Time for an Autumn Cocktail



So for the Patriots Jaguars game, Joanne has some beer can chicken on the grill while I  whipped up a batch of apple crisp and baked a couple loaves of bread.

Plus, with the cool Sept. temps rolling in, it is time to reintroduce the official Nanepashemet cocktail of autumn..... Seagrams VO and Apple Cider with a little nutmeg and cinnamon, preferably served in a Masons Jar.

The Pats are up 10 to 3 in the 2nd qtr, and I am also on my 2nd.

Your MOAM Fix

Lots of Peeps have been emailing me, leaving voicemails, messaging lately.

The consistent theme on all of these feeble attempts to communicate with the MOAM is a pathetic inquiry into what particular circumstances have been occupying my time lately.

Since I don't blog half as much as I used to, there is a part of me that comes close to sympathizing with the agony that ordinary Peeps must feel when they can't gain solace or inspiration by constantly observing and emulating my latest moves.

And since I am a MOAM of extraordinary compassion for lesser Peeps, Ive decided to share with you a bit of my latest mundane, yet extremely intriguing, day to day activities.

Last night, Joanne and I went to the Warwick Cinema in downtown Marblehead to see a showing of "Black Mass".... the story of  the South Boston criminal, Whitey Bulger, starring Johhny Depp.  Peeps... this is no freaking sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean,  Depp was terrifying as the ruthless thug, and the Boston scenes and characterizations were interesting and believably accomplished.

I've always had a soft spot for Billy Bulger, the Massachusetts Senate President and brother to Whitey.   I feel that he was an effective leader during a tumultuous period, but his legacy will always be eclipsed by the fact that we was Whitey's brother.  I've met and been in his company several times and have a fondness for a man who would not wilt under the pressures of a liberal Massachusetts establishment that was threatened by his populist successes.

Billy's characterization in Black Mass was well done, yet I feel came short of the depth and complexity of the man and his public conundrums.

After the theater, we headed over to the Boston Yacht Club for a Friday night dinner.   The BYC is the best of the yacht clubs in Marblehead in my opinion... solely because thy had the insight yet incredible misjudgment to accept your MOAM as a member.   The Commodore Prime Rib cut, served by Kasandra, the pretty young waitress from Springfield,  didn't disappoint.  After a couple of Jameson Irish night caps, Friday night concluded rather successfully.

This morning, despite a case of sciatica that has been ravaging the MOAM's lower extremities for the past week, I hoped on the Ttek Domane Road Bike and pedaled the 10.8 miles to son, Mike's Beverly Farms house. Mike was psyched to have gotten nice price to remove a couple of lumbering pines in his yard, and he and Pam were preparing to go to Conn. for a wedding or something.   I moved on and rode the 6,2 miles to Katelyn's house in Wenham.

This Sciatica case has me baffled.   No pain pushing on the road bike, but standing around is close to unbearable... even for a stiff upper lib MOAM like myself.   Kate and Brady drove me and the bike in their SUV to Manchester where we took a look at the totally cool 1830's vintage map of the US that they have recovered from their Wenham house renovation.   We went over to Essex, where a antique map expert blew us away with his understanding and interpretation of the may based upon his knowledge of American History, and the way that the map gave away its historical age by the territory names that it portrayed.   It may be valuable if it can be meticulously restored.

So then Kate and Brady drove me as far as the Beverly Salem Bridge where I got out and pedaled the five miles back home to Marblehead.

So that's it for now, Peeps.  Other stuff might have happened, but Ill leave that up to your fantasies and pathetic imagination.

Great Men

Dad and Bill jpg 2

This is a photo of my father, John Nestor, on the left and my good friend, Bill Calnan, third from the left.  Looks like they are bowling in the Lynn Division 10  Ancient Order of Hibernian’s bowling league in the early 1960’s.

Bill worked with me at the Lynn Housing Authority and was my most trusted confidant in a highly volatile work environment, and my father…. well.. he sired me among other things.

Both of these guys taught me a lot, and both passed way too soon.

Some of you Peeps knew them.  I wish all of you could have.

