James Carroll- Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
By holding up a fancied golden era of yesteryear, we can devalue where we are and who we have become. Thanksgiving aims at gratitude not for what was, but for what is.
James Carroll 1943-
A former Catholic priest, Carroll is a syndicated columnist for the Boston Globe and other newspapers. He is the author of ten novels as well as several scholarly works on the Pentagon, House of War, and the Catholic Church, Constantine’s Sword. Currently a Scholar-in-Residence at Suffolk University.

I’m thankful for…………
Ask a 3 year old an open ended question and you never know what you are going to get. Ask them what they are thankful for and they will say…………………………..
Fishsticks!. Gorton’s will love this video. Save a Turkey – Eat a fishstick. We tried to give her Fishsticks a couple of times and she didn’t really dig them, yet she is thankful for them.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Mary Kate Canavan’s 9th Grade Honors Class Poem Series-Kacie Quinn

Gloucester crashes
Horizon a glass bottle
Sour scent of fish and pizza
Seagulls cawing; familiar greetings; the sea breeze whistles
Eccentric sorts with carrying personalities; not one just like another
Little sister comes home. I am diagnosed with middle child syndrome
Dog comes into house. She pees on the floor
Trapped in school overnight. No way out. Plus monster.
Huge glasses; tight Just Keep Dancing sweatshirt; carries pencil
If you don’t imagine, nothing happens
Breeze changes with the seasons.
Ocean splashes, crashing violently against rocks.

Looking For Lobster Trap Tree Volunteers
Help build the lobster trap tree!
Hi Joey,
Please get the word out.
The Planned build for the 2010 Lobster Trap Christmas Tree is This Sat-Sun. Nov. 22-28th. We are still in need of volunteers for the build. Which will start at 9:00 AM. There are a few other ways to help. We are still looking to borrow traps so if you know anyone who may have good strong traps the more the merrier. We are looking to have a total of around 450 traps, the more traps from less fisherman the less we will have to run around. Also we may need help coordinating the events for the lighting of the tree on Dec. 11th around 4:30PM. We may also need someone to coordinate having TV releases for those on camera. So if anyone is interested in that please contact me directly at david-brooks@hotmail.com. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and for those who and to work off the calories I can think of a better way to do that than to lift a few hundred traps.
Best,
David Brooks

Gloucester breeze
Island, surrounded by sea
smell of fish, taste of salt.
Waves crashing along the beach, oblivious seagulls screech.
On a summers day, all the kids come out to play.
“Almost there”! We both say, paddling to the greasy pole, each day.
Tired and breathless, we climb the ladder, we made it, laughter.
Friends and family aboard the ship, sailing away, I’m left.
Strong and happy, full of life and love.
Dream hard, work hard, live easy.
Smiles from the sun.
Gloucester Breeze
