After asking her why she wants it to be Tuesday she gets a big smile on her face and says she wants it to be Tuesday because ballet class is on Tuesday.

C B Fisk Open House Invitation and OPUS 137 Video Part III
Dear Joey,
Here’s our open house invitation again which I hope you will find time and space to run again towards the end of the week, I hope you’ll stop in too. We expect to have several hundred people at our shop on Saturday, especially since this organ will be going to a church so close to home lots of Andover parishioners will also show up. There are tours of the shop at 2:30, 3:30 and 4:30 and folks are invited to play the organ as well.
By the way, thanks so much for your support of the Sawyer Free Library, it is much appreciated. The Board and staff work hard to give Gloucester the library it needs.
Regards,
Greg
I’d love to see Willie “Loco” Alexander jam out on the OPUS 137

I drove my co-workers crazy making them stop to take these pictures, but in the
end we all had alot of fun!
Enjoy,

Thanks for all the hard work and effort that you put in for Good Morning Gloucester. I’m happy I subscribed.
I don’t know how photos are posted on the site, but last August a good friend and I happened upon a smashing Rocky Neck block party.
I randomly snapped some pictures of kids hoola hooping incessantly with bright, neon hoops. I could only think "boy! will they sleep well tonight."
I attach are some fyi.

Chickity Check It!- Trip For The Tree From Our Senator Bruce Tarr
Sister cities Gloucester, Ma and Shelburne, Nova Scotia have a great tradition of Shelburne giving Gloucester a Christmas tree each year and Gloucester’s legislative delegation giving books to the Shelburne library in return.
A delegation from Gloucester is now on the way to get the tree, with Ringo Tarr at the wheel of the truck and trailer that will carry it on the long journey to its place of honor at Kent Circle.
I am part of the crew, and we have video equipment so we will post clips of the trip here over the next few days. The first clip is posted below.
Bruce has his own blog if you didn’t know. You can check it out here-

A Great Night Out
On Friday, we were able to get a night out and check out the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport. To be short and sweet, this place is amazing. I highly recommend checking their schedule and finding one event just to check it out. The opening act was Rockport High’s own, Polygroove Orchestra. They got a standing O and graciously dedicated songs to their grandparents in the audience. Grace Kelly, an up and coming Jazz artist, then hit the stage. She is definitely one to watch with a stage presence beyond her years, a beautiful Jazz voice and a smooth alto saxophone. She pointed out that she has played many beautiful places across the world, but none with the beauty of the Shalin Liu.
If you are a big Jazz fan and are up for a once in a lifetime event, Dave Brubeck will play a special fundraiser for Rockport Music on November 21st. He’s over 90 years old and still touring!
In a rush to get out we never did eat before the show, but were glad to find that the Franklin Cafe serves until midnight on the weekends. The bartender served up some great drinks and we had some great hand cut fries. You can’t spend time at the Franklin without admiring and discussing their 2 Jeff Weaver paintings. The one below is definitely my favorite. A few pics from my camera phone.

Annisquam Light
From : The Lighthouse
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The rocky ledge runs far into the sea,
and on its outer point, some miles away,
the lighthouse lifts its massive masonry,
A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day.
Even at this distance I can see the tides,
Upheaving, break unheard along its base,
A speechless wrath, that rises and subsides
in the white tip and tremor of the face.

The trouble with being punctual is there’s nobody there to appreciate it.
Franklin P. Jones 1908-1980
Jones began as a reporter for the Philadelphia Record. He had a long-running column in the Saturday Evening Post and had later success as an ad man. In later life he devoted himself to short form humor and was a prolific producer of quips and quotes.