Stupid Douche Bags

Not that you asked for my opinion.... you rarely do.... but I feel the need to add to the Akashic narrative tonight with the wisdom/stupidity of this humble offering.

If you are a 14 year old Muslim kid named Mohammed from Texas.... don't be bringing a lunch box filled with wires and that is ticking to show to the kids at your school.  Because you will be handcuffed and incarcerated.

Is this a case of profiling????   You bet your politically correct ass it is.  And well it should be.   A class of people with significant percentages calling us the "Great Satan" and screaming "Death to America" should gain our passing interest.   Especially right around 9/11.  Remember the murders at Fort Hood and the Boston Marathon???   Who the PHUCK caused these atrocities????? Presbyterians?   Episcopalians????   No... it was Muslims.

So let's not be so freaking open minded that our squishy brains fall out.

What kind of public official would let this instance go unchecked in light of the contemporary facts?

But what I fail to understand is that the mentally deranged POTUS of this unfortunate country invites little Mohammed to the White House.  And tells him to bring along his "Clock".

Sorry Peeps.... I'm about to call the President of the United States a STUPID DOUCHE BAG.   Sure his Dad was a Muslim, Barack  most assuredly is as well, such as he has admitted to an exasperated George Stephanopoulous ..... but the facts remain that a Muslim kid running around with a device that looks like a Freaking BOMB should be tackled and hogtied.   Not invited to the Oval Office for a photo op.

Please stop me before the FBI and NSA send me and this pathetic Blog to the Gulag.

I'm pissed off at what Muslim Extremist Terrorists have done to my countrymen.   If I had relatives killed or maimed at the Twin Towers or the Boston Marathon.... I honestly don't know how I would control myself when I hear the President of the United States glibly tweets encouragement to a stupid Muslim kid in Texas with no sensibility.

There are two stupid douche bags in this post.

Information Technology

We have become beholden to our computers.  They allow us to process stuff so quickly that expectations for instant response…. not only from customers and co-workers, but also from ourselves and the stress that we place on our own production….is becoming overburdening.  There is always one more task that you can squeeze out, which causes ennui.

testing Windows 10

Here goes another dozen hours or so.

Tom Brady and MOAM's.

Peeps....
This Nanepashemet Blog keeps cruising to the top of the Blog world... now ranking in the top 5000 in the United States,,,, despite my neglect in posts and overall drop in intellectual contribution,
~
I guess it's part of the MOAM Mystique.   Things just keep getting better no matter what the Hell I do.
~
Like my grilled pizza for example.  Tonight, in anticipation of the Patriots-Steelers season opener, I grilled a artichoke, olive and pepperoni pizza with a mozzarella provolone cheese mixture and tomato vodka sauce.   The grill got to 600 degrees before I put the pizza onto the stone and in five minutes I was eating the best pizza ever made by a person of Irish American descent.
~
Granted, my Godfather was an Italian, but we fell out of touch years ago,
~
Even Joanne said it was good, and she secretly hates it when my cooking kicks ass.
~
So now I have laid down a good base to see Tom Brady and the Pats take the field this evening at 8:30PM at Gillette Stadium.

Speaking of Brady..... the country has been embroiled in a sideshow in the offseason regarding charges that Brady cheated by managing a convoluted process to lessen the air pressure in the game footballs.  I find it amusing as well as irritating at the people who rush to judgement to declare that Tom Brady cheats using this ridiculous ruse.

Brady commits the cardinal sin,,, he is extremely competent in his job in a very competitive industry.  Guys like that always are victimized by lesser men,,,, those who know they could never be his peer, and seek to punish him because of their own deeply held self-disgust,

Peeps,.. I know of which I speak,   It happens to every MOAM.

September Focus

First day of September.  The bite of last winter is still with me, and now the summer is almost gone.  September stills feels like a summer month here in New England, with the days starting to shorten and a chill starting to move into the air though.

I haven't caught one fish this summer, and it has been an unproductive season in other ways as well.  The death of Lisa and the marriage of Mike and Pam were two emotional extremes that colored the season.

