Steve and Jill Lewis Got Married

Struggling to recuperate from the Lewis-Tufts Wedding this morning.   Dana and Merry Tufts had the Moraine Farm in Beverly rocking for about 300 close friends. 
~
Mikey was a Best Man of Stevie and Jill looked fantastic. 
~
(Maybe that last statement was a little Gay, but she really looked good.)
~
It was a rainy, humid night in a tent, and even in my portly, middle aged manner of Shaking my Booty, I was riddled with sweat. 
~
Now I'm a little sore from the intensive boogying.
~
Have to take the ride to Ayer now, but when we return, pictures will be posted.

Objective Review

Will I buy and read this book?
~
You bet your sweet ass I will.
~
Sarah Palin has been screwed by the Liberal Elite more than anybody I know of in my increasingly long lifetime.  I'll take her over that self important manipulator, Katie Couric, any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
~
Plus, she is sizzling HOTTTT!!!

POTW Week 40

Well... At least I scared the shit out of him.
~
In fhe first hole I shot a Par 4, despite an errand tee shot that required a pitch out.
~
Archrival Joe Collins for a moment felt that he might have been snookered.  But then my real game emerged, and the Sinister Joe gained his composure.  Yes, he was as good as the Club Champion Plaques indicated, and proceeded to demonstrate his despicable 5 handicap in shot after shot.
~
There clearly is no God.

ANNOUNCING...

Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 40th Week of 2008

Joe Collins

Abby Bruett

Katelyn Nestor

Jill Tufts

Steve Apostolides

Bobby Brown

I will have my revenge.

Karma for Letterman

My heart goes out to David Letterman. 
~
The self-righteous, Bush/Palin hating, funnyman getting caught in a sex scandal just doesn't seem fair. 
~
But the Law of Karma is the ultimate judge.
~
Sorry Dave, but you are one of the top ten Assholes in my book.

Tsunami Precaution

The Tsunami in Samoa is unsettling to say the least.   With the body count cresting over 100 victims, it had to be a horrific situation.  So far, the tsunami's have occurred in far away places - the Indian and South Pacific Oceans.  But an earthquake off of the Eastern Seaboard is just as likely.
~
I've actually seen what happens when the ocean washes into a home over on Marblehead Neck during one of the October storms that have hit the New England Area in the last twenty years.  In that case, about $100K worth of antiques were ruined.  But that was just a storm surge... A tsunami is a whole other wave, with its own energy.
~

I suppose that it is only a matter of time when any coastal area gets hit.  Maybe I'll keep the Herreshoff Columbia Tender loose on the trailer in the driveway for now on.  Just in case.

It seems in the aftermath of a tsunami, scientists flood us with tidal waves of predictions. And though ‘they’ are unable to forecast a specific date, an article “Atlantic Tsunamis” written in 2005 (grandchronicles.com) outlines what we can expect when the big one hits. The Atlantic Ridge, will be devastated. The good news is there will be many events leading to the main event so we have a good chance of enough advance notice to be ready. I prefer to see the glass half full and all that good stuff. I know absolutely nothing about boats or ships or sloops but I would opt for the driveway.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ~

Maria -

If you can tell us when the Tsunami is going to hit, we'll save you a seat in the Tender.

I had me a tsunami of sorts in the rest room of the Route 55 Big Boy burger joint. Had a bad crawdad po' boy and nearly blew out the bottom of my colonoscopy. They had to post warning signs, some of the yellow murder scene tape was afixed to the scene of the great storm. The locals that knows of it call to mind the Chickesaw River floodin' of '55.

Sinister Golf Plot

Just as I was starting to get into a good work groove this week, I get an invitation to play in a member guest golf tournament at the Oakley Country Club this Friday.from my Archrival, Joe Collins.  It definitely threw my thought processes off track.
~
Collins knows how much I suck at golf, so I have no choice but to believe that this is a sinister plot designed to throw some indignity my way.   I'm sure that he thought that I would decline, so I called his bluff and accepted his insidious invitation.
~
So we will be scarring the fairway turf and looking for out of bounds balls this Friday afternoon over in Watertown.  Being a Mountain of a Man means having the fortitude to fight through the plots and traps that your Archrivals plant before you.

Murph Birth

In all of the confusion, depression, and egotisical self-absorption, I neglected to inform you that former Peep of the Year, Michael Murphy and his beautiful wife, Beth, brought two new Peeps into the world.

Now I knows why lions eat they young. Them poor chilluns have not a chance, right out the gate.

Orders Uptake

The 4th Quarter starts this week.   In the corporate Telecom world, that is when the orders start to pile up because carriers want to get their capital budgets allocated, and managers rev up their numbers so that they receive their incentive bonuses.
~
Nanepashemet Telecom will be ready for the uptake, and we intend to open our West Coast office in the midst of it all.  Being a Mountain of a Man means that you can't be intimidated by a little extra work.

Unconditional Relationship

Joanne and I took a nice drive to FMC Devens this morning.  Mike was right.  It seemed like a low end prep school, very clean and green with nice athletic facilities - only with no curriculum and a dorm full of men of all ages wearing the same clothes.
~
Seems to be tolerable with the lack of freedom and constant supervision being the primary factors used for punishment.  If you step out of line, they put you into a "hole" in solitary confinement with terrible food for an indeterminate amount of time.  Our boy spent four days in this environment, under the auspices of seeing the results of a TB test.   But it is really a taste of how hard a time this could be.... and a terrific deterrent.   The threat of this guarantees an overall culture of good behavior.
~
So we'll make this trip for as many times as it takes.... because that is what we do.

POTW - Week 39

So my prayer for a Bluefish Blitz wasn't heeded.
~
But our customer was relaxed with the boat ride and our fishing effort. and really seemed to like dinner at the Boston Yacht Club.
~
The Dockmaster at the BYC graciously let me tie up at the Dock for dinner.   But after a number of the fine Dark and Stormies that the Club serves, I felt it best to leave the WhaleEye tied up for the night and retrieve it in the morning.... which I did at 7:00AM this morning.... despite a sharp wind from the Northeast and cool temperatures.
~
Still no blitzes in sight, even close to dawn.

Announcing.... Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 39th Week of 2009

Brian Stanton

Gail Johnson

Joanne Nestor

Rick Breed

Matt DelGaudio

Will Crawford

As yet, I haven't landed a Bluefish this season.   That's not acceptable.

Pisc said...

Dude, what is wrong with you? No bluefish? Boat fisherman, like all fisherman, need to know where the fish are. Then you have to catch them. And bluefish are like sailors in the combat zone, they whack anything. So I figure you are fishing where the fish are not. I think you need some Christ on the Sea of Galilee kind of magic. Get with God, el Jefe.

Democrats in Power

Thank heavens that the emergency is over, and we have two US Senators representing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
~
When you are mired in bureaucracy, waitng to get basic health care services, remember the courageous acts of Gov. DP, who came to our rescue in these desperate times.  Just keep forcefeeding that Bullshit.
~
Do you get the feeling that the Democrats just treat us like a herd of Wilderbeest??? Meandering toward a river filled with Crocodiles???
~
I don't know about you, but I am really getting nervous about Obama's international affairs judgements.  He reminds me of Jimmy Carter who was spit upon by crazy assed, Iranian Mullahs.    Some wacky group will be taking a run at us soon.
~
Deja Vu all over again.

Blitz Prayer

I'm taking out some major customers for some fishing in Marblehead Sound tomorow.  If there is a God in Heaven, He will put me into a Bluefish Blitz.  
~
That would insure some major business.
