Boston sports teams, current events, pop culture, music, cocktails, telling people I used to play rugby, monkeys, and anything near the water.
Pretty much anyone who can speak his or her opinion with honesty, humility, and open mindedness. Oh, if you have a monkey or access to monkeys I will be your friend forever. Or at least as long as you have the monkey.

My grandfather. Scottish immigrant son who moved to Chelsea (MA), became a Sargent in the Chelsea PD, and ultimately Mayor of the City. He was a man that men wanted to be like and women wanted to be with. Plain and simple there was no bullshit about him. RIP grandpa.
