My View of Life on the Dock
Ed Collard’s an all around nice guy and does some great stuff that goes unnoticed for the City of Gloucester.
BUT!
He can “Bust’em” with the Best! But. Can he take it?
Here’s a not to fictional typical conversation between Joey(the female character in this movie) and Ed Collard (the man sitting at the desk). I’ve personally witnessed a few of these.

Are you one of those slackers that never brings your books back in time? Well there is good news- You can assuage your guilt in two ways by bringing in some non-perishable food items in lieu of overdue book fines. You help needy families and feel good doing so.
We are a group of people interested in exploring the world with a skeptical point of view.
One definition of skepticism is "rational, critical, and scientific thinking." We are not cynics nor contrarians. Rather, we are people who look at the world rationally.
There are Skeptics in the Pub meetings around the world. It’s an opportunity for skeptics and those who want to learn more about skepticism to gather and share ideas.
The third Skeptics in the Pub is on November 16 at 6:00PM. We are meeting at the Dog Bar, 65 Main St. Gloucester.

Something tells me our girl Alicia Pensarosa won’t be missing this one.
Maybe all the moms and dads out there already know about this and I’m late to the game but just in case they aren’t in the know- this is IMO the definitive guide to what to do with your kids each week if you live North of Boston.
It is comprehensive and very easy to navigate. I’ve never seen such a well laid out and easy to understand calendar of things to do format on the web as this one.
I rarely get days off this time of year but when I do there are often times the Mrs and I will look at each other and ask “what do you want to do?” My response 9 times out of 10-“I dunno, what do you want to do”
Let North Shore Kids be your guide and ease the pressure of finding great things to do with your family each and every week. I’ll be adding in a link to the weekend pics roundup as well.
Here’s the link-
You inspired me to make this trailer today, and I’m glad you did; no one can better expression the passion that citizens have for Gloucester like you can. It’s for the release party specifically which, as you know, is next thursday, 11/11. I hope your fans enjoy this, and I hope they come to the screening and/or get a copy of the DVD.
Celebrate Gloucester was important (and successful) in raising money for the charity to benefit the city, but furthermore the concert was an important event for the city as a community. It brought a lot of people together for a great cause and showcased some incredible homegrown talent and great food. The film takes it to another level, sort of immortalizing it for the history books as a milestone; a point in time where the city and it’s residents came together to grow as a society and a community for the better.
Thanks, see you on the 11th!

Gloucester has been recently highlighted as the backdrop for many things commercial, including The Amazing Race. Has this always been the case? Check out this ad for the 1973 Chevy Monte Carlo. As you can see the backdrop is the lovely Good Harbor Beach. Chevy gave this bad boy RADIAL TIRES and AN EXTERIOR THAT REFLECTS THE SOPHISTICATION WITHIN! GO AMERICA!
Wait a second????? That guy in the ad looks familiar. I had to investigate further. Wait…. Lets go to the zoom feature. Wow.. It’s no other than our boy Joey C. Definitely makes me question his published age.
Saturday, November 6 – Concert in the Gallery with Claudia Nygaard!
Time & Tide Fine Art
4 Market Street, Ipswich
7:30PM
978 238 8848
Join us for an intimate concert experience
with Nashville recording and touring artist Claudia Nygaard.
Claudia Nygaard’s long legs hang over both sides of that same fence between country and folk music that Guy Clark and John Prine have straddled. Her sound is acoustic, and while her songs find their roots and rhythms in the Americana storytelling tradition, the melodies are passionate and emotional. A former Music Row staff writer, and Kerrville “NewFolk” songwriting competition winner, Claudia crafts songs that range from heartfelt to humorous, and she does so with a quick wit, an articulate point of view, and vivid imagery. She is an engaging performer with a sensual alto voice.
Suggested donation $15
Seating is limited… arrive early and have a nibble before the concert begins!
“Completely at ease on stage, Claudia had fun with her audience,
telling stories and adding personal glimpses into her life.”
