Our Nanepashemet Telecom work in Washington and Baltimore is going well. So is the project in Richmond, VA. The New England work continues to cook away. The Oregon work is on hold, but I'm pretty optimistic that it can kick in.

So what is the problem???

Nothing.

Deck Chair Arrangement
So the Spindoctor ABC Newscasters are saying that the Tea Party victories in Tuesday's primary elections represent a split and challenge to the Republican Party.
~
It can't be that they just don't get it.
~
They are trying to build a breakwater in front of a tsunami.
~
Pelosi and Obama and their advocacy for the incursion of Big Government into our private lives.... these are the targets of this movement. The Republican primaries were just the first indication of this wave.
~
Any efforts by the thought police to deflect this tsumani are counter productive.... Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
~
Let's see how they spin things in November.

Professional Sports Reporting
~
The marrried, mother of three was just trying to do her job.
~
Imagine the depravity of someone who would catcall her!!! Sexcrazed, perverted Jets players.
~
It's just another reason why I'm a Patriots fan.
~
There's just no justice for a smoking hot Reporter who has to hang around in professional football player's locker rooms in skin tight every day attire.
~
When can we finally learn to treat people with the respect that they deserve?

Eat to Live
A side benefit of my low carb diet has been increased energy. You don't get that heavy fatigue in the late afternoon, and you can get a lot more done.
~
As much as I like pizza, bread, pasta and potatoes.... it's easy to give them up in exchange for losing weight and feeling more energetic throughout the day.
~
So when I get to my ideal weight around the end of this year, it will be interesting to see if I can integrate the foods that I love, while maintaining the energy level. I'm starting to see the logic in "Eating to Live" rather than "Living to Eat".

Real Estate for Sale
I got a lot done today. I was disappointed with the Nanepashemet Real Estate For Sale signs that I had ordered, and had to trim them with some wood that I had in the garage. With a mahoghany cap, they came out looking a little cool if I say so myself, and they are now sitting outside the Sundance School and Beverly Ave.
~
Our strategy is to sell the first property that goes and either move to West Shore Drive or stay put at Beverly Ave. Each alternative has its good points and both would be acceptable for different reasons, which I won't get into here... plus it's none of your damn business anyway.
~
I mean... it doesn't matter where I live as far as this Blog is concerned.... the timeliness, intelligence, decadence, poignancy, and overall coolness will be there wherever I sit down to write it. So I don't need all sorts of drama coming from you just because we might be moving.
~
Deal with it.

Burning Books
This Koran burning Pastor Jones in Florida is a whack job.
~
He shouldn't be burning Scripture of any religion, but since he is a whack job.... what the hell can you do?...... and why should anyone be taking him seriously???
~
If he wants to burn Korans, Bibles, or Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat books.... we really shouldn't give a shit.
He's a whack job.
~
Burning a Bible can't hurt a Christian.
And burning a Koran can't hurt a Muslim.
Faith is not a piece of paper.

Also, flag burning doesn't hurt Americans. We've seen a lot of it and it doesn't lessen our resolve.

Weight Loss Trend
In response to the incessant inquiries regarding my weight loss program.... I'm now on day 35 of my specialized low carb, but have a beer once in awhile regimen, and have been losing weight averaging a little less than 1/2 a pound a day.
~
I cheated outright only once when I had some spaghetti and meatballs with the GrandKids.
~
It's important to weigh yourself and record the data every day, and I've constructed a chart in Excel which shows the fluctuations. Rather than a steady weight loss, it seems like there is a five pound range that decreases as a whole about a 1/2 pound per day. So I vary up and down over this loss trendline either 2.5 lbs above or 2.5 lbs. below.
~
It's no use being depressed when you are at the top of the range or elated when at the bottom. The daily weight is not the indication.... the average trendline is.
~
Exercise is crucial in addition to the carb intake. I've had some very active weekends working on property maintenance projects that have taken the place of sessions on the Cybex, but have lacked the consistency of exercise that could make a much greater pace.
~
But the key is patience. It took a while for me to become "Big Guy" (aka "Fat Shit"). Can't expect to get back into shape right away. What has taken a gradual thirty years to attain can't be turned around in a month.
~
But my current trend indicates that it can be turned around in about five months. And I'm only a little over the first month in.

Two Wrongs
Two wrongs don't make a right.
~
You don't build a mosque at ground zero to ingratiate radical Islamists and you don't burn Korans to insult them.
~
Once again, in the name of religion, people will be hurt and killed by these wrongs. Radical Imams' and Crazy Christian Ministers' - hard to tell the difference. Hate is the common factor

Lucky Dog.
President Obama says he gets treated like a dog.
~
What the hell does that mean?
~
He gets to live for free in a a big Southern Mansion, takes vacations anytime he wants, plays a lot of golf, sneaks in a smoke once in awhile.
~
Where does the dog part come in? C'mon Prez. Ease off of the whining. Stay with the Hope and Change theme and cut the dog talk.

Shrine for Sale
It was a nice cool weekend and I took advantage of it by getting our Beverly Ave. house ready to be put on the market. That mean't taking care of a few long term projects like trimming out the front door, shingling and painting the side of the garage, and repairing the cupola. Joanne put a great dent in the work that we have to finish in the basement
~
I installed a really cool tuna copper weathervane on the garage that I bought last year in Bar Harbor. I was waiting to install it when Ryan came home as some sort of a symbolic welcoming, but I thought that it could be a good selling point.... so up it went.
~
The Marblehead residential market is brisk, despite the national real estate doldrums, so I'm hopeful that this property sells reasonably fast.
~
There are some additional details to take care of, but I'll probably list the property next week.
~
I know that Beverly Ave. is a sacred Nanepashemet shrine, and I'm not a price gouger, so if you Peeps are of a mind to make me an offer, rest assured that I will give you a good deal.
