It’s a disaster, and right now, I’m not going to do a whole lot about it.
Big Dig, South
There are no fewer than THREE big construction projects going on in my neighborhood and lucky us, we’ve learned that contractors can start work at 7 AM.
Bubble Gun
I’m not big on plastic toys, but made an exception at last night’s Hyannis street fair.

I don’t want to shower, dress, change sheets, pay bills, fight the tourons on the roads and the supermarkets, or read about the haves and have-mores that swamp the news and entertainment sections of both the print and online media.
