My View of Life on the Dock
This is the scene yesterday morning, a full day after the house blew up. There are still firemen there. What a scary thing to think. That out of the blue your house could just blow up through no fault of your own.
Just get home from whatever job you have ready to finally relax and BOOM!

SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK [R] (2008 * USA * 124 minutes)
TUES., JAN. 27 @ 7:15PM; FRI., JAN. 30 @ 5:00PM & 7:15PM; SAT., JAN. 31 @ 7:15PM; SUN., FEB. 1 @ 1:30PM; WED., FEB. 4 @ 7:15PM; FRI., FEB. 6 @ 5:00PM; SAT., FEB. 7 @ 2:45PM
For theater director Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman), life catering to suburban blue-hairs at the local regional theater in Schenectady, New York is looking bleak. His wife (Catherine Keener) has left him to pursue her painting in Berlin. His therapist (Hope Davis) is better at plugging her best-seller than she is at counseling him. A new relationship with the alluringly candid Hazel (Samantha Morton) has prematurely run aground. And a mysterious condition is systematically shutting down each of his autonomic functions, one by one. Worried about the transience of his life, he leaves his home behind. He gathers an ensemble cast into a warehouse in New York City, hoping to create a work of brutal honesty. Co-starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michelle Williams, Tom Noonan, Emily Watson and Dianne Wiest. Written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, screenwriter of “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind” and “Being John Malkovich.”
“To say that Charlie Kaufman’s ‘Synecdoche, New York’ is one of the best films of the year or even one closest to my heart is such a pathetic response to its soaring ambition that I might as well pack it in right now.” -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Here’s Pete Mondello with some repaired buoys. The thing about the Mondello boys is that they never ever stop. They always are doing something weather it be tinkering on the boat or repairing traps or buoys. They never stop. Talk about energy. It’s just go-go-go.

Watch for next week’s contest on Monday at noon! And remember if you have kids, visit my blog Flapping like a Haddock !
Huge sections of the house were strewn all about. What a huge blast to create so much damage. Thanks to Mike Lindberg for the photos.

Would you just look at the vinyl siding peeled away from the next door neighbor’s house? I’m guessing we’re lucky more people weren’t injured.

Last week’s winner was Zanny from Maine. She received a gift certificate from the Black Swan. Congratulations again!
Zanny wrote,” …I knew taking the Short Cut through that cemetery and checking out every single headstone would pay off some day! I’d like to thank My Mom, for telling me not to do that. Mrs Leslie Harris, my 4th Grade Teacher, who taught all of us Essex Kids a very detailed History of Essex, Joey, for making a fun blog to check into every day, and my neighborhood kids, for thinking that John Wise’s Grave looks like Aslan’s Table…”
This week the prize is a $25 gift certificate from Bob Ritchie at the Dogtown Book Shop, 132 Main St. downtown. All sorts of books…used and unusual. The shop reminds me of the old Magnolia Library. It’s very cool. Thank you, Bob!
Good luck everyone!
Joe Aiello is truly one of Gloucester’s finest.
