Not Lip Service

My friend, Harvey Rowe, is a doer not a talker.
~
Although he can still talk a good game.
~
But he doesn't just say that "My Brother's Table" soup kitchen in Lynn is a worthy cause.
~
He actively recruits his friends and family to lend a hand.
~
Not a bad looking dishwashing crew!

Thanks John/jay but the heroes are the ones in the picture like Ryan who gave his all and helped get 200 or so people feed and made their day a little better.......


Er.....
Harvey....
I didn't exactly refer to you as a "Hero", just as a freaking "Doer". I think you've read a little too much in.

Off Line

Peeps -

My Internet connection was down last night.

I felt so naked.

Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July.
~
We finally had a sunny dry day up here in the Boston Area. Went over to Will Crawford's house in Old Town, where his brother Chris was smoking five huge racks of ribs.
~
Many cool Peeps dropped by, including the very beautiful granddaughter of "My Friend Who Doesn't Want His Name Metioned in the Blog", Caroline Bruett.
~
Kevin Rockett gave us his insight of some of the intrigue at the Gerry Club, and I took a close look at Peter Crawford's motor scooter.

Pictures to follow.

Nanepashemet Job Opportunities

For all of you who have sent resumes to Nanaepashemet Telecom....
Be careful what you ask for.

~
Not every day is as good as this one.

Celebrating with Johnson

It's technically a work day at Nanepashemet Telecom. So we'll have our conference call, do some accounting, make a bank deposit, and tend to a few details. No big road trips today. Time to rachet this business machine back and shift into idle.
~
Plus, the Johnson's 4th of July Cookout is this evening and we want to harvest some lobsters, boil them, shuck them and bring the meat over for Lobster rolls. I suppose that we have to bring mayonaise, celery, and the imperative Nissan Hot Dog Rolls. A huge bonus is that Amanda and Jeremy have flown in from California and Minnesota... this is big time special.
~
So all in all, we will be pulling the traps and dispatching about twenty lobsters for this Dale and Gail Extravanganza. The Johnson's are the real deal. You find out who really counts during times like these.
~
Most of you really count too and have shown your friendship and support. Our family will never forget you.
~
Have a great 4th of July. You deserve it.

Tuna Lips said...
I am celebratory with my johnson every ding dong day. Why, you throw in a run away and a strung out street walker, its a regular marty graw. Me a my johnson is tight like that. No less than whitnee huston said learning to loves yerself is the greatest love. I likes that. Words to live by.

Sorry.

I guess this Post Title was a High Soft One for our friend Tuna Lips. He took the bait quick and hard.

Dirt Under the Fingernails.

Those of you who know me as a top executive with rapier sharp business skills will be shocked to learn that I spent the day in Rockland, Maine helping Alex and Ryan set a communications shelter and pour a concrete stoop with 25 8lb sacks of 5000 psi Sacrete.
~
Is this a misuse of talent???
~
I don't care what you think.
~
A little sweat, dirt and grime doesn't hurt... as long as I don't have to do it everyday like those guys.

Karmic Justice

Thanks for all of the great emails today.
~
Just remember that people with axes to grind and negative motives tend to self destruct. Their transparency becomes obvious despite the rhetoric.
~
Don't worry. Justice ultimately prevails. The law of Karma dictates that.

Tuna Lips said...

TL alway prevails in de end, too. I often tell that no good hoochie Miss Pudding such. Restrainin' order or no restrainin' order.

Republican Reality

Does this women look crazy to you??
~
Trust me, she's not.
~
That's a special peep, Lisa Rowe, who still doesn't know that Barach Obama was elected President of the United States.
~
Don't break the news on her quickly. It will be like waking someone who's sleepwalking.
~
Wait till she finds out that Al Franken is a Senator from Minnesota.

Bitchy Trophy Wife said...

Ms. Rowe is a smart woman. Mitt 2010!

Tuna Lips said...

Looks like this philly needs some pacificatin'. Them big hoops danglin' from her ears says to me she has seen her share of sinnin'. I likes that.

Duffy Lewis

This is about Duffy Lewis, Not Monica Lewinsky.
If you are looking for Monica, click Here.

Duffy Lewis was always one of my favorites.

Boston Red Sox (1910–17) New York Yankees (1919-20) Washington Senators (1921)
Career highlights and awards
World Series champion: 1912, 1915, 1916

"In 11 seasons, Lewis batted .284 with 38 home runs, 793 RBI, 612 runs, 1518 hits, 289 doubles, 68 triples, and 113 stolen bases in 1459 games.

During his tenure in Boston patrolling left field, Fenway Park featured a ten-foot-high mound that formed an incline in front of the left field wall, now better known as the Green Monster. The young outfielder mastered the incline to such an extent that it was nicknamed "Duffy's Cliff". Sports cartoons of the period often depicted him as a mountain climber making catches amid sheep and snowcaps. The mound was eventually reduced in 1934, long after Lewis had left the Sox, and was not completely eliminated until the field underwent a major renovation following the 2004 season." - Wikipedia

Every once in awhile, you take a swing and drive the ball right out of the park.
~
Everything that we intended to accomplish in the business meeting came out better than expected.
~
It's like the turning point in "Step Brothers" when Will Farrell asks John Riley....
~
"Did we just become Best Friends?"
~
"Yep."

Sweating the Small Stuff

The appeal of running a small business at Nanepashemet Telecom was getting my hands dirty. At General Dynamics, I was very far away from the action at all times. And you don't get too much dirt under your fingernails giving Powerpoint Presentations.
~
That's not to say that I don't do the executive sort of things at Nanepashemet. Especially when we have to pitch new business.
~
But usually, we don't have to be executives and get sweaty at construction sites on the same day.
~
Tomorrow will be different. We'll be finishing up a site in the morning, then pitching an account by lunchtime. Not sure how I will deal with the sweat issue.

Philosohical Phallout

I didn't mean to get so philosophical in that last post.
~
It just kind of slipped out.
~
I mean, I'm not a freaking guru or something.
~
I'm not forming a cult or anything.
~
So don't be pledging me your life long loyalty and asking me to father your children.
~
It was all a big misunderstanding.
