June is here

Look, June finally shows up and so does the nice weather. Coincidence? I think not! Now lets work on our tans.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Peggy O'Niels looks forward to Chrissy showing up more and more each year.
2. Jeffrey can not bounce back like he used to. The kid is working on a 4 day hangover.
3. Another year, another Dot day:

4. Congrats to Uncle Willie on another Dot Day bowl off win, beating MikeyT by 2 pins and me by 3.
5. I heard that divorces come in fours. So here is to all my family and friends going through rough patches.
6. I had heard rumors of Buffalo Wild wings in Brockton being a train wreck but I was there Friday and they seem to be on top of their game.
7. If you need a MPC 7 shirt before the actual day, then make plans to meet up before next Monday. I am away all next week.
8. We have all been there, bombed liking everyones shit on FB. Hey Drunk happens.
9. What do you do when a contractor has tools stolen from in front of your house?
10. Some days I just don't give a fuck.
11. This walking cough/cold/chest congestion is going around. I can not seem to kick it.
12. Low fat cheese is garbage. I would rather use less regular cheese or no cheese. GARBAGE!
13. Now Chrissy is trying to work out going to Austin City limits music festival. He is working the birthday angle with his wife.  ITS EFFING PEARL JAM ON YOUR BIRTHDAY - ENOUGH SAID!
14. This may be the 1st summer in 10 years that I didn't have a wedding to go to. 2014 the year of Hope!
15. The older I get the more I realize its all the little things in life that make you smile and all those smiles add up to making your happy.
16. You guys all know I take the day after Dot day off its like my own holiday. So suck it, that the blog wasn't up yesterday.
17. The turn out doesn't seem to be as high in past years for the MPC7. Spread the word. I mean we are drinking for a cause.
18. There is nothing better than a day off and not doing a fucking thing. The biggest decision you have for the day is what movie you should watch when you get out of bed and move ya ass to the couch.

Thanks. I will try to blog next week but I will be in a training. Maybe Chrissy would like to give an insight on things he learned.

Its June Already

I didn't get around to things I learned this weekend yesterday because it was the day after Dot Day and everyone knows that I take that day off.

Lets get to this. I think I learned these things this weekend:

1. Supah P is a Jack of all trades.
2. Building a wall is a long arduous pain in the ass but all worth it in the end(I just need some cap pieces):



 3. Towelman is still undefeated:

4. Welchie and his team won their version of the Ryder cup over in Ireland...Slainte!
5. There is just something with TK and backing up in Quincy.
6. You know you are talking to an old timer when they say things like "I used to go with her".
7. Chrissy does not like the Navy. He hates Seamen.
8. Congrats to Steven F. Whitley on his 4th consecutive Dot Day bowl off victory. He pulled it out with back to back marks on the 9th and 10th frames.
9. Sometimes you just gotta go with it and let things work themselves out.
10. I have never seen a bar clear out as fast as I did when the B's lost in OT on Saturday.
11. I would say Dot day was a huge success:

Dorchester Day

So Dorchester Day is fast approaching. Only 10 days away!!!

For those of you who may not know what Dorchester Day is let me fill you in...

The 1st Sunday in June, every year without fail, there is a parade down Dorchester Avenue. This celebration is to bring the community together and to celebrate cultural diversity. Then theres always a stop at the local watering hole and then Doyles cookout. Dot Day = An all day drinking event!!

Eight years ago, as a goof, my friends and I started an early morning bowling tournament , kind of a way to shake off the hangover from the night before. This has now evolved into the Dot Day Bowl Off - with 15-20 of us competing for trophies and prizes. And as we get older people are starting to bring their children.

Last year's, and 3 time Dot Day Bowl Off Champ, Billy Flaherty will not be competing this year so the title will be passed. Will it be Mike(2 time winner)? Or Chrissy(also 2 time winner)? Or maybe a new comer to the festivities? GET READY TO RAISE THE TROPHY!!!

1. We bowl and after we crown a winner in the Bowl OFF
2. We will go to the bar to watch the parade, get drunk, play Keno and listen to the bands(oh yeah the bar has bands set up for the day)
3. We go to Doyles - more drinking and maybe some food
4. Go home and pass out

Hope everyone can make it!!

Origins of Dorchester Day The Dorchester Historical Society inaugurated Dorchester Day in the year 1904 to observe the 274th anniversary of the settlement of Dorchester. Over 200 citizens of Dorchester gathered in a tent on Savin Hill to celebrate the occasion with a band concert and addresses on the crest of Savin Hill on June 25, 1904. The Society named the celebration "Dorchester Day." Reverend Peter Ronan urged the duty of cooperating with the Dorchester Historical Society to make Dorchester Day an institution to be celebrated every year.

"Among the visitors to hill on that occasion was the Hon. John F. Fitzgerald and his family, who had recently removed to Dorchester. This was his first visit to Savin Hill, and he was so struck with the beautiful surroundings and magnificent view from the hill that he then declared that, if he was ever elected Mayor of Boston, he would favor the securing of the hill for a park, and in the fall, when he became a candidate for the mayoralty, he made similar promises, which he made good on July 26, 1907, when he signed the bill which made a park of Savin Hill ..."

In the second year, 1905, the occasion was celebrated with parades, orations, a sailing regatta and athletic games.

Over time Dorchester Day has become an occasion of home-coming for those originally from Dorchester (OFD), of the revival of old memories and of a great parade following the length of Dorchester Avenue from Lower Mills to Columbia Road. The activities associated with Dorchester Day have multiplied with a separate celebration of Landing Day and with another occasion for the choice of Little Miss Dorchester. The parade, which now has its own organizing committee unaffiliated with the Dorchester Historical Society, occurs on the first Sunday in June.
