Wishing all of the GMG gang and FOBs the Merriest of Christmases from The Mathews Family! 

I posted this last year, but….after a particularly yummy eggnog drink at a friend’s house last night…it came up in conversation and I thought it was worth sharing again.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Matt Catanzano, of the duo Simply Unemployable, at the Improv Asylum in Boston a few times and I could watch this video of his 100 times….only it makes me super thirsty.
Merry Christmas.
So happy for our chief and wonderful Kate.


Lyn set up a tub in the Young Swan’s winter home. It’s quite nice, and she loves it. Her first order of business was to wash her neck, and then she jumped in!
If you would like to help with the expense of taking care of the Young Swan this winter, please send a check (tax deductible) to:
Cape Ann Wildlife
P.O Box 405

Or you can donate online at: http://www.caw2.org/

Thank you!
Love these beautiful animals and the view.


CONGRATULATIONS BOSSMAN JOEY AND KATE!

All the Cape Ann Big Band Holiday Swing concert musicians, the special guest vocalists, and the O’Maley school Band students were remarkable. And that cheery festive set was amazing– great job setting the vibe: Doreen Wonson, Kim Sayess, AnnaLee Meezes, True Sayess, and Carlos Menenzes Sr! Little sound snippet video captured below.


How hard is it to know exactly to the second when the sunrise occurs? You would think one click on the internet would do it but a few things make it slightly harder. The calculation has to know exactly where you are on earth. It also needs to know your elevation and the elevation of the horizon. All three are pretty easy here on Cape Ann. You don’t have to be within the foot, just a decent guess.
So if I am standing about 30 feet above the water and the sunrise is on the water, boom, 2/3rds done. Then you go to Sunrise Tools at this website and do some clicking. You can have a free account so once you have your favorite locations saved it’s easy.
Today, the sunrise was at 7:10:55 AM and tomorrow it will be 22 seconds later at 07:11:17 AM. Most internet calculators will round that off so that both happen at 7:11 AM. But if you want to see the green flash in the morning you need precision to the second.
That way I could figure out that my phone died precisely eleven seconds before sunrise.

If you haven’t had a chance to visit an aquarium, perhaps it’s worth consideration taking an opportunity to see fish and aquatic life from a different perspective than what you might get around town. These are from Mystic Aquarium which isn’t a long drive from Gloucester. I loved the colors and textures. Nothing against the wonderful New England Aquarium…I just don’t have lovely pictures from there recently. It’s on the bucket list, along with the Georgia Aquarium.
