Fred Bodin Covers The 2013 Sidewalk Bazaar

Sidewalk Bazaar 2013

Thursdays during the Bazaar are usually very slow, but not this one, as you can see. We’re looking to the west toward the end of Main Street.

Too busy to eat but famished, I escaped to Passports up the street. The owner, Eric, was outside serving up lobster rolls, and late in the day they were reduced to $10 from $12. They’re made Joey C. style, with mayo and no or minimal condiments. There was probably a full lobster in this sandwich, and I apologize for eating 1/4 of it before taking a picture. The willpower is weak when you’re hungry. Passports will have them again tomorrow.

Interesting aside: While struggling to remember the correct phrase for “the willpower is weak,” I considered going into Jalapenos to ask, but that might have been kind of weird. But just then, a couple came into the gallery. It was, I found out, Kay Lazor, a reporter for the Boston Globe, and her husband, who voluntarily helps her with editing (he was an editor for the Boston Herald). They thought “willpower” was good, and corrected my usage of commas. I don’t know them, but I realize I need to brush up on my “AP Stylebook” and “Strunk and White’s Elements of Style.” Life is so interesting, and tomorrow will be a zoo on Main Street and in the gallery. I rush forward to meet it. http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/blogs/white-coat-notes/2013/07/30/summer-first-batch-mosquitoes-with-eee-found-amherst/zUCgZIuxPt7kIHdPi5kFRK/blog.html

Tomorrow we’ll be open at 9am. Outside we’ll feature Laura Jardullo (left) of the Dress Code with her feathered hair bands, and I’ll have 50 newly (today) arrived pieces of Dave Matthews’ pottery at discounted prices. Photo taken in front of the gallery.

Lost Hound In Dogtown

Hi Joey,

I’m a new-ish Gloucester resident ( and long cape ann appreciator ) come over from great neck in ipswich.
photographer, writer, musician, yoga-ist, pet rescuer, social scientist, long time house cleaner & interior design/ clutter buster, future counselor, yoga & health teacher and all round cool person, lol. I look at your page regularly and have been meaning to send some photos and such.
Gloucester is fascinating, and i’m glad to be here.

I have 2 hounds, one, DUNCAN, an american-english coonhound ( lemon-spotted, no less !), southern rescue,
a really serious tracking/hunting dog. ( pacifist tho, he doesn’t kill, or end the hunt ). One of the business plans i was about to emBARK on
is an exercise excursion for dogs, or dogs and humans, led my self and my hounds thru the woods… at an appropriate level of fitness.
these dogs not only lead a good outdoor work out, but they can show you where many different animals live and the paths they travel, etc.
We enjoy the beaches, and the woods and quarries daily, and get to know the woods and the people and animals in them better and better. This would be an important element of our excursions.

Sadly, i think Duncan has gone off to do the research on his own. The two hounds slipped out the back of our Lanesville Home. I woke up to find the little one home on the couch looking dazed 2 days later. Duncan has now been gone a week. He was last seen & heard baying/ singing up by Nelson’s quarry last weekend. He knows how to live in the woods, as he did in Virginia, and i have a feeling someone has seen him and is putting out food in hopes he’ll come. And that he’s eating the food and taking off to track again. he’s like an addict when he tracks. So i’m writing to you
in hopes that some of your readership may have seen or HEARD him ( very distinctive sing-song-y bay)
and in hopes that some of them might have good knowledge of Dogtown and the Quarry area that they might want to show off.
I don’t feel i can just leave him out there alone. I’m hoping some people might want to help me search for him, create some search parties.

Duncan is such a special dog to me. I’ve lost a lot lately, but at least i still had him. Now he’s running around dog town somewhere and i’ve got to somehow find him before he gets his foot caught in a pile of rocks or something. If anyone has seen, heard or can help make search parties for him please contact me
at: suburban_seaqueen@yahoo.com( and should i include a phone # ?)
Thank you in advance !!
