Wednesday, August 30 – 7pm
THE RHUMB LINE
40 Railroad Avenue
Gloucester, MA
My Special Guests: DOWN HOME SWING!

Such a treat for us all to have Downhome Swing as our Rhumb Line music guests… for so many reasons. First off, the level of musicianship is totally off the charts. Marston by himself is a treasure. Add that Laurie and Ellen have such a natural vocal blend, you’d swear they were sisters! And… we of course must take full advantage of the limited time we have each year with the Keefes before they head back to St. John. Yes, we are lucky! ~ Fly

YETI…Well Thank Goodness

Posted on by Nichole S.

I took a three-day camping trip with four other “grown-ups” and 24 students a few weeks back.  Campers’ parents were kind enough to supply us with tons of gear to make the trip a success.  The 29 of us had 13 tents, 14 kayaks, 4 paddle boards, 3 grills, and several assorted coolers.  The YETI cooler shown below….did its job…and then some.  Don’t get me wrong….for the price these coolers better be game changers…but I was super impressed nonetheless.

In the days prior to the actual trip the children formed cooking groups, planned menus, and went shopping for all supplies and provisions.  Pretty cool.  While we had some larger 10 gallon jugs of water with purifiers, we also bought some small bottles of water. Those bottles went into the YETI warm….straight off the shelf of the grocery store….early Wednesday morning.  Just before midnight, Thursday night, we fished some completely frozen bottles of water out of the YETI.

Joey loves the Kenley brand Double Insulated Beer Can Cooler-Insulator and the RTIC brand double-walled stainless tumblers.  I wonder if there is a cooler out there as powerfully cold as the YETI…in a more affordable price?  Thoughts?

The benefits of Nasya Oil….

The nose is the direct route to the brain and also the doorway to consciousness. It is the entrance for prana, the life force, which comes into the body through the breath. Healthy uncongested breathing is important to ensure proper flow of prana throughout the head and body. When an excess of bodily fluids accumulates in the sinus, throat, nose or head areas, it is best eliminated through the nose. Administration of herbally infused oil, or nasya, helps facilitate this cleansing process. Nasya Oil soothes and protects the nasal passage while nourishing the tissues.

Daily nasal lubrication helps to:
• release tension in the head
• relieve accumulated stress
• improve quality of voice
• strengthen vision
• promote mental clarity

Classically, nasya oil is part of a daily routine for this very reason.
Adding this to your daily routine takes no more than…
