Give Yourself the Present

Lately Peeps....
~
As I negotiate the daily Rat Race at Nanepashemet Telecom, I come up with an interesting revelation, that I've been aware of all along but rarely practice.... that the only harmonic spot in you life is your immediate present.
~
When you think of the past, you constantly reevaluate, and when you think of the future you worry about the outcome.... but when you exist solely in the present moment, there is a joy of being that engulfs you.
~
It takes a little courage and a lot of practice to let go of the past, and refuse to control the future.
~
But you should try it.   A little at a time... as much as you can.
~
The present fusion of past turning into present is really the only reality.... and it's a cool place to hang out.

Telltale Sign

So I get my Massachusetts License to Carry Firearms  renewed today and the polite Marblehead Police Officer hands me a spiffy new license with my photo on it....so far so good... until I get to the part where they describe my eye and hair color.
~
Eyes  - Brown
Hair  - Grey
~
It's the first time that I've ever had my hair described as Grey, so I might as well admit that I'm now on the downside and can kiss my brown hair good bye.   No Grecian Formula for me.  I'm Grey and Greyer from here on in.
~
It's a sure sign that I'm getting old and can't hide anything with my Mountain of a Man cool appearance.
~
At least it didn't say.....
Hair  - None

POTW Week 48

Peeps...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
~
Snowflakes are gently falling in Marblehead, and Joanne is busy decorating the Christmas tree.   I'm getting tired just watching her, so I pretended to be catching up on Nanepashemet Telecom with this computer when I am really posting in this pathetic Blog.
~
Seems like the perfect time to tend to the Peep of the Week Selections.

ANNOUNCING....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 48th Week of 2012

T. Michael Rockett
Tommy O'Shea
Joe Collins
Amanda "Used to be Johnson, but don't know her new Swedish name"
The Smithfield, R.I. Building Commissioner
Rick Vitale

She's on her last ornaments so I probably am safe to log off of this computer.

Goodwill Towards Men

We have a holiday in the United States where we celebrate Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards Men.
~
It's name is Christmas.
~
It used to be a pagan celebration, then was morphed into observation of the birth of Jesus Christ.
~
Now we have an imaginary fat elf named Santa Claus who presumably brings gifts to children and places them under a decorated Christmas tree in their homes.
~
What the hell does this have to do with our Constitutional separation of church and state?   Nothing...., but  presumptuous, full-of-themselves people who don't have a clue, like those NPR Freaks and Governor Chafee of Rhode Island, get all twisted about calling things "Christmas" Parties or "Christmas" Trees.  Hey... if you're against Goodwill Toward Men, then knock yourselves out.
~
The Nanepashemet ruling on this issue is that Christmas is a secular, state holiday, when we all try to be nice to each other.  The fact that many Christians celebrate this as a religious holiday should not be the overiding issue.
~
Peace on Earth, Goodwill.... yes, even Goodwill to stupid Liberals.

Boardwalk Empire

Not that you asked, but my favorite show these days is HBO's Boardwalk Empire.
~
The season finale is next Sunday, but there is sure to be a season to follow.

Winter Projects

While having Thanksgiving at Ryan's apartment, I realized that I had never come through with a toy chest for my grandson, Ethan, much as I had for his brother, Will.
~
Course there were good reasons at the time and it isn't an issue of pure neglect, but now it's time to rectify things and get some overdue projects like the chest and the gunning dory back on track.
~
All of the moulds for the dory including the bow and stern keels are complete along with the base, so that really is just a project ready for strip planking.  I have the starter cedar 1/4" strips as well, left over from the Herreshoff Columbia Tender.
~
Ethan's chest though still has some decision points.  Do I do it with the traditional dovetail desgn that worked so well with Will's or do I try a panelized version like this model found in Fine Woodworking a few years ago?
~

And Will's was a nice combination of mahogany and oak which I had on hand at the time due to the remodeling of the Beverly Ave. Kitchen.   If I have to buy stock, it would be nice to work with walnut or cherry.
~
So we'll try to move these out of the shop by springtime.
~
That's the current good intention,  Nanepashemet Telecom always takes precedence though unless Joanne or I win Powerball or something.

