BRINGING THE HEAT!!!
FEAR THE RIPPERS!!!!
I hope to see all my GMG FOB’s at The Farm March 4th to Cheer wildly at The Farm Bar and Grille! I want Posterboards, I want bull horns, I want some serious support for our Fellow FOBs. I’m just gonna put it out there that if you don’t show up to have fun and cheer on our Rubber Rippers consider yourself crossed off my XMAS card list! (and you don’t want that do you?)
Let’s Go Over The Competition’s Weaknesses Shall We?
Mamies Kitchen Muffin Tops– The Sugar Induced Coma After Ingesting Mamie’s Kitchen World’s Greatest Coffee Roll Will Make This Team a Pushover!
Passports Canadian Bacon– Too Pretty To be Taken Seriously
Sugar Magnolias Team Shameless– Inexperienced
The Farm Bar and Grill Ass with Class– Too Drunk To Compete
Saving Private Ryan and Wood– One Shot Of Knockabout Gin Will Send This Team Reeling
North Shore Cross Fit Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle– Seriously?
Ed Collard’s House Doctor’s Blinded By the White – Bwa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! The Only Shot This Team Has Is If The Glare From Their Pale Legs Blinds The Other Team, (or they die laughing first)
Jungle Silkscreening Jungle Fever– Woozy From Sniffing Ink- Non-Factor
Beverly Athletic Club Kiss Our BACsides– BACsides are Gonna be blistered with Dodgeball marks
Farm Team Swiss Farmy Knives– Farm Knives? Could we get a more effeminate sounding team name? You’re not scaring anyone in this competition!
Maestranzi Brothers Red, White and Blue Balls– More concerned about the team’s outfits than competing and Team captain needs to pull his head out of his ass and get back in the game!
Muffy White Organizings Hot Mess– The Uber Type A Muffy will be so encompassed trying to figure out the proper Dodgeball rules that they won’t be able to focus on pure play and will lead to Hot Mess’ demise.
Cape Ann Brewing Nacho Libre– Have you drank more than three Fisherman’s Brew? If you have you know that the impairment which ensues will be this team’s undoing.
Cross Fit Cape Ann Buns and Guns and Power Snatch– So Angry about Passports Call-Out they’ve lost all their focus
Dog Bar American Bacon – Andy Mullholland in a Speedo? Enough said.
Beach Gourmet’s Drop It like It’s Hot– More concerned with renovation, may be distracted!

Spring in February
Yesterday was such a glorious day. We had a very low tide, so I was able to walk from Cambridge Beach to Lighthouse Beach along the shoreline and see things from a perspective I hadn’t seen before. People were kayaking, walking to the end of the sandbar and sand dollars were exposed along the water’s edge. All that after a wonderful morning of cameraderie and sharing at Mug Up. As Joey would say: “This doesn’t suck”.

Why the sudden interest in the Jodrey State Pier
There is beautiful assortment of waterfowl inhabiting the harbor. While there filming the birds and trying to get closer (ever closer!), I’ve become fascinated with the graphic industrial compositions from atop and from below the pier. For example, the above snapshot of Gloucester’s iconic Paint Factory, through the piling’s grid.

Where Zat?
I was out shooting yesterday and stopped here for a lunch break. Any guesses where I was parked? I can tell you it is in Gloucester. 🙂
Check out more of my photos here!
Update- Wes was the first person to identify my location! Here’s his answer: “You were at the end of a little pothole filled dirt road in west Gloucester by the traintracks (which would be on your left). It’s a little beach area looking out on the water. Nice shot!” Check the comments to see the others who got the answer as well! Congrats to all!
Thanks! ~ Sharon
Look For Gloucester’s Hometown Distillery Ryan and Wood On Chronicle Tuesday Night
Tuesday, February 21: Made in New England
From the channel 5 website:
The chip business is a dog eat dog business, but Needham based Food Should Taste Good is taking a bite out of the big guys’ profits. Shayna Seymour discovers how they’re doing it. Plus … it’s time to make the bread – and bagels and muffins – at Panera Bread. We’ll go inside their 24 hour baking operation. A Melrose woman makes canine comfort her priority, and the spirits of Cape Ann are brewing at a Gloucester’s Ryan and Wood Distilleries.
Ryan and Wood Will Be Sponsoring The Bikini Speedo Dodgeball Team “Saving Private Ryan and Wood” March 4th at the Farm Bar and Grille. We have all the brackets filled- twenty teams of bikini speedo dodgeball madness!!!!!!
