My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey
What’s with the wind turbines? Some days all three are motionless, another day only one is turning, today two of the three are in motion. Are the two in motion generating power for Gloucester Engineering and Varian, and what about the motionless one with the blade so many of us signed? Will that be providing power for Gloucester’s municipal buildings? If so when? I’d like an update about the “three wise men” towering over Gloucester.
Thanks Mary Page
I’m gonna spare y’all the nasty photograph of my armpit hair but I have a burning question that can only be answered with a thoroughly scientific GMG reader poll.
As I get older my armpit hair much like my nose hair is growing wildly out of control. It’s disgusting. While I regularly maintain the growth in my nose hair, crazy weird wayward eyebrow hairs and manscape my junk I’m a little leery about trimming my armpit hair.
I don’t think as a man you want to take that armpit hair down to the skin like a woman but do guys regularly trim their armpit hair? I’m reaching out because I honestly don’t know and I don’t want to create a monster if I get started and then the stuff grows back three times more thickly and suddenly my armpits look like a really bad 70’s porno coochie.
Just taking off my shirt and *POOF* strike people with a big ol’ 70’s porno bush. *KAPLOWIE*
So male GMG folk, how do you handle your armpit hair situation? Do you trim away a little to keep in manageable? Do you shave it right down like a Georgia peach? Do you let the stuff grow proud and braid it occasionally?
What is your armpit hair management situation if any?
Joey,
I took these pretty pictures today, January 4th, 2013, in Lanesville
around 4:15 p.m. as I was driving along the shore, and I thought I’d
share them with you.
It was a beautiful sunset, and I just had to get some pictures of it.
I have business occasionally in Rockport, and I drive back and forth to Beverly by way of Lanesville and Annisquam. The Gloucester coastline is such a beautiful and varied place, it always catches my eye.
Thanks,
Peter Dorsey

Are people this stupid that they will buy this book? I mean really. You can basically eat salmon, hummus or vegetables. It seems the whole premise of this diet book is based on how few items you can eat.
You can’t eat lobster. No deep water fish like cod or haddock, no coffee, no eggs, no beef, no dairy, no wheat, no wine, no alcohol, no sugar.
Brilliant!

Stuffed Panda Back At His Gloucester Shop After ‘Pandanapping’
Kevin is back in front of Toodeloos enjoying his perpetual tea party. Rubber Duck was so happy to see him back she brought some of her friends by.
All of Kevin’s stuffing seems to be in the right place and except for a touch of lipstick on his collar none the worse for wear. Actually Kevin’s fur seems a little shinier than it was yesterday and when asked where he was all night he just grins.

Let’s all chip in and get one of these for Joey as a welcome home present. We could put it in the parking lot at Capt. Joe & Sons with its butt sticking in the big door and the rest of him taking up half the parking lot. I’m sure Frankie wouldn’t mind. When Joey comes tearing in the driveway and around the corner, he’ll see nothing but a big yellow duck. We could have a welcome home sign hanging from its bill. Shhh, let’s keep it a secret. Since he can’t get wifi, he won’t be able to see it here.

Last week (in this post) we warned you against waiting until the last minute to get tickets to see Chelsea Berry at Shalin Liu on Feb 9.
You may have thought we were just helping promote her concert, but you’d be wrong. That concert will sell out. Chelsea Berry doesn’t need our help promoting it. That’s because she’s a rising star, which is precisely why Northshore Magazine chose to feature her in their latest issue (see here).
We posted the warning so you wouldn’t miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see her debut new music with her new band at one of the most spectacular venues anywhere on Earth.
It won’t be long before tickets to a Chelsea Berry concert will cost at least a hundred bucks, they’ll sell out in a day, and even if you’re lucky enough to get them, you’ll very likely be a lot farther from the stage than the last row at Shalin Liu is. Plus you’ll have to drive an hour and pay for parking.
Don’t take our stellar talent and venues here on Cape Ann for granted. Look at it this way: It’s a Sunday in the dead of winter, yet there’s plenty of good live music to choose from tonight. See the lineup here.
Deb Clark spotted Kevin the Panda early this morning and he has now been reunited with Susan and Toodeloos. Rubber Duck will be down this afternoon for tea with Kevin to get the full story. It looks like there was too much heat around this Pandanapping. Toodeloos had posted a video of the woman with long brown hair in a dark car who pandanapped Kevin. The next morning Kevin appears.
Only in Gloucester!
