Billy Cundiff Day in Boston

The celebration and parade start tomorrow at City hall for Billy Cundiff, at Billy Cundiff Daynoon.

Mayor Mennino said that he thinks the estimate of Loyal Patriots fans should be in the thousands.

The Parade will start at city hall. Billy will be alone on a duck boat. The duck boat will go left on School Street, then left on Washington, then left on State Street ending back at City Hall. It will be an endless series of Left Turns.

Join the many fans of the patriots and Billy Cundiff, for what should be a great celebration.

I still cannot believe that kick, That thing ( shank) was left of Ted Kennedy.

 

 

 

M H K and the Patriots

MHK stands for Myra H Kraft, the wife of owner Bob Kraft who passed away just before the 2011 season opened.

MHK can be the only explanation for how this team is winning.

mhk  patriots

They have the worst secondary in the history of the NFL. The Patriots between poor drafting, cutting veterans, and injuries, have nothing back there. A bunch of underperforming draft picks, street free agents, and converted special teams players and wide receivers.

Manning should feast on this secondary. That is not even in question, the only question is whether Brady can come out of his coma and act like the best QB in the history of the game.

 

The Pats go as Brady goes. That gift wrapped game from the Ravens is the first time I have ever seen the Pats win a game in which Brady was awful.

Missed passes, bad reads, 4 interceptions, happy feet. I swear I was watching the reincarnation of Drew Bledsoe out there.

It is so strange, my team is going to the Super Bowl, and I have this empty feeling in my gut.

I think our only chance is devine intervention from MHK herself.

Thank you MHK for pushing Billy Cundiff’s kick (shank) to the left.

 

My God, Please tell me they are not as bad as they look?

 

Holy shit we are in trouble if they are.

 

Krap, I think those DB’s really are that bad.

 

Good Luck Pats, you need it. Please Myra, look over this collection of flotsam and Jepson.

Sahagians Jewelers Norwell Ma – Review

BEWARE !!!!!!

 

 

In my opinion These are not good people and they are disingenuous. My family bought many thousands of dollars worth of jewelry here. I sent countless guys there looking to buy jewelry for their wives.

The last thing I bought there fell apart right after I gave it to my wife.

The worst thing was:

My daughter bought her wedding rings and engagement rings here, and the marriage quickly went bad. She was promised that it was an unbelievable great deal. The price was over $5000.

After the marriage went bad, she tried to resell the ring to Sahagian’s. They dismissed her and said they would only give her 50 cents on the dollar.

The price of gold has skyrocketed since the sale. These people could have stood behind their customer, but they chose not to.

In my opinion, they are snaky conniving and unreputable.

DO NOT SHOP HERE, GO ANY PLACE ELSE FOR YOUR JEWELRY.

 

My apologies to anybody I sent there.

Barbados vacation

I just got back from a Barbados vacation. Great time, great weather, and a great hotel.

What makes anytime great and anytime fun, is the people you are with and not so much where you are. I could have fun in a phone booth with the right mates ( more on that in a minute).

First off, it is always special spending time with Joanne. There has not been enough of that lately, with work and traveling.

Second, it is awesome to make new friends. I met some great new friends/mates in Barbados. The Greens from Loughborough, and the Alvarez’s from Jersey. Great people and tons of fun. Food , drink and sun.

What I learned in Barbados:

  1. how to speak proper English
  2. How to sail
  3. How to relax

 

Check out the pictures and the videos if you like:

Retiring on my Yacht

That’s right, I am retiring. I have had enough of the corporate rat race. I have been waiting 3 years for the yacht company to finish my custom designed boat.

Check it out:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

island yacht

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes you read it right, a whole amazing island built right on a beautiful yacht. Created by UK-based yacht design company Yacht Island Designs, bringing a whole island onto a yacht.

The design as you can see is inspired by tropical islands, with huts, a pool and to top of that, a whole volcano that is sure not to erupt. Since this is a yacht, it comes packed with special VIP rooms, arcades, gym, lounges, spas and even a helipad. The volcano adds a lot of beauty to the whole look of the yacht, it also happens to have water flowing out of it onto the pool creating this amazing river complementing the whole tropical look.

The back of the yacht has a retractable beach deck where structures float on the sea making the sea accessible to swim in and of course grant access to various water activities such as wake boarding and jet-skis. The whole concept is pure genius and the result looks even better.

