We are going to be hearing a lot about this guy in the next few days, and that’s awesome. Here’s the statement made by Boston Pride:

“Boston Pride has formally invited Jason Collins to be a Marshal in the 2013 Boston Pride Parade, held June 8th. Boston Pride is proud that our annual celebration helped to inspire Jason Collins to make his groundbreaking decision to come out. We’re also very pleased that he has announced he’ll be marching in this year’s Parade – we’re looking forward to it!”

We don’t know yet if he’s accepted, but somehow I think we can bet on it!

MMMMadness …..March Madness Or Mustache March

Its that first week of March, I thought I would take time and give a couple of reasons why I am excited about March:

1. The NCAA Basketball Tournaments start! These Gents play for the love of the game and I love this game! ( with that said I used to play sports as well as a cheerleader in HS and college. )

2. Spring is coming! The birdies are gonna chirp and the flowers bloom and this confounded snow will melt!

3. St. Patty’s day- Green Beer and Black n’ Tans.  Best part …my Creme de Menthe cupcakes. Yumm-o and a Lime Gimmlet Martini

4. Mustache and Mullets !? Priceless =)

Stay tuned, I’ll be posting updates as soon as we know more.
