Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I will be with my wife's family at a Time Share in Hancock, Mass from June 18 (late) till June 25 (early). June 20 we'll be busy, but am looking for an afternoon or evening to hook up with some of the Inmates for some golf and cigars.

Anybody interested?
Any of those days better than others?

Let's figure something out!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I guess I can see how I rate. Where are all the massholes?

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

cut it out...you know we care but uhm...where the heck is Hancock, Ma?


nevermind I googled it...brother let some of the Albany boys know since you are closer to their neck of the woods :tu

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I might be able to do something on Tuesday June 22nd.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

:r:r...I had to google that too...I never heard of Hancock until now.

It looks like the last town west before NY.

I've been debating on setting up a little fishing trip out that way...maybe I can work into those days. Interested in some fishing and a smoke if I could make out one of those days?

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

:tpd:

Might as well be NY.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

TRicker is the only guy I know who prob knows that area since he's in Pittsfield...I mean that is soooo far west, people are NY fans :td

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

:r

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I have tix to the Sox/Dodgers on Sat, 6/19; otherwise that day would have been perfect.

When I get back into the office on Monday, I'll check the calendar and see if I can take off a day that week. If so, I'd love to shoot out your way and maybe play a round of golf with you Todd. We could probably smoke a cigar or two as well. :D

I'll keep you posted.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

It is way west, near NY - true.

It'd be nice if a few could get together and hit the links. Of course, if I just get to go fishing with Jim, that'd be cool too. I haven't fished that end of the country in, ummm, 10 years. Used to fish Squantz pond quite a bit, but that is in the west end of CT. Caught quite a few brown trout there.

Whatever day I get together with CA BOTL, it should probably be relegated to one day - maybe *ALL* day, but just one - as I should spend most of my time with the extended family (her parents, sister & family, brother & family all gathered in 4 condos).

Let me know whatever. We do have a bit of time to plan it. Maybe mini-herf?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

You're about 90 minutes from Agawam Rev, you can get some canoli @ Moe's shop first and then herf at Azon with the Massholes.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Never heard of Hancock, MA. I was thinking Hancock St. in Quincy, lol...

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

He could get his nails and hair done! :r

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Todd, I might be able to do something on the 20th, but its all dependent on whats happening at the bakery.

Lets talk a little closer to the date and see if we can lose some golf balls and grab a cigar or three.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I might be in depending on many factors... :mh

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

He's busy on the 20th, Moe. You probably are too as it's Father's Day.

:rolleyes:

:D

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Golf could be fun.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

For me, golf could be painfully frustrating, and possibly end up in jail time. :D

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

But it would still be fun for the rest of us. :D

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Thats what I get for reading Todd's post too quickly :bh

Actually I will be busy that day, Italy is playing New Zealand in the World Cup and we will be hosting a party at the Springfield bakery if anybody is interested.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

True...you guys could get in some golf and a show....as long as "show" means watching me gettting tazered by the police because I snapped and threw my clubs in the drink and run off like a mad man. :D


I'm down. :tu

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Subscribing for more info. I'd need to wait until closer to know but it's not that bad of a drive from CT.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Umm, if we golf, you can be my caddie? Or, um, drive the golf cart?

Of course, you could just play and not take it too seriously. ;)

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

If I can make it..driving the cart is all I can do, Miss Daisy!

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I'm just joking anyway...I don't take anything seriously...I just suck at golf. :D

We'll cross that bridge when the time comes...I'm still trying to work out that weekend (weekends tend to be wedding time :td)

Maybe a little "Indy 500" style with golf carts?? :tu:r

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Sure Moe, I'll wear my Zidane shirt. That will be okay right? ;):r

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Of course! Zidane is a national hero in Italy... his idiocy helped Italy hoist the trophy for a 4th time :r:r

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Moe will wear his Matterazi shirt.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Oy, vey.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Don't you be taking my phrases!! :r

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Don't be a putz! :D

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Oh yeah, Pauline's brother also enjoys a cigar (he'll be there). And her sister's hubby will also be there, not a cigar smoker, but he enjoys golf. We should probably include them as well.

Peace of the Lod be with you.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Fixed that for ya, buddy!

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Thanks!

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Thought I'd revive this thread for purposes of setting a date for gathering in Hancock (or thereabouts).

I am leaving here on 6/13 on a Catechetical Retreat, returning home in the late afternoon of the 16th. I will be leaving for MA on the 17th. During those dates I will not have internet access. I hope to have it after arriving in Hancock on the 18th.

I'd like to have some plans in place before the 13th - if possible.

On June 20, the family already has plans. We could do the 19th or another day from the 21 - 24.

There is Skyline CC http://www.skyline-cc.com/ in Hancock if that is amenable.

Or, other suggestions?

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Would love to smoke a cigar with you Todd. Not a golfer though

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

bump

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I know I am free on the 22nd.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I am suggesting golf, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Even if you don't golf, I am guessing they may let you come along with us. You can be an extra set of eyes to help me watch my errant shots to that I might find my golf balls in the woods.

That's OK with me, but I'll be on vacation. Will others be able to get away on a Tuesday? Might it be such that we golf in the late afternoon and hook up for an evening of food, cigars and beverages?

Or, maybe just that latter and forget the former?

What are the thoughts of others.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

The 22nd is good for me too.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I'll check work schedules -- maybe I can take a half a day and meet up with you guys late in the afternoon.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

wow, I grew up in Pittsfield and Richmond (right next to Hancock), wish I could join you. If you have any questions of where to go while there, let me know. Go to Teo's Hotdogs in Pittsfield.. get 6 with everything. Trust me.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Vin, I am truly hoping that you can make it. Is there another day that is better? Maybe the others can make it that day too?

I don't even know what to ask. Is there a cigar shop, tobacconist, brew pub nearby?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

I'm going to do my darndest, Todd. I have a couple managers on vacation that week, so I can't make definitive arrangements at this point. I say pick a day, and I will do everything I can to be there -- even if it's just for a couple hours in the evening.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

unfortunately there is nothing, but if you are going to be in the town of Hancock itself, the onyl place to go is Jiminy Peak, its a ski-resort that is open all year. http://www.jiminypeak.com/accounts/69/homepage/

bring a lot of smokes...You will not find a good store anywhere around there.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Do you work that Saturday, 6/19? What about the rest of you - is that date good?

Should we move the party a bit east - closer to Beantown?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Bump for the morning Masshole crew.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Unfortunately:

My schedule that day is screwy: I have to bring my son into Logan early AM, back to Maynard, then bring Grace into Boston for some trade show so we don't end up with two cars for the baseball game that starts @ 4. I could conceivably get out to Worcester in the evening if anyone wanted to plan something for Saturday night, but that's a helluva' ride for you, Todd, and WE should be making the effort to see you (IMHO).

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

OK, what we have so far is the 22nd.

What are we going to do, and at what time? It looks like Vin can be there for late afternoon festivities. Should we look at golfing somewhere like 12:30 or 1:00 and then lounging somewhere?

Skyline CC looks like a decent course - http://www.skyline-cc.com/index.php

Did some looking on line for a cigar friendly place for a beverage and/or meal. No sites state anything about smoking policies. I sent a note to http://patricksinpittsfield.com/index.html as it looks cool, to ask if they are cigar friendly.

Do you have suggestions?

Let's get times and activities squared up.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Will be in Hancock, MA
 

Tenative: :wo

I have put myself in for leaving the office at 1pm on 6/22 -- that should put me in the Pittsfield area around 3:30 or 4.

With my staff on vacation, this can change in an instant, but I'm working on getting things organized so I can make this happen.