 

5 Reasons the Patriots lost to Pittsburgh

  1. Bill Belechick – Yes our erstwhile future hall of Fame coach, cannot pick the groceries. He is left with a pile of poop from the University of Florida, that was suggested to him by Urban meyer. Spikes, cunningham, chad jackson etc.
  2. The Pittsburgh Linebackers and Db’s mauled and beat up the receivers. They were bumping grinding, holding and ripping at them all day.
  3. The Patriot linebackers stink. Spikes and Ninkovich are slow. They are a liability in pass defense. They are OK against the run, as is the D line, but honestly who would ever run against the Pats, when you can get 10+ yards every time you throw it.
  4. The onside kick was stupid, not calling for a replay on the Gronkowski TD was wrong, and not being able to stop the Steelers on thirds down was brutal.
  5. The Pats cannot run when they know we are going to run. They can run all day when they are in a dime defense. But when the Pats need two yards, they cannot do it.

Hyatt Regency Hotel Gainey Ranch Scottsdale Az Review

I just finished a three-day stay at this supposedly high-end posh hotel.
This is not my first time here. It was awful…..
WHY?

  1. I made a reservation months ago. I was told that there were no more standard rooms. I would have to take a suite which of course for $600+ a night I did not need. It was a king bed with a rock hard couch. Sorry suite at that. I called twice to see if there were any normal reasonable rooms. They said no.I was supposedly on a waiting list. While I was there I found at least 3 people who had booked after me and got regular rooms. They swindled me.
  2. Ok now I arrive from the northeast in warm weather cloths. after traveling for 7 hours I got to the hotel at 12:30. They tell me the room is not ready. I say when and the bitch at the desk says ” we have till 4:00″   I hang around for over 3 hours. Mind you, she said i would be on a fast track. If that is fast then. whatever. I had no room, so I could not change, could not eat, and could not get in the pool area without a key. I get my key and the woman points me to the wrong end of the hotel. that really pissed me off. I later talked to the manager who could have cared less. I told her I did not want a fruit basket, or money back. I had a legit complaint, and wanted to be heard and for them to start treating guests with respect.
  3. The food lines were long, and the costs were ridiculous.
  4. the last time I stayed here I played golf and they charged me like $250 to play in what amounted to a hayfield, as they were over-seeding the course.
  5. The last thing that pissed me off, is that I got one of their black cars to go to dinner. The driver tells our party that we broke the cup holder and that he wanted $500 ( crazy right). Then he wanted $100, then he wanted $50. Then he says he is calling the cops. I said wait hold on, let me call them. He ran from the restaurant.
  6. one guy I met did not get a room at all. he had to go down the street for a night. Another guy waiting with me, had rented a very expensive casita for entertaining his guests. He had people coming at 4:30 and he got in his room at 4:00. He was embarrassed when people showed up. I will stop here there is more.

Hey I travel allot, and I cannot remember a worse experience.

don’t stay at this dump….

Huge scrotum Huge Problem

Help a brother out!

Here is a charity worth your money. There is a 47 year old man in Las Vegas, huge ball bagwho ‘s balls are too big. Girls always want to know if that bulge in your jeans is the frank or the beans. Well in this case, it is clearly the beans.

The poor bastard needs a $1,000, 000 operation to get rid of his 100 pound ball sack.

If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, contact this poor guy at

benefitballsack@yahoo.com.

I would usually say that this guy has a lot of balls asking for donations but in this case, I am sending him a few bucks.

Check out this video, and let me know how you cannot make this your favorite charity.

 


Patriots report card at the break 2011

5-1

Not bad. Great really. You could not ask for more. Except for a collapse in Buffy, where they gave away a 21 point lead, they would be undefeated.

This team is not without flaws however.

I rate the first 6 games as a B-

Coach- A-

  • He is doing a great job with what he has to work with.

Quarterback A

  • Brady is the best. he has been sharp and crafty. He would have an A+ if it were not for the int’s

Offense A-

  • Offensive line B     Mankins could be better. Connolly has done well, Waters is real good. We need Volmer back, but Solder has been a Godsend as a replacement. Light still sucks. He needs help from Mankins and the tight ends all the time
  • Running backs  B-   let’s be real. Ridley has been a nice surprise. The law firm had one good game. It would be a D if the other teams ever played the run. They give the Pats all the running room they need. but, when the other team plays the run, we have a hard time getting a yard. I am generous with this grade.
  • Tight ends A+ Gronk and Hernandez are the best. The problem is that there is no one else. Belechick should have had a crumpler type on the roster or kept Yeatman.
  • Wide Recievers B+    Welker is A+++, Branch is a B  Ocho is an F, and the rest are incompletes. Dump Ocho for Moss. I was really high on bringing in Ocho. I was wrong, dead wrong.

