Snoop Mad always loves to check out the ducks in the window at Dogtown Book Store. That book to her left is owner Bob Ritchie’s Daughter’s copy of Make Way For Ducklings.
Tucked in the back of the store is a small reading area with vintage childrens books.

I saw this rare bird sighting this morning which I had not seen but once before on a Saturday one year ago. This flock invades the neighborhood in extremely tight formation within a large yellow transport. Very colorful plumage they quickly disgorge after landing and disappear along the rocky shore. I spotted them in what I can only describe as a trilegged mating ritual while calls of Alcid!, Puffin! Razorback!, Dovekie! were heard.
A tricky bunch I was able to capture three leaders as they were ready to depart. They tried to drag me onto the bus but I was able to escape. Rumor has it they might be back this afternoon and I will try to get a shot of the actual mating ritual down on the rocks.

Thanks, Joanne, for forwarding this. 🙂
There were a couple different things I didn’t realize about the Sushi at Lat 43. One that you could get it for lunch OR dinner, and Two that you could get it at the bar in the Tavern section. Every once in a while I crave sushi for lunch, now I know just where to get it. Brian Eastman the manager tells me you could even call in for it and have it ready when you get there. Sweet!

The student musicians in the Docksiders, Gloucester High School’s stage band, made their last big fund-raising push for their trip to Hawaii.
The trip to Hawaii, April 16 to 23, is not the first trip the group has taken. In the nine years the band has been together, it is given concerts throughout the Cape Ann area, and tries to take a trip every two years. The Docksiders have traveled as far as California to play at Disney Land and to Florida, where the group twice played at Walt Disney World.
It was the Docksiders’ trip to Walt Disney World two years ago that led to this excursion for the band. See Times article here.
Here’s few more for Mr. Morrison;

Amazing to me that a tidal salt water river freezes over as often as the Essex River does.

When David isn’t out covering Gloucester Sports or events for GMG he is busy at his shop Main Street Art and Antiques in the heart of beautiful Downtown Gloucester. When I snapped this photo I wasn’t sure if he was making a deal for a priceless piece of furniture or talking up one of his many lady callers. The women just love him don’t you know.
