A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

What would MacGyver do ?

Check out a book that a very funny guy i work with contributed to...makes a great stocking stuffer!

What I'm reading - Fiddler's Green

"The greatest mystery concerning the State of Maine's Moosepath League is that its members involved themselves with so many adventures and contributed so significantly to the solutions of several celebrated riddles, and yet are relatively unknown to the public at large."

Good Wine

Philosophy
St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, produces big, bold, full-bodied wines that deliver on flavor. Each wine is produced from 100% hand-picked Sonoma County fruit and is a direct expression of our winemaking philosophy of “maximum extraction, minimal intervention."

Where is the outrage ?

File away as two great tastes that DON'T taste great together:

You would think two of my favorite things, Jimi Hendrix music and Victoria's Secret TV commercials, would make me want to stand up and cheer. But it didn't...

Maybe Hendrix's estate is trying to make this list:

Scarborough Land Trust

Local group that I'm going to work with to help make sure they don't "pave paradise to put up a parking lot."

I like what they are doing because of the "active conservation" of the land that they promote. Not all development is evil and land should be protected but also enjoyed by as many as possible by allowing biking, hiking, hunting etc.

Word puzzles - Jumble

Often, this is my favorite part of reading the newspaper. Not so much the puzzle or the solution but the ability to find the time to do it.

Blue

A nice place to grab a pint and listen to some tunes. Being Portland, always an eclectic mix of customers.

What I'm reading - Cannery Row

I'm reading this one again. I am suprised again in Steinbeck's clarity of writing. He (and his characters) say what they mean and mean what they say. It's refreshing in a world of spin and false promises.

If you can't get out of it, get into it!

SI- Fan value at the ballpark

.....well at least Fenway is in front of Shea. So what if that's the ONLY team they actually rate better than.

The numbers tell the tale. A night at Fenway will knock you back $400 at least.

Vacationland

So far, since Mid-July, we have seen and recorded 22 different out of state license plates in Scarborough. Contest runs until Columbus day weekend.

Imagine - John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Crikey...RIP