Defense  D-   yup they suck. getting better but they suck.

  • Defensive line.B-  I like most of these guys. Wilfolk, Hanesworth Love, Cohen. All good. Carter shows flashes. Ellis, Cunningham and Anderson  have shown nothing.
  • Linebackers D     Mayo is a stud. The other undrafted guys are what they are. Hard working guys, but just guys. Spikes is brutally bad.
  • Defensive Backs F  Kyle Arrington gets an A the rest FAIL. They all suck.

Special teams A  Gostkowski is great Mesko is great, and the kick coverage has been very good. The return teams have been poor to fair.

 

Fans  C   The regular fans get a B. The Red Seat corporate fans get an F. Those red seat fans kill the whole crowd. Too Bad really.

I look for a 12-4 finish.

Patriots game review

Wow what a game: Patriots 38 Dolphins 24

Just what I thought, well almost. I thought the Pats would win, But I was thinking more like 32-7

My thoughts on the game and the season:

 

  1. I was most interested in the O-line. I think it is a weakness. The Koppen injury is huge. That is a big hole to fill for a lot of reasons. Solder looked surprisingly good, and Light did not get Brady killed, so it was a good night. The tight ends pinched in and did a great job of helping out. Thank God Mankins is back.
  2. Brady is the team ( along with Belechick) as Brady goes, so goes the team. Nice job.
  3. Ochostinko, is ordinary, yes just an ordinary receiver. Do not expect much. Branch is ordinary too. both 3rd or 4th receivers on most teams.
  4. The corners looked good. I was surprised how good Ras I Dowling looked. aggressive and solid. McCourty is turning out to be an elite corner. Bodden back helps a lot.
  5. Does any body miss the gangbangers? Maroney , Merriwether and Butler. Their urban freewheeling style does not fit in. They can take their gold chain crips and bloods attitude some place else.
  6. Benjarvis Green Ellis is ordinary. Not the kind of guy that would excite anyone. There are tons of free agents like him. You can love him, but he is so replaceable.
  7. Danny Woodhead is a BEAST. He runs, he catches and most of all he picks up the blitz. He is turning out to be indispensable.
  8. The best part of this offense sans Brady is the tight end tandem. They are spectacular, and are going to consistently put up gaudy numbers.
  9. D-line is loaded with spunk, talent, smarts and Wlfolk. They will get better every week. Give that time and that line will be killing guys.
  10. I want more Dane Fletcher and less Guyton and Ninkovich.
  11. Do not be surprised to see Moss come in this week or next. Goodbye Edelman.
  12. I am going to get struck by lightning here, but the radio announcers for the Pats are soooo bad. poor Gino Cappeletti is a 100. He sounds terrible and has not got a clue. Please let him go gracefully, but it is time.
  13. The whole 2nd round of the 2010 draft was out. Spikes, Cunningham and Vollmer. This team has the second round curse on it.

 

San Diego will be much more of a challenge. They are good real good. take the Pats, but take the points.

Best Summer Drink Ever!

I am always looking for a new summer drink. Drinking seems to pick up this time of year. You cannot hang around a boat and not have a beverage.
I found the Best Summer Drink Ever.

Sweet Tea Vodka and spring water.

I am no huge fan flavored vodka’s, so I was reluctant to try it. I am not even a huge fan of iced tea.

BUT< this damn stuff is the best tasting drink I have ever had.

It is so simple to make.

fill the glass with ice

50% firefly Sweet Tea

50% spring water

Lemon slice

option

diet lemonade instead of the water. Makes it like an Arnold Palmer err John Daly

22 calories

no sugar

no calories

 

Make it by the pitcher

 

 

 

What could be better than this?

Careful, you can consume too much, because it tastes so good and does not taste like booze.

 

Enjoy

review of ipod nano 6th generation

nano 6th generation

Ok I have had an ipod since the first generation, and have had 5 or 6 ideations since. The ipod might be one of the greatest inventions ever.

But, the ipod gets clunky and too big to use when you run or workout. Jobs and Apple then invented a smaller version and now have the nano sixth generation.

