FLAB FRIDAY!

Flab is the new fab.

“No need to lose the beer belly, fellas: Women are lusting after dudes with “dad bods” — a little extra gut around the middle.

“(It shows) you love life but also have the good sense to not let yourself completely go,” says Marie Dugo, a 26-year-old marketing manager from the Upper East Side. “You can take them to family parties and eat cake together.”

Ladies love guys who put the focus on fun, not physique, saying they’re friendlier, more mature and less narcissistic.

“He would come across as a fun, goofy guy not stuck on himself,” said Diane Hunt, 50, of Jersey City.

The love is spreading across the country, and even the world, with women as far away as Scandinavia cherishing the chub.

“Looking too fit can come across as self-centered,” said Dothe Lodberg, 22, from Denmark.

And guys certainly aren’t complaining.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE

From Here To There Video Zen

Trying out a sj4000 HD Action Cam. It’s a cheap GoPro Knock off. Good enough for me. Quality of video is good.

Same size as the GoPro. On this video I forgot to take the pre-mask off the lens. DOH! You can see it on the right side of the video in the side view mirror.

“From Here To There”

Just a trial video.

05/15/20,015 🙂

Filmed from my Driveway to Wheeler St. then to Washington St. and then to Lane’s Cove.

You can click on the settings cog wheel to speed it up.

At about the 12 minute 22 second mark I  drop off the “Art Rock”

Corliss Art Rock Found

Posted on by capeannpainter

The “Art, Rock” I left at Corliss landing was found by Nathan and his Daughter.

A note from Nathan;

“Paul,
 
What your doing is pretty cool. I’ve lived in Gloucester my entire life and only left to attend college. We just bought a house that I’ve been tirelessly working on for over a year now. I brought my now wife; to the Fisherman’s Memorial Park when we were 16 years old thinking it was the best, most picturesque and scenic point in all of our Island city and now we live there.
 
My daughter and I go to the Corliss Landing about 3-4 times a week before I drop her off at the Riverview Preschool.

I can’t tell you how excited she was to see the rock sitting there with the artwork on it. She was even happier when I told her that I think it was OK to take it home.
 
I don’t have a picture of her with the art rock but I do have these photo’s from today’s gorgeous morning.
 
I see that from the website you may be at least familiar with where I live and maybe if you’re in the neighborhood someday inspiration may strike, if not I could toss you a cup of coffee or a beer.
  Thanks again,
 Nathan”
