David Brown
If you heard any Billy Joel song from the 1980’s,
you’ve heard Dave Brown play guitar.
If you enjoyed Simon & Garfunkel’s “Concert for Central Park”,
you’ve heard Dave Brown play guitar.
If you come to Alchemy this Wednesday from 7-9pm, you can hear it again!
Gloucester has produced some amazing musicians, and it is a real privilege for me to have Dave join me this week. This should be good.
Oh, and don’t forget: it’ll be Ladies Night and there are some great food and drink specials.
I hope to see you,
John

And this is why I’m not a nature guy…
A couple of weeks ago we were walking through Halibut Point Park with another family, the Daniels. Halibut Point is one of the area’s true gems with gorgeous vistas, easy to navigate trails, nice spots to stop and picnic, it’s just fantastic and if you haven’t gone I’d say it’s in the top ten list of things to do when you visit.
While we’re walking through Halibut Point we hear a bullfrog. Matt Daniels, great guy and the dad in the other family hops onto a rock, spots the bullfrog and snatches the thing up in his hands. Just like that he had a bullfrog in his hands, showing it to all the kids.
Now the thought of reaching down and grabbing a frog is just not anything I’d ever think of doing. Grabbing a frog holds about as much appeal to me as handling a steamy turd barehanded.
When I encounter wildlife all that runs through my head is how the creature is going to attack me or peck my eyes out or rip my guts out and leave me there with my entrails hanging out waiting for the buzzards to come and finish me off.
Anyway, this video here confirms all my suspicions about wildlife-
Here is Matt Daniels holding the frog we saw at Halibut Point State Park-
I see you looking at me killer attack frog. I’m watching you watching me!

So I went to this new joint in Beverly…
I don’t mind paying up for great food but the one thing that I will not endorse is paying up for good food but leaving hungry.
When you offer up a pasta dish for $22 and then serve barely 6 ounces of pasta I have a problem. That’s $22 without salad, just the pasta dish. Pasta- as in wheat flour and eggs.
I won’t be back.
I coulda ate a feast at Sista Felicia’s or gone to La Trattoria for better food at a lot less or my favorite Italian restaurant of all time- Vinny’s Superette in Somerville for half the dough and a hundred times better food.
Screw that place. Never going back.
(our dining companions were great though)

In Flanders Field
In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
~ Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918), Canadian Army

In Flanders Field is one of the most beautiful war poems ever written. To read about the making of the poem see the following from the Arlington National Cemetery website.

Memorial Day Ceremony
On Monday morning the Memorial Day Ceremony was held with the sun streaming down. This ceremony was very respectful and emotional. The Keynote Speaker, Mr. Melvin Olsen a Korean War Veteran spoke of the trial and difficult times serving in Korea in the early 1950’s. The Guest Speaker, Kangho Park, Consul General, Republic of Korea, also spoke eloquently being very grateful to the veterans from his home land. Today we must thank our veterans from the past and present.
Good Morning Gloucester
