Origami from my archives
Going through some origami I have in storage I came across these inventions of mine I haven’t folded in a while.
First, this golden cat, that looks like it belongs in an Egyptian tomb.
Then this car. I came up with it a few years ago when a little boy asked me to make an origami car, and I didn’t have any instructions with me. The basic idea of the design is inspired in other models, but the way I worked it out is mine:
I have to remember how I did it, and get it diagrammed for future use…

Hi Joey,
Nice bumping into you at the rink last Sunday. Any chance you could post this? Paula Morgan is one of my very best friends and I’m incredibly proud of her….plus a big fan of her work. Paula also happens to be the Elementary art teacher at West Parrish School in Gloucester. She has her own blog and wrote the following post on it the other day. I thought it would be nice to share it with the community…especially since she teaches a number of their children! Thanks!
Paula Morgan Paintings
“On January 4th I will be placing some recent work on display at the Sawyer Free Library gallery in the lobby. I haven’t displayed my work in a public place in sixteen years! Sixteen years ago, I was 22 years old. So, what has changed in 16 years? I’ve had a couple of career changes, I’ve carved different paths, I moved 6 times, I experienced some significant relationship shifts, I got my Master’s degree in teaching, I got married, I had two children, and in some ways, I like to think I have accomplished a lot, and maybe even grown up a little.Sometimes taking long breaks from painting, but always feeling the itch, never fully abandoning it- I’ve continued to work in spurts, and bursts trying to keep the brushes wet and the artist spirt active.”

Are You Not Entertained?
Are you kidding me? Would you just look at this one day’s worth of content provided to you here on GMG?
Listen, there are glossy magazines that only come out quarterly around here that don’t provide what we provide in a single day. Glossy magazines that sell tens of thousands in ads, with paid staff, that take three months to put out a publication that I’d argue we could stack our content up against on a single day and we’re banging it out for you 365 days a year.
There are NO, ZERO, NADA media outlets providing what the team of Good Morning Gloucester contributors are putting out on a daily basis.
No Way, No How, End of Story!
The interesting conversations going on in the comment sections of the vegan and Rockport Breakwater posts, the incredible photography, the music scene, the local food posts, the inside and out coverage of the Rocky Neck Plunge, the old vintage recipes.
Could. Not. Be. Prouder. Of. My. Team. #Boom!

Sea Smoke over the ocean from Shore Road
Sea smoke appears when very cold air passes over warmer water, causing a type of fog. Warmer water, if you did the plunge on New Year’s Day, it is a relative term.

A great 2012 New Year’s resolution DELIVERED to Open Door!
Day to day you see a lot of useless stuff come across social media feeds. If you Like the Open Door Facebook page, you saw this uplifting post come across your screen. This is the power of one at its best. Setting a goal and accomplishing it for the greater good of the local community! Pure awesomeness!
Roger Corbin set a goal to donate 20 pounds a week to The Open Door and used bottle returns and extreme couponing to hit his goal. Congrats to everyone around who benefits from this truly amazing act of kindness.

Rockport’s Harbor of Refuge from Fred Bodin
Proposed “Submerged Enrockment” of the proposed breakwater, 1888. Enrockment is the granite rubble dumped into the ocean for breakwater’s foundation. It was conveniently supplied by nearby the Rockport Granite Company and Pigeon Hill Granite Company.
Great White Fleet, Sandy Bay, Rockport, circa 1900. The three coal powered battleships are the (L-R) USS Alabama, USS Indiana, and an unidentified battleship. Beginnings of the breakwater appear in the background. Photo by Charles H. Cleaves.

Ron Gilson’s An Island No More
Thank you Ron for this treasured gift of An Island No More!!!
Yesterday on our front porch my husband found a wonderful surprise package, not long a mystery from where it came with a lovely inscription from the author himself, Ron Gilson. An Island No More ~ The Gloucester I Knew is a deeply personal and fascinating account of Gloucester’s working waterfront and its people, with hundreds of black and white photographs. I was immediately transported to Gloucester during the Great Depression and haven’t been able to put down the book. An Island No More is available from Amazon or by contacting the author at P.O. Box 557, Gloucester, MA 01930.Note: The little boy sitting on the dock and looking at the Emily Brown (see the book jacket illustration) is none other than RON at eleven years old, circa 1944.
To read more about Ron Gilson and An Island No More see the following GMG posts:

As of yesterday, there were only 50 tickets left to Chelsea Berry’s triumphant return to Shalin Liu with her new band, performing songs from her new CD. And the concert is on Feb 9 (five weeks from Saturday).
Do you really want to be one of those people who clicks on this link in two weeks and screams at the computer, Oh Sh*t, it’s sold out?
Just in case you missed her opening for Chris Isaak at North Shore Music Theatre last June, here’s a taste of what you can expect next month in a much more intimate setting:
Now just because it’s cold, doesn’t mean the weekend doesn’t start on Thursday. Good live music choices tonight. See the complete lineup here.