Great piece of equipment for it size.

positives:

  1. its size
  2. capacity
  3. radio (FM)
  4. pedometer
  5. clock

Negatives:

  1. battery capacity
  2. no power button ( sleep/wake  does not work as well)
  3. It is not water proof.  I have had two and they both have shut down with limited use. both have had sweat drip into them and shut down. Apple does not support this. What do people do that run in weather? they are made to attach to you during physical activity, it does not make sense that they would die with a little sweat. Alright, I sweat a lot, but still???
  4. screen is fragile
  5. no one makes a decent case. I checked  www.otterbox.com

overall nice technology, but I would not run out and get another, only due to its limited battery and how fragile it is.

The Hop in Brant rock Marshfield Ma

Brant Rock Hop

277 Ocean Street ( next to the Venus)

Marshfield, Ma

781-536-8483

There is a new breakfast place in Marshfield in the Brant rock Section. The HOP is the vision of Drosopoulos Family.

retro breakfastI was there when the doors opened for business, and you would have thought they have been open for a year. Great service, unbelievable 50′s decor,  Very Clean and above all one of the Best breakfast’s that I have had in years.

This place is going to be a smash hit!!

They have an old jukebox that plays the oldies with some old retro tables and Marshfield Breakfastchairs. I thought I was back in the 50′s again at Grandma’s.

They are open for breakfast and lunch right now. I was always a fan of Arthur & Pat’s, but this place blows them away.

Good luck to the new owners. They have done their homework, and they look like they have the customer in mind first. The food is fabulous.

For the “BEST” breakfast on the south shore, go to the new  Brant Rock Hop in Marshfiled.

Tell them Monty sent you. I cannot wait to try their lunches.

Time for the Lemonade diet again…….

Every year for the last three years I do the lemonade diet for 7 days starting on new years.

Who wants to do it with me. It is more a cleanse than a diet, but you will lose tons of weight.

This is how it went down last year.

Join my support group.

2010 lemonade Diet

Day one:

Well it is new Years Day and I have had enough eating and drinking for awhile. At least till I go to St Martin on the 15th.

I figured out that when ever I feel shitty, it is when I   eat too much. So I am going to stop for 10 days and go on the lemonade diet.

First things first. Get on the scale I am in jeans and a tee shirt        257   OMG!!

I strip down to my birthday suit and I am only 255  whew!!   for a minute there I thought I was fat.

So I start this journey today. You basically fast. you do not eat anything. It is more a cleanse than a diet. You will lose weight, but most likely most of it will come back on when you start eating again, but it seems like if I feel better, it is a good trade off.

FYI the last time I did this, I lasted 4 days and ended up in the hospital with heart attack symptoms. They said it was not the lemonade, so let’s see if I go down again. I am hoping I make it this time. I do not believe it had anything to do with the fast.

I go to the store and I pick up the essentials.

  1. uniodized sea salt
  2. grade b maple syrup
  3. ceyenne pepper
  4. lemons

pretty simple. Mrs monty fills the basket up with nothing but temptations. She is an evil woman, how could she do this to me I think.

I sit in the big chair to watch football, all the time thinking about food and booze. It seems every commercial is about food. I am hungry, but resolute.

I make it through the whole day. The only tough part is the salt water flush. You have to mix 2 tablespoons of salt with a quart of warm water and chug it down.

And then you wait. You wait till your stomach sounds like a garbage disposal. after 45 minutes you start to gurgle and then you know the explosion is coming.

At first it is a little gas, and you sheepishly let out a little but know you have to be careful. Then you know it is time, when you think it is gas and ….

Oh shit I am shitting my pants.  so you run and run hard to the bathroom

what happens next I will save you from, but you can imagine. If you try this, set yourself up ahead of time with magazines, reading glasses, candles and incense.

end of day. I cannot wait till day two.

Day two:

I woke up feeling a little thinner. I am hungry but not bad really. Mrs Monty asks if I am eating and I tell her no way. She thinks I am a kook. She says ” how can you go from a eating and drinking machine on one day and then just stop”

I tell her no problem ( I lied)

I try to keep myself busy, as this is not a work day. I do some cleaning and I snow blow the driveway.

I am feeling a little weak and lethargic, but I am not giving up.

I start to drink water. lots of it. I am also drinking the lemonade mixture. Water is now my best friend, as is my toothbrush. You are probably wondering about the toothbrush, well with nothing to eat, that toothpaste generously applied is like apple pie ala mode. I swish it in my mouth like it was a cheese cake.

I think I am losing it a little. No coffee for two days is killing me. I need caffeine, My head is pounding. I am a 6 cup a day guy. More water is the answer.

after what seems like I drank all the water in Whitmans pond, the dam breaks and I start to pee, and pee and pee some more. I can’t stop I pee like every 15 minutes for 6 hours. It is exhausting, but I keep drinking more water.

