Surprise on the Lobster Dock

Twenty five of us, authors, contributors, and friends, and family converged on Captain Joe’s lobster dock. We entered singing Happy Birthday. There was only one time I felt this level of camaraderie, and that was with my fellow rowers at the Maritime Gloucester rowing program. There they are right off the dock. This is a very industrial space, with herring parts on the floor. But the view isn’t bad. The mug up was held up in Joey’s office. Industrial.

Joey was totally surprised. Kim Smith made the tiramisu birthday cake and delivered it with candles burning. Melissa Cox is on Joey's left.

Good luck! All the candles were blown out and Joey apologized to Kim for blowing a cocoa powder storm onto her blouse.

Here's a man truly enjoying his birthday. There's the expression of: "For me?" So happy.
