Weekend Warriors

At Bev Rec, we never stop working. Weekends are no exception. On Sunday, Bruce and I (oh, and the Honorable Mayor Bill Scanlon) were judges for the Beverly Dog Park Spring Bone-Anza Event. We had the difficult task of judging two-dozen captivating canines on their friendliness, behavior and spiffed-up attire. It was tons of fun and it raised lots of money for the up and coming Beverly Dog Park!

School Daze

Results from last week's poll are in... your favorite gummy candy is Sour Patch Kids (57%) with Traditional Gummi Bears in second place (28%) and Sour Patch Kids Fruits in third (14%). I know, it doesn't add up to 100%, but that's the way Blogger calculated it!


The NEW POLL is in the same place, to the right, bottom of the green box. Let us know what YOU think of standardized tests!

It’s a Pot Boiler

Some days are wonderful, full of sunshine and daffodils, pleasant conversation, good deeds and thin mints. Other days are downright dismal, like the week some of we Bev Rec-ians are experiencing.

Bruce and I had challenging phone conversations yesterday and guess what, they're not resolved! We have to have MORE! It’s times like these I must remember to be more like Barack Obama; calm, cool and collected. It’s not easy, so I decided to print out a picture of the 45th president and stick it to my window… Whew… that’s better.


Josh is hard at work, as usual, painting and tidying up the place. One of the round windows for the Carriage House came in and now he’s painting it. Be careful with that, Joshie, it costs a fortune!


Tomorrow we’re celebrating the Red Sox (pooh-pooh, they are so stinky) with a cookout. Burgers, dogs, pasta salad, the works! If you have a couple bucks and an appetite, come join us!

The new Special Event Coordinators, Jocelyn Cassola and Nick Doig just handed in the schedule of events for summer 2011. I won’t reveal anything yet, but its chock full of new and loveable, fun stuff. More info on that in a few weeks.

Interviews are coming up! Candidates, wear a nice outfit, spritz your tongue with Binaca and get ready for 30 minutes of intense questioning. Nah, it’s not that intense, but we do take interviews very seriously and there is a lot of competition, so come to your appointment ready to impress us!

We Pity the April Fool

I'm typing this blog entry from West Palm Beach, Florida where I'm spring breaking! Cowabunga, dudes! Sorry to hear about snow in Massachusetts, here it is a balmy 74° at 9:45am. I heard MTV is moving Spring Break coverage HERE tomorrow, so I plan find them and try to meet Pauly D and Snoop! Think Stella will be embarassed to see her Mom dancing in the Spring Break pool with sweet Snooki? Happy April Fool's Day!


On a serious note, today is Crock Pot Friday and we're celebrating the Red Sox home opener today with lasagna. Go Sox and go Italian food!

Let's catch up on Bev Rec in pictures, starting with Stella in her St. Patty's Day/Beatles outfit...


Now check out the first floor of the office as Josh renovates...



We won a Dunkin's Fun Run from North Shore 104.9! Thanks to the Manchester Dunks, this morning we're enjoying a free coffee and donut breakfast. Strawberry frosted, all the way.

Polar Plunge this weekend... at least it looks like February out there!

Hold It Against Me

Skev came in for his interview today, dressed to the nines...


Has anyone out there heard the new Britney album? I'm addicted to it.

More info on interviews and supervisor jobs this afternoon and this week. Sorry it's taking so long, we are SUPER busy over here. Obviously.

L-O-V-E

Hello Blogfans! It’s been so long since we rapped at ya, but lots to do with so little time in the work day. Here's a summary of the last two weeks in Bev Rec-dom…

Bruce and Joscelyn went to the MRPA Annual Conference in Hyannis. We attended educational sessions, networked with colleagues and attended meetings. A good time was had by all and even more noteworthy, the van made it all the way there and back. It actually wasn’t until last week that the van endured another attack by grimy vandals. You get back threefold what you put out, criminals.


St. Patrick’s Day was observed by the Bev Rec staff with green clothes and cupcakes. I ate corned beef and cabbage for dinner that night. Didn’t bother getting a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake, after consuming a way less than perfect specimen last month.

Marco and Regan worked at the Hamilton-Wenham Kids Fair, representing our camps, despite the fact that all the fair details never made it to them. Thanks for figuring it out!

We had a Crock Pot Wednesday last week, dining on Italian Wedding Soup. It was followed by Leftover Thursday. We plan on celebrating the Red Sox home opener this Friday with Crock Pot Lasagna.



Interviews of new supervisors have commenced and contracts will be sent tomorrow. New Playground Director, Tykes Director and Special Event Coordinators, will be crowned. Thanks to all who expressed interest, sorry there aren't actual crowns.

A BHS Sports Hall of Famer himself, Bruce attended the 2011 induction dinner at the Danversport last week. Someone remembered that his name is kind of featured in a Peter Frampton song.

The Skev Report – Skev Montague has been elusive, but made a grand re-appearance this morning. He has a new sparkle in his eye and a new spring in his step, and no, it’s not because he already has Red Sox tickets! Tutoring is almost at an end and I’m sad, because I learned a lot. Skev and I talked about this year’s Coachella lineup, Netflix vs. Redbox, the movie “Hamlet 2”, trivia and his upcoming trip to a local ski resort where he doesn’t plan to ski.

Josh has been so hard at work, down in the Carriage House and on the first floor of the office. Here's a sample of the new paint job on the floor, alongside the old paint...


Josh remarked that he “attacks” female prey and asked me to post this, “You are either in the Subaru or out of it.” I, for one, am in it.

The results of the last poll show that 8% of you litter and 91% don't. That's enough, stop throwing your stuff on the ground. NEW POLL! Same location...

Interviews of prospective employees will begin just before and over April vacation. Get your best clothes dry-cleaned and practice your most un-nervous faces.