I wonder, can you drown yourself? I think I am trying.

My bathroom is now my best friend and place of refuge. I am now noticing that I need to repaint the bathroom and that a tile is cracked. I am spending way too much time in there.

Well Day two is almost over. I just need to flush again. This salt thing is just awful. I gag iot down one more time and swear that I will never do it again. I wait for the next explosion and nothing. No rumble. no gas, no nothing. Am I cleansed I think? and then two hours later eureka, I feel something. I run to my home away from home and voila I poop again. I look in and there is not much there, but what is floating around is not for the timid.

I think tomorrow, I am going to try the laxative tea.

I cannot wait for day Three….


Lemonade Diet – Day Three

January 6th, 2010 — rants

Time to go to the gym and then work.

I get to the gym at 5:30. No coffee this morning like usual.

I feel really tired. my back hurts. What is strange though is that my sinuses are clearer than they have ever been. I can smell things that I could not smell before.

I am strangely not that hungry. I do have a strange craving for tostito chips and salsa though.

I go through the day a little lightheaded. I go in and out of lucid moments. I cannot look at another glass of water, but I crave the lemonade.

I am thinking more about food though. I am going to check my iphone app for the food network and see whats on tonight.

I have not told anybody that I am on this crazy fast but Mrs Monty. My co-workers want to know what I am having for lunch and I just say that I think I will wash the car at lunchtime. They look at me with a raised eyebrow. because usually lunch is a sacred time of day for me. A time to refuel and rejoice. I love a good lunch.

I get home from work and slump in the chair. I can only think about the salt water drink.

I decide to weigh myself. maybe I have lost weight. I get on the scale and i am 245  wow. I have lost 10 pounds. Now I feel like this might be worthwhile.

I  go to bed thinking about peanuts, boston cream pie and pizza.

I made another day. I think I need to have a token or something like they do at AA. I keep thinking that this is only 10 days out of my life. I can do it.

Day four tomorrow.

Lemonade Diet – Day Four

January 6th, 2010 — rants

Well I have made it this far, and no trips to the emergency room.

I get up to go to the gym. For the first time in a long time, I bounce out of the car and cannot wait to work out. The only thing that bugs me, is that the place is packed. All the 30 day wonders and phonies are back in the gym. I know that the place will be mine with a few of the regulars in about three weeks. We have to go through this every year.

I am doing a program call 100 pushups .com I am on day 3. After 8 weeks or so, you should be able to do 100 at a time. I can already do 30-40, but 100 is a good goal. I lift wieghts, do the cross trainer and then the treadmill. I finish with 100 cruches and I feel great.

I think I am over the hump.

Off to work, the headaches are gone and so are the back aches. I can still smell and things are looking up.

I get through the day unschaved, and I have only had a few hunger pains. Somebody actually asked me if I lost weight today ( I will pray for their eyesight)

My friend Jimmy thinks I am crazy, but that is more motivation to see this through.

Home again. I check into the bathroom. I am seeing less of it lately and I miss it a little. Maybe I will try the saltwater again.  Gross. I forgot how bad it was. I pooped out a half dozen peanut looking things and some murky substance. I am going to have to google that and see WTF it is.

I feel good and day 5 is around the corner. I am starting to think that 10 days is too much, and that 7 will do it for me. I might be breaking.. we will see.

The spousal unit had a lean cuisine for dinner and I would have I would have given her the Lexus for just one bite.

Lemonade Diet – Day Five

January 6th, 2010 — rants

I made it another day.

Am I crazy? I am starting to think I am. People say I am, maybe I am.
People have a lot of opinions about my journey to a clean system.They smugly say that you are going to gain all the weight back. I keep telling them that right now it is not about the weight loss. The best weight loss plan is weight watchers bar none. If you want to lose weight and keep it off go to WW this is not the route.

That being said, I woke up this morning and I weighed in at 238 down from 255 5 days ago ( 17 pounds). When people told me I was full of shit, I did not believe them, but now I am starting to believe them.

I had my usual workout. 100 crunches, 50 pushups, 15 minutes of light weights and an hour on the machines. This proves to me that working out does not make you lose weight, I have been working out for 30 years. It is what you eat.

I did sweat more than usual. I sweat like a GEICO insurance rep trying to explain insurance coverage ( all they want to talk about is saving you 15%) but that is another subject.

