Work on the docks has temporarily ceased due to the coronavirus situation however, although not quite finished, the docks are useable to a certain degree and are quite secure against bad weather.

It’s Arwen from the Bookstore! I hope you and your family are well and weathering these crazy times! I wanted to reach out and ask if you could let your followers on GMG know that we are open for phone or e-mail orders. I am doing curbside or free local home delivery of books. I also have been ordering puzzles, sticker books and such for family entertainment.
I am planning on being at the store most days for calls and on our website,” thebookstoreofgloucester” I have lists of store favs and updates on Bookstore happenings.
Thanks for all you do for our community and the support you offer!
Stay well, Arwen

I’m very much looking forward to bringing my traditional Rhumb Line Wednesday into your home. When we go live, please feel free to tune in, get comfy, pour yourself a cocktail and make believe you’re here with me. Love to you’z ~ Fly
A SPECIAL NOTE: Allen Estes has just now suggested (and I agree) that logistics are more than delicate when it comes to safely sharing space and gear among multiple artists. For this reason, he has chosen to step down as guest, and I have chosen to eliminate the guest format entirely. Going forward, I’ll be performing these live stream shows exclusively as solo artist. It’s just the wise thing to do. Hope you agree. ~ Fly
My son loves the caprese. My mother in law loves the chicken salad. Great vodka cream sauce! I also grab their bread and sauce and dips at area supermarkets, too. Virgilio’s makes fresh bread next level. As in All. Day. Long.
Virgilio’s Bakery & Deli
“Bread of the Fishermen” since 1961 29 Main Street, Gloucester, MA 01930 VirgiliosBakery.com
Alexandra’s Bread, 265 Main St, Gloucester, MA 01930
Call the day before for your favorite loaves, rolls, cookies, scones and other sweet treats. They have been busy and selling out, and can make more if they know the orders ahead of time. A surprise at this time: people have been buying new dish towels and vintage ware (washable!), and greeting cards to go.
What’s your favorite bread at Alexandra’s?
p.s. If it lasts that long, their french bread freezes well and makes fantastic overnight french toast.

Hey, I am sewing masks for the folks on the front line…I just have to do something for this crisis. I have heard different opinions as to how much it helps but most say it is better than nothing. Many folks are doing this in my area so the craft stores are out of elastic. Does anyone have some I can have? Even on Amazon it is going to take weeks to get. Anyone wanna join me? I have lots of fabric to donate. LMK. Stay safe.
Hours for March SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS. Please call first. (603) 359-2713

These are unprecedented times, and we must be both brave and prudent. Recently we have seen that our special places have become sanctuaries for those seeking safe spaces to get out of their homes, to occupy their families, to get exercise, to spend time with animals, to practice social distancing with acreage to spare. We are grateful to provide these opportunities, for the chance to serve in both times of leisure and in times of stress.
Thus, with today’s announcement from Governor Charlie Baker to suspend all non-essential businesses, we are saddened to announce that we will comply with this advisory by closing all Trustees properties beginning tomorrow, March 24 until April 7. All staff who are not involved in the care and maintenance of agricultural production and necessary operational care will be at home. All gates and parking lots will be closed and we ask the public to respect these barriers. We will continue to operate our agricultural operations in compliance with the guidelines issued for the care and feeding of animals, and the production and distribution of food. Our farms will only be available for the pick-up of food products.
We recognize that many of our properties are without gates and are within safe walking distance from others and could be safely visited within the parameters of the Governor’s directive. We ask that those who choose to visit those properties be respectful, follow guidelines about litter, safety, and dog behavior. We understand that these changes will feel dire to many who have come to rely on the daily use of our properties. We ask that everyone comply with the Governor’s orders, that you respect the closures of our properties, and that you keep your families and others safe during this unpredictable time.
Despite our closures, we will continue to pay all staff. We are available to answer emails and questions, can process Memberships and gifts made online, and we are working to creating virtual resources that you can enjoy at home.
Thank you for understanding how difficult this decision was. When we receive word from officials that it is safe to gather, we look forward to welcoming all back to our special places.

I mean, I’ve been kind of wondering what all of the sports networks would be covering during these long weeks, but I didn’t give it much thought. But then Sunday night I found my husband watching “Dodge Juggle.” What? So, I had to look into it. You’ve all probably heard about it…but, I hadn’t.
Turns out it’s a thing….and it was part of ESPN8: The Ocho’s all day line up of sports…. “seldom seen sports” as ESPN affectionately calls them. I’m so sad I missed much of the line up, but maybe you can find it on demand. I listed all of the events included in The Ocho below…along with some videos from a few of the competitions.
Straight out of “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” and in an attempt to fill the void for viewers in need of competitive sports content, ESPN is bringing back ESPN8: The Ocho with “a full 24 hours of seldom seen sports” programming Sunday on ESPN2, the network announced Thursday.
This will be the fourth version of ESPN8: The Ocho since 2017, inspired by the 2004 movie starring Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor and the late Rip Torn as Dodgeball legend Patches O’Houlihan.
Some of the self-explanatory events scheduled for Sunday include the Stupid Robot Fighting League, Jelle’s Marble Runs, Cherry Pit Spitting, Sign Spinning and World Sport Cup Stacking championships, as well as events in Cornhole, axe throwing, arm wrestling Spikeball, putt-putt golf and stone skipping.
Yes, there even will be a Dodgeball tournament involving teams from the United States and Canada, although it’s unclear if it will feature Peter LeFleur (played by Vaughn) and his Average Joe’s Gymnasium squad pitted against White Goodman (portrayed by Stiller) and his Globo Gym.