There is still a month and a half of solid boating, and I would like to get out and do some serious fishing as the Blues and Stripers get ready to head back south this year.

It's a Fact

I'm much more interested in people's bias and opinions than a compilation of facts. People generally don't care about facts. If they did, then this country wouldn't be subsidizing an agency that sells fetus parts.

Zombie Attack


PHOTO: President Barack Obama, left, talks with former President Bill Clinton, right, as they play golf on the first hole at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs, Mass., on Marthas Vineyard, Aug. 15, 2015.
Peeps....
You know that I have been highly critical of our POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama.

But that's just politics... I would never wish him any physical harm.

That's why I was so disturbed when I saw this photo of the Prez being threatened by this Zombie disguised as Bill Clinton as he was trying to get in a simple round of golf during his 2 1/2 week vacation at Martha's Vineyard.

Where the Hell is the Secret Service when you really need them????

More Stuff to Ponder

Stuff I've been thinking about lately....

Tom Brady is completely innocent, and Roger Goodell is a manipulative asshole.   Brady and Belichick have figured out how to dominate the NFL and thus have acquired many enemies.... both in brain dead fans of opposing teams, and owners who can't beat the Pats no matter what.   Brady is an honest achiever, which causes immense jealousy from all of the posers out there.

Hilary Clinton will not win the Democratic nomination for President.... Joe Biden will.   The fast and loose practice of Clinton's use of classified top secret documents has people with the real power.... deep in the CIA, NSA and other parts of the Spook Community,,,  wicked pissed off, and she will be lucky to get out without a legal indictment or worse.

The EPA's incompetence in polluting major river watersheds in the West is an example of the ineptness of the Obama administration.   The lack of management skill is so apparent throughout this regime.... from their ineptness in foreign policy, to the debacle of ObamaCare, to the IRS scandal, to the immigration debacle,to the utter deterioration of race relations,  etc, etc. etc..... and now the EPA poisoning the river shows that the buffoonery is completely widespread.  Liberals cannot administer.

Bill Cosby is a disgusting piece of Doggy Doo Doo.   With all of his money, he couldn't get a little poon tang without drugging women.   He is a loser, and deserves to see his legacy completely emasculated.

Did I already say that Tom Brady is completely innocent?   He should sue that dirtbag Goodell for character assassination.   Goodell needs to feel the wrath of the Law of Karma sooner than later.

Getting old is a painful process.  You can't throw a baseball anymore, or shoot a basketball, or jog a mile.   At least you can ride a bike.... but then people people like your son, Ryan, tell you that local drivers are complaining about the way you ride.   Screw them.  Take a detour if you see me riding.  This is my last stand, and you can kiss my Fat, White, Irish Arse if you think I'm moving over because you want to get to the Yacht Club a few minutes earlier.

That's it for now.

Satisfying, Yet Kind of Stinky

Stuff that has my juices flowing lately .....

Amy Shumer.   I think she is funny in an incredibly crude way.  I wouldn't watch her show around women that I didn't know well.   And she seems to be trending lately and gaining fame.
So.... That's it.   Don't be telling me about Gun Control, Amy.   You have absolutely no expertise.... just because you are good at slutty jokes.

Defunding Planned Parenthood.  Anyone who has ignored the videos where these Liberal Monsters discuss the way they harvest fetus parts for resale..... is an AssHole.   Capital A.  AssHole.   There is no excuse for not driving this barbaric program into the ground.   Let  someone else with ethics handle any lawful service that these Butchers are being subsidized for.

Donald Trump.  He is not a clown.   He is not a phony.   He is a phenomenally successful business man.   That didn't happen because he is lucky or endowed with previous wealth.   He is ahead of the pack because he has an innate sense of what works for people and what doesn't.  He can definitely win.

Iran Deal.  The Mullahs will certainly welsh on this.  After all... they have a contract with Infidels which can be voided at any time as far as they are concerned.   Obama and Kerry negotiated this to the best of their ability.... which is why the deal totally sucks.    It is only a matter of time until we will have to cruise missile the Iranian nuclear assets.

