Lewis Sandler Gloucester Video From August 2010

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hey Joe,

Remember me? Lewis Sandler here. I took a video of Gloucester+ last August.. Well, it is now online…(I’m a little slow)
You can see it below..But keep in mind, the video was made for my students in university in Beijing, China who have never been to US and know little about US or especially small town USA.  My purpose was too introduce them to my hometown. So my video, in some aspects,(eg my family friends)  may be a little irrelevant to you or your viewers. But hope you enjoy it anyway.
I showed video to them last month and they all liked it very much. They asked me questions such as why so many boats, why the belly dancer dance in the street, why the man with the beer (you) doesn’t want his wife to know he drinks beer, what does my brother (Clark) think of government fishing regulations etc..

Peabody Essex Museum – Check out Eye Spy, Playing with Perception Exhibit

Posted on by DIY SKI GUY

I didn’t get a web business feature for this week, but recently got to Peabody Essex Museum in Salem and wanted to share some pics. If you have never made the trip down to Salem to check out PEM, you need to get one scheduled. It has something for everyone, including young kids. We go right to the Art & Nature center, where the kids are safe to experience much of the exhibit. The rest of the Museum is stunning and a truly visceral experience. After checking out this museum, grab a bite at one of the many restaurants within walking distance.

Senator Scott Brown At Cape Pond Ice

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Good Morning Joey….

In the last photo, we’re admiring my photograph on the back of our truck “Catch the Cool”

The Senator’s promised me a copy of his new book, and headed out by boat (it was low tide, and the ladder down was a little dicey) with a Cape Pond Ice t-shirt and fleece vest.

“LOVERS’ MOON”
By Joda Khan

mere words come to life
they have colors
they’re butterflies escaping their cocoons
shadows can feel
and fantasies are real
under a lovers’ moon
lovers embrace under night darkened skies
they trade kisses as sweet as wine
the trees standing near
seem to be caught in the spell
as their branches reach out
and entwine
under the glow of this yellow moon
every word written is gold
they speak of pyramids
of magical times
and of stories yet to be told
the eerie light of a lovers’ moon
conjurs up words never repeated while alone
and whispers that linger
on the breath of night
they seem to follow wherever you roam
so if the words in your soul must be spoken
with the eloquence of a musical tune
then arm yourselves with heart in hand
and search each night
for a lovers’ moon

Happy Valentines Day!

Posted on by blackswanbeth

Don’t forget! Get your mother some flowers right away! Get extra kisses from your wee ones (even if they are awkwardly unwilling 15-year-olds), give your honey a thank you and a kiss (these are free and go over well for either and both sexes.)

Low expense or free, fun things to do:

  • Make home-made Valentines
  • Watch the sunset
  • Take a walk in the park, along the boardwalk, or on the back shore
  • Walk down Main Street
  • Get hot chocolate at a Cafe
  • Go to a local candy store and choose one piece each (just one – it’s hard, but more fun and turns it into a snack-tivity)
  • Walk along a wind-whipped beach
  • Light candles
  • Make homemade dessert together
  • Write a love letter
  • Read a poem together
  • Put on nice music
  • Time is the most precious gift you can give
