Magical Unicorns
“Wherever they may have come from, and wherever they may have gone, unicorns live inside the true believer’s heart. Which means that as long as we can dream, there will be unicorns.”
So wonderful.
So Wonderful.

Dear Friends,
You’ve heard me talking about my butterfly film (for Months!). I began filming the black swallowtails last July and am only now close to finishing. I am so excited to share this project with you and hope you enjoy the trailer.
My daughter Liv and friend Kathleen Adams collaborated on a beautiful rendition of “Simple Gifts.” The music in the background is an improv interlude from their recording session.
Coming soon: Documentary about the Life Story of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, from egg, to caterpillar, to chryrsalis, to adult. Filmed in a garden and along the seashore, Gloucester, Massachusetts. Featuring the black swallowtail butterfly, wildflowers, pollinators, the sun, the garden, and more.
The 25th Annual Matin Luther King, Jr. March will take place at 10 a.m. on Monday, January 21, 2013. The march for
peace will begin at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Rockport, 4 Cleaves Street, Rockport, and all those interested in
participating are invited to gather at the church at 9:30 to make signs. There will be a short program, led by Rev. Susan
Moran, following the march.

These are available at Smith Hardware up at Gloucester Crossing and I assume the Rockport location too. Damn varmint raccoons. I’ve had my share of run-ins with raccoons. Hate the little bastards.
When I step back and look at the situation I know I could take the little sons-a-bitches but in real life face to face they scare the shit out of me. I literally turn into a girly man. Like even if I’m holding a nine iron and there’s no way the raccoon could get to me before implanting the club squarely in it’s forehead I’m scared to hell of the things. Can’t explain it, it’s just the way it is.

Boom! I shot up out of bed like a rocket figuring that the maniac (Snoop Maddie Mad) finally figured out how to climb out of her crib and had landed with a thud. The Mrs, startled said no it didn’t … Continue reading →

Niece Amandacakes turned us on to this gem of a show on New Year’s Day
The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
Fishermen on the Native Son repair and tag their nets for landing perch.

Between non PC humor and MFers dying, it should be clear that we’re heaping way too much stress on him during his vacation.
Really, folks, we all need to find someone else to complain about — and we need someone else’s sarcasm to soar right over our heads while we’re complaining.
Inge Berge to the rescue. According to The Noise magazine, Inge’s music is “Odd, adventurous and compelling.”
Plus you get the added value that Inge’s sarcastic wit is wrapped in catchy pop tunes you’ll be singing all weekend. Just don’t sing the lyrics to your mother-in-law.
You’ve got two chances to see Inge this weekend (tomorrow @ Dog Bar and Sunday @ Rhumb Line) See this weekend’s complete live music schedule here.
The best way to get your fill of sarcasm+bitching-about-sarcasm is to request some of Inge’s most witty and sarcastic songs and then complain about how you’re offended by them. Here are a few choice examples:
More Inge Berge videos here, including an inside look at the making of Shit Under Your Shoes.

Mount Sunapee Ski Resort just a two hour drive from Gloucester. Leave at 6:30AM and that leaves you with a half hour to buy a ticket, get your boots on and be the first on the lift. This Wednesday it was half price Wednesday (no idea if they do it every Wednesday) so even if you bail like RD’s sistah and hit the bar at noon for a Blue Moon it’s still a deal.
Rubber Duck stayed home. Still recovering from the New Year’s plunge.
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”
Attributed to Haruki Murakami (1949- )
Although often quoted from Murakami’s essay “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running,” this saying is much older and has its roots in Zen Buddhist tradition, which holds that one’s attitude toward the vicissitudes of life is all that any of us really has any chance of controlling. Murakami, who is often compared to Kurt Vonnegut, did not begin writing until his late 20’s, but has won widespread acclaim for his humorous and surrealistic novels including The Wild Sheep Chase and Kafka on the Shore. Infused with diverse musical references, Murakami’s beautifully written work is representative of the cultural tumult in modern Japan, and is just plain-old fun to read. He has been a writer-in-residence at both Princeton and Tufts universities and participates in triathlons and ultra-marathons. His most recent novel is the excellent 1Q84.