Hillary Clinton.  People who support her are delusional airheads.   "She is for women" is the slogan frequently heard by Moonbat admirers.   Especially those trailer park beauties preferred by her predator spouse, and oppressed Muslims living in those Middle Eastern countries that contribute to the Clinton Foundation.

Glad that I got these thoughts out.   It feels a little like passing gas after a plate of franks and beans,... Satisfying, yet still kind of Stinky.

Planned Butcherhood



Scientific proof that reincarnation is real.

Planned Parenthood harvests fetuses and butchers them to sell the parts.

Isn't that special?   We have been reverted to uncivilized barbarians.

BTW....  American taxpayers contribute 1/2 Billion dollars to this sick Liberal travesty of an organization every year.

I believe in the legality of a women's right to choose to abort her embryo.   I hope that the reason is always a soul searched extreme circumstance.  But to kill and harvest a fetus is immoral and should be criminal.   Then these self righteous monsters at Planned Parenthood take it one step further and seek to profit from the death of this baby by selling it's body parts.  

Why are we not stringing these criminals up??????

So are we.

Not this Time for Boston




The Olympics will not be coming to Boston in 2024.
Image result for boston olympics
Which is too bad.   How great would it have been to have the world focus on this great city for a few weeks?

 Of course, this is said naively without any reference to the gritty impacts and financial effort needed to properly stage such an international event.

Since I was a little kid, the Olympics, especially the Summer version, have held a special fascination.   Track and Field, Swimming, Boxing, Wrestling.... it is a chance to demonstrate peak performance to the world and is a showcase of fundamental human potential.

Melbourne, Tokyo, Mexico City, Munich, Montreal, Moscow, Los Angeles, Barcelona, London....  every four years was a benchmark and a focus for tremendous athletic effort.

When  Jimmy Carter decided to politicize the event and pull out of the Moscow Olympics.... ironically because of the involvement of the USSR in Afghanistan.....  he corrupted the concept with his self righteous dictate.  Of course the Russians retaliated by boycotting the subsequent Los Angeles games, and the hopes of a generation of athletes were soured.

And the slaughter of Israeli Athletes in Munich by Arab Extremists showed the world how imperfect a civilization this continues to be in our modern era.

Yet the concept of the world coming together to compete every four years has survived, and Boston, the victim of the unthinkable atrocity at the Boston Marathon just two years ago, gamefully pitched its hat in the ring.

John Fish, the hard driving and ultra successful President of Suffolk Construction, first became the public face in the effort to attract the Olympics to Boston in 2024.   I knew Fish when he was just starting out, and I always liked him as a person and admired his drive.  I believe his efforts were sincere and driven by a civic and patriotic desire to showcase his city, but he was met with negative skepticism of seeking to profit from the development of the Games here.   Even when he recused his construction company from any involvement, the criticism continued.

Boston is the home of many great things, but is also the home of the Big Dig, the development of an underground highway system which had become so rift with billion dollar overruns that it was impossible to calculate the financial hemorrhaging or assess the mismanagement.

Then the big mistake happened in my admittedly limited viewpoint.  A committee of paid consultants and staff, including former Gov. Deval Patrick and numerous outgoing bureaucrats were formed to spearhead the effort to secure the Olympic designation.


After the advent of Patrick on the scene, and the sense of another bureaucratic feeding frenzy, the public skepticism would be difficult to overcome.  When guys like Fish were displaced, with Patrick and his cronies bellying up to an open bar, you had to be extremely naive not to believe that the Boston and Massachusetts taxpayers would not be mortgaged with another wasteful and corrupt financial boondoggle.

Mayor Marty Walsh saw the writing on the wall, and pulled the plug today after noting that the City of Boston taxpayers would have to insure the International Olympic Committee that overruns would he covered.  How could any Boston politician comply with this stipulation with a straight face, given the history of the big dig and the bureaucratic hacks circling like vultures?

If John Fish could have run this like a private venture, Boston would have its Olympics.   But that wasn't going to happen.   Marty Walsh saw the reality, and did the right thing.

It could have been great though.  But not this time.
