Our Tony Gross Putting On A Photobombing Clinic At Schoonerfest
Here’s our Tony putting on a photo bombing clinic right here.
See? This is how you run for School Committee!
Publicity city baby. Flat out owning the focus of this picture. Can’t take your eyes off Tony’s commanding presence.
He’s a photobombing monster, an absolute monster.
I’d say Tony’s photo is about a hundred times more effective campaign-wise than our super good buddy Hannah Kimberley who couldn’t possibly have read my January 21, 2012 post on portrait taking-
Who makes someone pose like this?

Otherwise this never would have happened-
Hannah you straight up have my personal permission to kick Craig straight away in the nuts. When he asks you why you did that, show him this post
This is how I picture Hannah- with that warm smile-

If you can’t have fun in your late teens and twenties without popping pills I seriously feel sorry for you.

Great parade of sail
With all the activities we have in this wonderful community, I think the Schooner Festival is my favorite. Just beautiful.
Who Likes Fresh Baked Peach and Apple Pie?
Time to Stuff Your Sausage!
2:30 PM Labor Day and while we bless our unions for the 40 hour work week and getting this day off there is one more thing to think about. As of 2:30 PM today summer is over. I know, I know, you’re going to the beach a bunch more times but it’s time to start thinking about fall.
Fall: Pumpkins, and apple picking, and the second striper season, and looking at the stars without swatting mosquitoes, and now my new favorite fall activity, stuffing your sausage. Sue stuffed mine three different ways:
Top left: Kielbasa, top right: Chorizo, and center: sweet Italian sausage. It looked really easy! (Why did you just smack me Sue?) We have one of those monster Kitchen Aide mixers with the grinder attachment. Step One: (I love this part) go into Market Basket and ask the butcher, “You got any hog casings?” The other fun new saying I have is, “You stuff ’em, I’ll smoke ’em!”
Those kielbasas needed smoking:There is an easy way to tie your kielbasa off so they hang nicely. Next time I’ll do it that way. Out of the smoker, don’t they look purty?
Take home message after trying all three: this is worth doing. Not because you save a bunch of money although buying a huge picnic shoulder and turning it into these tasty sausages rounds out to about a buck a pound. It’s worth it because they are yummy and it is legal in Massachusetts to stuff your own sausage.
Sweet White-Fleshed Belle of Georgia Peaches
Ten quarts of ‘Belle of Georgia’ peaches from one little peach tree, peeled, blanched, and freezer-ready for yummy pies and smoothies during the winter months.
Pigeon Cove, "Maine?"
Fred Bodin submits-
HBO Filming in Pigeon Cove, “Maine?”
As I was driving to work this morning, I saw major activity at the old Cape Ann Tool Company site in Rockport (MA). Then I saw the lighting truck, then the big equipment truck, and the Rockport Police facilitating traffic on Route 127. The shed that was built on the parking lot and the big cherry pickers, which I thought were for construction of the new development, were there for a movie production.
The HBO series will be called Maine Men, and looks to include lobstering. And no, that’s not George Bush’s black speedboat on the left.The cute little shack they built says: Pigeon Cove. I could live there!

Main & Pier – another antique/vintage store!
Another antique and vintage store has appeared in Rockport! It is called Main & Pier, appropriately because that is precisely where it is located!
It has a lot of different kinds of items, from small to large. Here are some photos of my visit:
The hours are daily from 11 to 5-ish. According to the owner, the hours will likely change to fall hours in October. They will likely be everyday except Wednesday… subject to change! The phone number is 978-501-5927, and you can call for more information.

Video: Time Lapse Parade of Sails Through Gloucester Inner Harbor
The taller ships start appearing around 1:50, but I liked seeing all the smaller boats, too. Look for the Stanley Thomas lobster boat closer to the beginning. After the Parade I walked out onto the rocky ledge near the Eastern Point Lighthouse, but as you can see in the second-to-last clip, a thunderstorm was on the way and I had to skedadle.
Beautiful Event to film-to many of us, Gloucester is our “somewhere over the rainbow.”