My mind is starting to wander. I am thinking about food more. I have more energy in the morning and less at night. I can’t wait to finish this and get back on schedule. The clock is going by slower every day.

FYI I am done with the salt water flush after last night. I think I am just going to drink the poopy tea. There can’t be anything left anyway. I am still wondering where it is coming from? I have not eaten even an m&m this year.

On to Day SIX

I do not know what happened on day six i must have slipped into a foodless coma and stopped writing.

This year will be better.

Try it with me….

Patriots kick Jets ASS

I was at the game last night. I am tired, hungover and hoarse.

What a game. The Pats beat the Jets in every manner. They outplayed them, they out coached them and the crowd was the 12th man. The crowd to a person never sat in their seats for one second. It was nice to see it that loud again.

Tedy Bruschi gave a great halftime speech. He was definitely one of the best Patriots ever. Not nearly the best player, but one of the best Patriots if you know what I mean. I really wish he had retired two years earlier. The last two years were sad watching his skills deteriorate so badly. He deserves all the credit he gets. He will be a New England favorite like Bobby Orr. larry Bird, and Luis Tiant. A guy that can walk the streets of New England any time and call this his new home.

The game was great. The Pats are turning this thing around. The defense looks good. Aside from their poor stats, they look good. McCourty is terrific. Injuries have not slowed this team down. Think about the injuries. Faulk,Ty Warren, Bodden, Taylor, Gostkowski, Neal. and more. These are good players we are missing.

The more I think about it, the more I think the Pats will take two Offensive lineman at the top of the draft. Their whole line becomes a free agents in the next two years. Mankins and Light this year. Please tell me that they will not resign Matt ( turnstyle) Light. I would love to see Mankins get his money.

FYI List of 2010 free agents:

Kevin Faulk, RB

Shayne Graham, K

Matt Light, OT

Logan Mankins, G

Brandon McGowan, S

Sammy Morris, RB

Quinn Ojinnaka, OT

Jarrod Page, S

Fred Taylor, RB

Tracy White, LB

Ben Jarvis green ellis ( restricted)

2011 Free Agents:

Deion Branch, WR

Dan Connolly, C

Alge Crumpler, TE

Dan Koppen, C

Gary Guyton, LB

Pats have two tough games coming up against Da Bears and the Packers. If they get through them, I see a bye and home field throughout.

Good job Pats. You have me fooled. I did not see this coming.

King street recreation facility – Hanover ma

In 2008 Hanover voters approved $1,430,000 in CPC funding to purchase about 60 acres of land on King Street with the goal of creating new recreational facilities.

The land was formally used as corn fields and for farming. It would have made a nice place for new homes, but the town had the for-site to buy it up before they put up 20 more MCMansions that people cannot afford. They would have filled them with more kids and put a bigger drain on the schools.

I have been going to this location to take walks with the dog before they even bought it. I have been going monthly since they started construction and the place is turning out great. Baseball fields everywhere, streets and roads, and space big enough to have 10 lacrosse or soccer games going at the same time.

I wish they had this place when my kids were growing up in town. They seemed to have planned this well, as they have a well and irrigation for all the fields, and the aforementioned parking.

I see this place as a destination for large youth sporting events for Soccer, Lacrosse and baseball.

If you have not seen the development yet, take a ride in and check it out. Park your car and walk around. It takes about 15 minutes to make your way around the whole facility.

Too bad I plan on moving soon from Hanover. They finally have a new high school, a new police station, a new fire station, refurbished transfer station, remodeled elementary and middle schools. Come to think about it, I guess that is why I am moving. I have no kids to go to these schools, or use these facilities, but I pay over $10,000 in taxes to the town. Just my luck a day late and a dollar short.

Enjoy these new and beautiful facilities. Hanover is a perfect place to bring up your kids.

dina's homemade pasta

Take it from me, this is the BEST sub and pizza shop on the South Shore. Believe me when I tell you I have been to them all. I have, but I always go back to Dina’s ( formally Yianni’s )

As a matter of fact I go there 4 times a week.

The food is delicious and homemade. The place is clean and the service is fast.

The family that runs this place is as nice as they come. They have daily specials, as well as the usual pizzas and subs.

Attention to detail and quality service is the hallmark at Dina’s.

If you are not happy, tell them they will make you another. The portions are huge. You will never leave there hungry. I promise!!!

I use two rules to know if a place is really good. One, do they have regulars, and two, are there a lot of fat guys in the place. And besides me, there are plenty.

Give it a try.
