it’s all about the “F” word!

Chill Out!

It’s not what you think.

 

I love Quotations. Here are a few on “FUN“

 

“there are worse things in life than having fun”                                                  Bill Harris

 

“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun”  Katherine Hepburn

“When the fun goes out of play, most often so does the learning”.   Joanne E. Oppenheim

 
“Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It’s crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it? I think I learned that from the artists, from my grandmother, from all the creative people I’ve spent time with over the years”.         Frank O. Gehry

From Dean Salah-

Hey all, the next Georges By Night dinner will be Sat. May 15th, tickets on sale at Georges $25 per person.

Anyone Wanna Buy My Camera?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I’m looking to once again upgrade. 

I can honestly say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this camera and have had ZERO problems with it during the past 8 months or so that I’ve owned it.  It is a Sony DSC H-20 and it sells for $250- $355 new on Google Shopping- you can see it here http://www.google.com/products?q=sony+dsc+h20+camera&hl=en&aq=0&oq=sony+dsc+h20 and that is without any extra accessories.  I’ll add in an extra battery along with the stuff that it originally came with and sell it for $175 with no negotiations.  The camera is worth every penny.

Here’s what the camera looks like-

So you know that this camera is in perfect working condition  these pics up to the HD video have been shot within the past few days-

Taken yesterday-

Taken May 3

hd video taken May 5th

This camera is perfect for anyone thinking about blogging or havinbg a camera that takes pictures as well as a larger camera but fits in your pocket easily.

I can’t say enough good things about it.

It also takes great photos in low light like these-

Land of Ktulu submitted to the GMG Flickr Group By halibut2

 I know Paul Morrison likes to stack up rocks.  He uses the term cairns to describe the stacked up balanced rocks.

The pictures here are from halibut2 and were taken on May Day at Halibut Point.  The video is from pro rocker-stacker Bill Dan.

From the wikipedia page for cairns-

A cairn (carn in Irish, carnedd in Welsh, càrn in Scots Gaelic) is a human-made pile of stones, often in conical form. They are usually found in uplands, on moorland, on mountaintops, or near waterways.

If you’re looking for something to do why not head out to Halibut Point, make some cairns, take some pics and submit them here to GMG

There’s also The Rocker : World Wide Phenomenon a blog with some great pictures and videos of Cairns

Jimmy T Writes- Bring Your Rain Jacket!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Putting In The Dories Saturday Morning-

Sounds like there is rain in the forecast for Saturday morning when we put the boats in. Please don’t let that dissuade you from helping for an hour or two. We are meeting at the dory storage tent, behind Eastern Ave Self Storage, 7 a.m. Saturday morning.

Some should bring rowing gear to row a boat from E. Gloucester to the Town Landing, anyone who has a trailer would be great, otherwise just bring your smiles and muscles!

There are still boats available for anyone who wants to row the Essex River Race, May 15th.

One more week to top the $2000.00 bid for the handline dory, then it will be sold.

Thank you.

Sushi In Tampa Doesn’t Suck

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Pictures from the Rabbit

It was the first time I’ve tried rolls that were wrapped in some type of lettuce instead of rice (see bottom picture).

The lettuce made the roll much lighter.  I’ll have to look for this type of sushi around here.  Any of you readers know of any local sushi joints that prepare it this way?
