Minglewood on Rogers St. is a favorite go-to especially during the week. And if they offer a $10 Serenitee discount, well that just makes is all the better. Such was the case after the storm earlier last week. We were greeted like old friends and sat at the bar. We ordered sushi (buy one get one half off on Tuesdays) and wings. It was that kind of night. You can mix up the sauce for your wings so I got garlic parm and orange chili this time (Wednesday is 50 cent wing night). For the sake of boosting this post a little, we also ordered the chocolate chip cookie sundae. Service was excellent (as always thanks Ryan); the food very satisfying and the atmoshere *chef’s kiss*. AND we got a Serenitee discount! Boom! Thank you once again Minglewood!

A single dose of CBD reduces blood pressure in healthy volunteers in a randomized crossover study. A study by “The Journal of Clinical Insight”
BACKGROUND. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a nonpsychoactive phytocannabinoid used in multiple sclerosis and intractable epilepsies. Preclinical studies show CBD has numerous cardiovascular benefits, including a reduced blood pressure (BP) response to stress. The aim of this study was to investigate if CBD reduces BP in humans.
METHODS. Nine healthy male volunteers were given 600 mg of CBD or placebo in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study. Cardiovascular parameters were monitored using a finometer and laser Doppler.
RESULTS. CBD reduced resting systolic BP (–6 mmHg; P < 0.05) and stroke volume (–8 ml; P < 0.05), with increased heart rate (HR) and maintained cardiac output. Subjects who had taken CBD had lower BP (–5 mmHg; P < 0.05, especially before and after stress), increased HR (+10 bpm; P < 0.01), decreased stroke volume (–13 ml; P < 0.01), and a blunted forearm skin blood flow response to isometric exercise. In response to cold stress, subjects who had taken CBD had blunted BP (–6 mmHg; P < 0.01) and increased HR (+7 bpm; P < 0.05), with lower total peripheral resistance.
CONCLUSIONS. This data shows that acute administration of CBD reduces resting BP and the BP increase to stress in humans, associated with increased HR. These hemodynamic changes should be considered for people taking CBD. Further research is required to establish whether CBD has a role in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.
Yesterday Gussy Sanfilippo and Billy Edmonds swung by the dock along with Billy’s son Kyle and FOB (friend of the blog) Frank Ciolino’s son Joey.
We took a row around the South Channel, had a quick race on the dories and talked to Gus about predictions for fish prices with the June 1st fishing grounds area opening. The first part of the videos will air this morning at 8AM
On Wednesday, the clouds rolled in and looked dark. By the time the sunset another surprise by mother nature. A beautiful pink, red glow appeared. The snow adds to the beauty.
Lucky to live here.

When the snow comes, the sledding begins. As I was watching the kids snowboarding, sledding and just having fun, makes me want to get on a flying saucer and take it down the hill. Notice the little one it pink being pulled by a sibling.

In case you are from away and are wondering what it looked like about a day after the storm ended, here you go. I saw a report that we got 27” but at my house it seemed closer to 18-20”. Regardless……
