My View of Life on the Dock
To see the beach in your dream symbolizes the meeting between your two states of mind. The sand is symbolic of the rational and mental processes while the water signifies the irrational, unsteady, and emotional aspects of yourself. It is a place of transition between the physical/material and the spiritual.

The wet tracks reveal the movements of the lobster cart. Back and forth to the scale.
Took this picture from the pier in Magnolia… many people have stories about jumping off the pier including myself. Love the pink reflecting on the water and silver in the sky and water.
The cost is $15.00 plus 4.50 for shipping = Total $19.50 (What an amazing deal)
This is the perfect give for all music lovers!

Update: I just placed an order for a bunch of T Shirts in sm-med-lg-xl and xxl sizes stonewashed blue and white and pink so if you want a free “Christmas In Gloucester CD” write me at goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com
They won’t be available til after Christmas other than the ones I already have here listed down below in this post but you can order ahead.
I told myself I was done but people keep asking for other sizes than what I had listed so I figured I’d place an order for a bunch of different sizes. as always Paulie Walnuts will be doing the printing.

I was going to precisely calculate when the Winter Solstice occurs then describe how the Ursid Meteor Shower was worth staying up for tonight and the crescent moon at dawn but it will be cloudy so let’s skip all that.
Tomorrow will be zero minutes and zero seconds shorter than today. And that means it’s about time to celebrate Festivus. So pull the aluminum pole out of the crawl space, air the grievances, and begin the “Feats of Strength”.
Dave says,
As part of Cerebral Hemorrhage Week we’re proud to offer free trepanning demonstrations on the privacy of your own barstool. Cordless drills provided. We’ve even hired the commodious Dr. Steve Sadler to help to defray the cost of an entire rosy, new outlook. Hotflash debunker and Propofol® enthusiast, he’s sure to keep your mind in mind as we troll thru the river Lethe, looking for…what? Great tunes ensue. The fur will fly. Padding out our Xmas lineup will be that local wunderkind, Mr. John Loud, on ticking valves and tappets. Drummbs, too. A groove of glue. Of course, Greg T., on catarrh, and myself, on base, complete the aggravation. A splendid time for all! And may I take a moment to thank you all for your continued support down thru the years. Without your support we’d be less than zero. Please enjoy the holidays responsibly. The Blooz Party is safe when taken as directed. Call the Boston Herald if you have an erection that lasts more than four hours!
9:00- 12:00
MERRY XMAS!

Thank God the English are on our side! I think 🙂
Looking at City Hall through one of the windows in my room in the rectory, I see the lights on my Christmas tree superimposed over the building. It’s a nice seasonal effect!

Ever see the guy in the red glasses?
He’s Rockporter Robert Hartwell Fiske, and he’s the author of The Dictionary of Unendurable English, published last month by Simon & Schuster.
Robert Hartwell Fiske’s Dictionary of Unendurable English
A Compendium of Mistakes in Grammar, Usage, and Spelling with Commentary on Lexicographers and Linguists
Read what people think of him and his book:
However curmudgeonly, Mr. Fiske betrays a bluff humanitarian spirit….[Fiske] wants to save [the English language]. And he knows that he can count on little help. Dictionaries "have virtually no standards, offer scant guidance, and advance only misunderstanding." His own flogging of Merriam-Webster’s is one of the many pleasures of this lovely, sour, virtuous book. — The Wall Street Journal
Word snobs and copy editors should love the Dictionary of Unendurable English and cherish it as a reference book. Those learning English can benefit, too. Folks who think they have English down pat ought to read it. Fiske will quickly force them (of whom I am one) to shed that conceit. This is, of course, a form of knuckle rapping. Fiske, to his credit, makes it a pleasure to endure. — Andrew Allentuck, National Post
Fiske, the language-obsessed creator of online journal The Vocabula Review, does not mince words. Nor shall I: His dictionary is one of the grumpiest, most self-righteous intellectual exercises I’ve ever had the genuine pleasure of reading. — Mia Lipman, Shelfari
[Fiske’s] documentation of brand creep is fascinating: Reporters use non-words such as “alleve” (a misspelled rendering of a commercial analgesic) when they mean to say “relieve.” “Abilify” — an antidepressant — has been perverted into a synonym for “enable.” — Sheila Anne Feeney, Star-Ledger

Hi Joey,
I tagged along with Aaron, Tiger, and Chad for a few hours work on the Greasy Pole reconstruction a couple weekends back (Sunday, December 11th) and took some pictures.
It was a beautiful, crisp day in the harbor.
Enjoy!
Cheers, Betsy Goldman
Good Morning Gloucester
