Hello my name is

Hello, my name is Don. This is my blog.


This is my fourth attempt to infiltrate the blog world. One previous attempt worked very well but I lost interest. Two others exist:

• Bawstin Sports Pundit
• DEM photography blog

I'm a married dad with two daughters, living just north of Boston. I consider myself a simple guy. I don't want much out of life other than happy and healthy kids, a world series championship every so often, Patriots season tickets, no debt, and a house that I can someday entertain my big family in. Most of those wishes are attainable, but life does get in the way most of the time.

I'm a long-time PR professional (not enough time to discuss what PR is because for the most part, people just don't get it). I used to be a reporter for the Boston Globe until I realized that I eventually had to make a living and pay off my student loans. I commute to work everyday (another sore subject at times). I live a very simple life and am an even-keeled sort of fella.

The title of this blog refers to my stature. I'm a big dude. I could be playing O-Line for the Pats or at least a good blocking tight end. Most of my friends and family call me big guy - thus the title (and because all other slick names I came up with were taken by other bloggers).

So, here I am, on a Monday night, creating yet another blog that I will more than likely ignore from time to time. This is meant to be a place to rant about society, politics (when I'm in the mood), cool stuff I've found on the web, technology (I'm a tech geek at heart), food, beer, my neighborhood, work, my profession, etc. Basically, I'll cover everything with the exception of sports and photography.

I may from time to time, piss people off (not that I have high expectations of actually having a following because after all, there are probably a million other blogs out there just like this one).

For those that will/have stopped by, thanks (even it was by mistake).
