Fall Protection

I don't see the point in this incessant raking of leaves. Plus the freaking tree in front of my house still has leaves that are green and are just waiting for me to finish raking so they can fall when I kick back on the couch.
~
In the old days in Lynn, we used to pile the leaves up and burn them. The smell was so neat... it was the quintessential scent of autumn. Naturally that is illegal now. Government is doing it's job protecting us from ourselves. Something about fire hazards, although I never remember any problem burning leaves when I was growing up. Maybe we were just lucky.

A Cool Name

Many of you continue to ask the rather annoying question, "Where did you come up the name of this Blog?"
~
Before the Pilgrims landed, the Sachem Nanepashemet of the Naumkeag band of the Massachusetts Algonquin tribe was the ruler of all of the land along the coastline from the Charles River in Boston, to the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth, and north as far as the New Hampshire White Mountains.
~
He was killed in a raid in 1619 by the fierce MicMac Tarratine tribe that inhabited the Maine coast from the Saco River northward.
~
There is a lot more to the story, but that is all I feel like telling you now.
~
This turn of the century hotel that used to be on Marblehead Neck was also named after him. Apparently, other people over time have thought it was a cool name too.

POTW Week 42

It's times like these when you see the real fabric of the person. Find out what they're really made of.... observe their character.
~
Many of you sucked it up and realized that I had to neglect the Blog while I tended to business.
~
You let your need for a pathetic Blog fix take a second seat, because you saw the intense pressure that I faced in pumping out deliverables from 5:30AM to 1:00AM the following morning.
~
To you I hold undying gratitude, loyalty and respect. The rest of you low-life, knuckle-dragging, nit-wit wannabees can burn in hell for the next million years or so.
~
The simple fact is that Nanepashemet Telecom came through bigtime, like the cutting edge, state of the art, professional organization that it is. Now it's time to boogie down.
~

Stepping It UP

We know you're busy... but, make sure that you get everything else done, despite all of the stuff that you are currently doing.
~
Lesser men would wilt.

Time for the Mountain of a Man to make an appearance.

To each accordin' to his needin', well, comraddens, its time to help Slim here with his needin.'

Mega Peep Offspring

Mega Peeps, Stacey and Brian Butler, have done it again!!!!!
~
This time by successfully bringing Grady Thomas Butler into the world today at a healthy weight of 7lbs, 1 ounce.
~
Happy Birthday Grady!
~
We're expecting great things from you as the first born of such illustrious Mega Peeps. Even the gout that has flared up in my right big toe cannot dim the joy of this moment!

Threats and Innuendos

Even though the weekend is here, I have to maintain a vigorous attention to the matters at hand at Nanepashemet Telecom. By Friday, Oct. 31, a week from today, all the deliverables will have been made, and it will be time for a bit of a reprieve. But this weekend is all business.
~
I do admit that it was a hell of a week.... with a couple of incoming shells which we diffused harmlessly.
~
There have been a number of times when I have had a rising star in business. The one constant is that you are bound to make enemies. When you are succeeding, you shine a light on those who are not cutting it, and you are also taking the place of those who feel that they have a right to your position.
~
Both instances cause hostility.
~
In business, if everybody likes you, you're doing something wrong. You want the Assholes, Incompetents, and Phonies to be threatened and condemn you. If they didn't, you would be just like them.

POTW Week 41

Today, I got up with the express intention of doing just one particular thing. Total concentration. Not a waiver from the effort.
~
Naturally, that was the only thing that I didn't work on.... and I worked alot!
~
It was one of those days replete with wierd shit occurring - both good and irritating.
~
I came really close to buying a 9 HP Honda 4 Stroke from Ryan Marine to build the Gunning Dory around. That's how crazy the day got. Now it's going to get even worse!

Picked up another web site today.
~
Nanepashemet is getting so big that every customer needs their own piece of our cyberspace.

Home Sweet Home

After two days down in Mystic County, Connecticut, I get to commute to Sturbridge, MA this morning. What a break! Only a two hour drive rather than three! Plus, I won't have to drive past the Mohegan Sun Casino and be tempted to veer off course for a couple of hours.
~
The problem with getting up and out around 5:00 AM for me is that it really screws up my internal routine, and I feel uncomfortable for the rest of the day until the afternoon when I search for a public rest room to make things right. I hate doing my duty in public. Lining the seat is always a pain, and I still feel all general public germy and stuff.
~
There is no place like home.

Universe Fabric

Peeps....
~
Didn't I give you fair warning????
~
Didn't I explicitly say that I was out straight with Nanepashemet Telecom and that I wouldn't be coming up for air until Nov. 1????
~
So what's with all of your whining and complaining about not having a nice fresh Nanepashemet Blog Post that you can get into the fetal position and suck your thumb with?
~
It's all about you, isn't it? You don't care how overworked and stressed out I am, as long as you get your little Blogging fix on a daily basis. You, You, and not to be overlooked, You. Disgusting, self centered, bombastic blobs of paltry protoplasm.
~
If I didn't think that it would rip a hole in the fabric of the Universe, I'd shut down this pathetic blog right here, right now.
~
Whoa.... That even scares me!

The flock of Tufted Titmice along with a pair of Cardinals and a White Breasted Nuthatch were among the ubiquitous sparrows on the feeder this morning .
~
I'm totally stoked!
