It’s Comedy Night at GAAC!
More Cape Ann Community News-
http://www.capeanncommunity.com
Friday February 12 at 8:00 pm is comedy night at the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club! Club fave Glenn Chaple will regale us with his presentation on astronomy humor; Glenn will be briefly preceded by Steve Kolaczkowski with the low down on what’s up for 2016, presented in his inimical style. Hint: there will be planets galore, and even a transit!
But on to the main event. Last year we previewed a small excerpt of Glenn’s “Astronomy Humor” presentation and the full presentation promises to be a rare experience. Those who were there will tell you that you’re in for a laugh-filled and on-topic evening at the Lanesville Community Center. The parking is free, and there’s no cost. What’s not to like? So come on in for all the usual great stuff to eat and drink, and the always-great conversation with your astronomy friends; you don’t want to miss this one.

NEW SHORT FILM: PERFECT WAVE
Set to music by Peter Dayton, “Perfect Wave” is a compilation of clips from the day after blizzard Jonas, filmed along the Back Shore and at Good Harbor Beach. I only needed a few shots of B-roll for several projects but the light was so beautiful I stayed and stayed. Mesmerizing, yet terrifying to imagine being on the sea in a boat, the waves were spectacular from every vantage point along Atlantic Road. As a friend said, it was a photographer’s dream that afternoon. I’d love to make another short to Peter’s fantastic surfing song, set in Gloucester at Good Harbor Beach, but during the summertime.
So many thanks to my friend Peter for allowing use of “Perfect Wave.” I heard the song on his website recently. Boston rockers will surely remember Peter from La Peste. Peter is also a phenomenal painter and you can see some of his images of minimalist surfboard inspired paintings and collaged flower paintings on his website here: Peter Dayton

Just what is a “Double”?
2 yoga classes in 1 day. (We recommend back to back)

Set up the Kettle for the snake method using briquettes, cherry chips and mesquite chunks.
Got a third of a chimney going and dumped the asked over coals onto the left end of the briquette “fuse” looking to keep temps around 250 degrees for smoking the beef.
Applied Worcestershire sauce to the chuck roast and then coated with coarse salt and black pepper.
Once the pit hit 250 degrees tossed the beef on and inserted the probe.
Closed the lid and started chopping the veggies. Chopped half a green pepper, a whole red pepper, two jalapeño peppers with the seeds, three Cloves of garlic minced and a half of a red onion in
Once the beef hits 165 internal we pull it…

Gloucester: On the Waterfront by David Bovet
Exhibit at the Matz Gallery, Sawyer Free Library – February 2016
Photographs by David Bovet
Artist’s Statement
Fishing and the sea have defined Gloucester for centuries. The sights and smells of the water and boats are everywhere. I love roaming the docks in Gloucester to see what’s happening and perhaps capture a compelling image.
These photographs attempt to convey some of the unique marine flavor of Gloucester – especially the rugged beauty of the city’s pride, its fishing boats. And a few shots of the wide horizon’s grander view as well. My focus is on light, color and pleasing patterns, on large or small scale.
I hope you enjoy viewing these pictures as much as I’ve enjoyed making them. Walk around Gloucester and check out the waterfront in person!
Biography
This show combines my lifelong passion for boats and the sea with the art of photography. I first visited Gloucester during college, while in Boston for a work term at a fishing boat design firm. Originally trained as a naval architect, I’ve since moved on to management consulting but never lost my love of boats. A Lexington resident, I also own a home in Gloucester and enjoy spending time on Cape Ann. I’m a member of the First Parish Fine Arts Photography Club in Concord and have exhibited at the State House in Boston and at venues in Lexington and Concord.

Wanna know whose fault this parking ticket is?
Not anyone else’s but mine. Not the metermaid. Not the City of Gloucester. Not the parking clerk. It’s Joey Ciaramitaro’s fault. Because even though I fed two other meters in different downtown locations just one hour earlier, I forgot to feed this one. It wasn’t a conscious decision to try to run in and run out of the store. It was just a mental lapse and I forgot. So it’s on me. I accept 100% of the responsibility and blame.

Goodnight, from Annisquam Light
Well, if this isn’t a lovely way to end the day I don’t know what is.
Thank you to Paul and Betsey Horovitz for helping us see what it looks like to end their day at Lighthouse Beach in the Annisquam.

REDHEADS!
The back shore was abuzz this weekend with bird sightings of several interesting species including Redheads, Black-headed Gull, Glaucous Gull, and Arctic Gull. With their round cinnamon-colored heads, this dynamic duo of male Redheads were particularly beautiful in the late afternoon light. Redheads are diving ducks and as you can see in the photos, they are feasting on the vegetation found along our currently unfrozen shores.

Aren’t we blessed this year with El Nino’s warmth. I wonder what travelers are yet to come our way this winter. Happy February-thaw!
