“I have never killed a man, but I’ve read many an obituary with a great deal of satisfaction.”
Clarence Darrow (1857-1938)
A lawyer, civil libertarian, and agnostic, Darrow may be best known for his defense of John Scopes, dramatized in the film Inherit the Wind. Scopes had dared to teach evolution in 1920’sTennessee. They lost the case, but the charge was later reversed by a higher court. Darrow opposed the death penalty his entire career, adding a further twist to the above.

There’s not a much more beautiful way to enjoy Gloucester Harbor! If you haven’t been then here’s your chance to go on the most beautiful boat in G-Town and if you have been then you know what a ridiculous value it is to be able to go on the Lannon for $22!!!

My name is Dove and I am a five-month-old girl pup. I am a rescue from Puerto Rico. I am a Retriever mix with a tan-and-black coat. On Sat., June 4th, a Rescue Reunion will be held to meet the rescuers from Georgia and Puerto Rico. Look for more details soon. I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester. Maybe you can adopt me and we can go to the reunion together and I can show off my new family. My name is Dove, but I do not fly; but with these cute ears, you never know!

Rockport MA Can anyone put an approximate date on this one?
I learned my lesson last week so Homie and I are on the island for good. Hey, big guy, can you buy a girl a Fisherman’s?
Thanks. Rubber Duck tip of the week: Stones Pub & Eatery is known for great food but don’t skip over the bowl of Mac ‘n Cheese with Bacon just because you make it at home. Trust me, you don’t make this at home. The good part of the bowl is I can get right in there. The bad part is there is no room for the Chocolate Mousse Pie. Girls gotta watch her figure.

The festival includes interactive art events such as the Sidewalk Chalk Art contest, a scavenger hunt throughout downtown, the famous festival Dock Square Chowder Stand, live music, historical presentations, art activities for children, and the Words Before Dinner event, a poetry reading featuring the beauty and history of Cape Ann as its theme. The festival closes with Rockport on Film: Vintage Images of Rockport from the collection of Pierce Sears, proprietor of the Thomas Wilson Beverage Co.
Jazz, Bluegrass, and classic American Band music will all be featured, with appearances by Merrimack Valley Rounders, Soul Force V and the Rockport Legion Band among others. The day also includes featured events at participating businesses and an exciting array of community events such as an Instrument Petting Zoo and other activities for children sponsored by Rockport Music at the beautiful new Shalin Liu Performance Center.
The festival kicks off on Friday, May 20 at 7 o’clock in Dock Square with the premier of The Fish Shack Float That Charmed Chicago: filmmaker, historian & photographer Leslie D.
