Patrick Doud Will Be Signing His Book Sunday At The Bookstore Of Gloucester
Patrick Doud Will Be Signing His Book Sunday At The Bookstore Of Gloucester, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Patrick Doud stopped by the dock yesterday to talk about his latest published book The Hunt For The Eye Of Ogin.
Look for the video interview tonight and attend the book signing Sunday March 21, 3PM at the Bookstore of Gloucester.
It’s funny about interviews. Sometimes I have little to no time to prepare for them and they turn out great and sometimes I prepare like crazy and they fall flat. I’m beginning to think that I do better when I don’t prepare because I’m terrified that the interview will fall flat so my awareness and questioning ability must kick into hyperdrive. When Patrick pulled into the driveway yesterday I didn’t really have a clue in the world about what I would fill an interview about other than knowing that his book had just been published. As it turns out I feel like we get to know a little about Patrick, what he likes about Gloucester, The bookstore of Gloucester and the interview went pretty well IMO.
Look for the interview tonight in any case.

Spring
Home with the windows open listening to the birds chirping and watching people walking to the beach. So I decide to go for a ride and see what going on in Gloucester on this early spring day. At Stage Fort Park, I found kites in the air, the GHS Baseball team getting ready for their 2010 season, back to the car and over to Fuller school and the GHS Girls Lacrosse team is preparing for their season with a new coach fresh off the college fields, Coach Barker bring new enthusiasm to the field.
Back to the car again, off to GHS and I find the Boys Lacrosse team starting there season with a good practice and Coach Dominick taking the boys thru the paces. Time to head home and over at the Little League field are a few who cant wait for the season to begin. What a great day in Gloucester!

Silver King Lodge (Costa Rica)
I had the opportunity to visit and take photographs of the guests and their catches.
Silver King Lodge in Costa Rica, is owned by Larry Costa, and Operated by Roseanne (Ercolani) Cody from Gloucester.
It is located on the mouth of the Rio Colorado, minutes away form the best Tarpon fishing . Each day I would go out in a photo boat with an experience guide, and rush to each catch, and capture the event. At then end of stay the guests received a CD with their photos. Each night I would set up my computer, and run a slide show of the catches of the day, in the bar. |What an experience!

Julie Geary’s Lamb Shank Video
Since Julie Geary has been in the catering business that her mother started out of their home in Magnolia she has learned many tricks and techniques for getting the most flavor from her food – and when she wants to the most bang for the buck. She loves to share that knowledge with people and does so here with this delicious recipe for cooking a lamb shank that is so tender the meat will fall off of the bone. The secret is to braise, cook in the proper liquids and slowly simmer on the stove or in the oven for a few hours. It is a good recipe for a long, cold, rainy afternoon. Watch her do it here.

Sandy Bay Solstice Submitted To The GMG Flickr Group Pool By Thomas Philbrook
Thomas Philbrook Writes-
This is the view from our deck above Front Beach in Rockport — stitched together from three shots. We get to watch Summer thunderstorms whip across Sandy Bay from west to east. This is one of those storms last year. I confess to adding the schooner on the right — but this is pretty much the way it looked. Cross my heart.