Laying Low

I tried hard to lay low today, after all the turkey at Ryan's and then the big Pat's win over the J-E-T-S.... Jets, Jets, Jets.
~
The Jets are the only team that I really like to see the Pats beat, and hate to seem them lose to... and over the years, the Jets have had the upper hand a disordinate portion of the time for my standards.   But not last night, which was a nice cap to a semi- perfect day.
~
Thanksgiving is the best holiday.  No political correctness required, no religious overtones.... just be thankful and hang with your family, watch football, take cat naps.  Course the family squabbles always arise, but that's just part of the charm of the day.
~
Joanne and I got up this morning and headed over to the YMCA, which will be a permanent part of the tradition from here on in if I can help it.  I still feel fat and loggy, but at least we did the noble thing.
~
No Black Friday shopping for me.  I can do without the crowds and do as much online as possible.
~
After the Y, Katelyn's betrothed, Brady and I went to the dump and got rid of about a dozen plastic bags of Bash Trash.   I really appreciated the help as I had budgeted about an hour for the job, but with Brady, the whole thing was complete in twenty minutes.   He's definitely a keeper as a potential son-in-law.
~
Then I settled in for some serious couch potato time, but by 1:00 PM, had the itches to do something, so went over to the Peabody Nanepashemet Warehouse and putted around with the woodworking machinery.  Plus Joanne was heavy into Christmas decorations and that's definitely not my strong suit.
~
So that's all.

POTW Week 47

Happy Thanksgiving Peeps.
It's the morning after the Bash and definitely feels like the morning after.
~
But how bad can it be when we had two automatics presented at the hallowed occasion?
~
Brendt D'Orio was the first to make the ultimate gesture of the gift of the King of Scotch, Lagavulin 16 Year Single Malt.   But before the dust had settled, the lovely Maria Rowen had followed suit with another class move.
~
Both are no strangers as Peeps of the Week and have achieved the designation numerous times.  
~
But Peeps, I have to disclose a huge indescretion perpetrated upon me by Brendt's trophy wife, Kerry, who asked me to screw with Brendt by not naming him a POTW.  Are you serious, Kerry????  Do you really want me be to phuck around with an immutable Law of the Nanepashemet Universe?????  I am beyond annoyed, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I will forgive you.... this time.

ANNOUNCING.....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 47th Week of 2012

Brendt D'Orio (Automatic Lagavulin Rule)
Maria Rowen (Automatic Lagavulin Rule)
Kerry D'Orio
Katelyn Nestor
Rob Wise
Amanda Johnson

We are going over to Ryan's House for Turkey dinner today, with the Patriots playing this evening.  So we will definitely have a Happy Thanksgiving.   Hope you do too

Pre-Apology

Peeps...
It's the holiday season...
~
So I'm officially not letting stuff aggravate the crap out of me.
~
President in Burma/Myamar when Israel is getting Bombed and the Fiscal Cliff looms Large????  No Biggie.
~
Governor Deval Patrick giving in-state tuition to illegal immigrants??? Make sure they have enough left over for Domino's late night pizza delivery.
~
Federal Judge Wolf spending our public funds on sex changes for murderers????  I've seen him do stupid shit before so WTF.
~
See????  Even this Bullshit can't get me out of my mellow holiday mood.
~
Tomorrow, I'll be racheting down the action at Nanepashemet Telecom after a little invoicing chores, then will be making the dough for the White Trash Balls that Brian Butler and Will Crawford crave so much, then I will dig out the turkey fryer and give it a serious cleaning for the Buffalo wings.
~
Then Mike and I will hit the Packy for the Beer and Wine run.  That is becoming our little father/son pre-bash tradition.
~
Sometime after dark, tomorrow evening, the biggest event in a Nanepashemet Peep's life..... the Thanksgiving Eve Bash.... will be fully implemented in all of it's refined yet tasteless splendor.
~
If I don't see you, "Happy Thanksgiving."
If I do see you, "I apologize ahead of time for all the crazy shit coming your way."

Authomatics and Expectations.

Although there have been a few Automatic Peeps of the Week this year, we will be hard pressed to meet the record at the Thanksgiving Eve Bash last year when no less than five bottles of Lagavulin were conveyed with great ceremony to the Mountain of a Man, thus triggering an Authomatic POTW designation.
~
Not that I advocate this practice, Peeps.  Although the gesture is more than appreciated.
~
As the great actor, Anthony Hopkins said,..."Expect Nothing, Accept Everything."
~
So we will be heading to the Bash in that exceptional frame of mind.  It makes everything so much easier.
~
Speaking of that, you already know if you are invited, even if no formal invitations exist. 
You know who you are.
