Thomas Merton Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

“The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.”
Thomas Merton (1915-1968)

Born in France to an American Quaker mother and an Anglican father from New Zealand, Merton was raised in several different countries, moving often, especially after his mother’s death when he was six and then his father’s death when he was sixteen. Although agnostic as a young man, he was increasingly drawn to the Catholic Church, despite an almost libertine period in which he may have fathered a child. He was confirmed in 1939 after receiving advanced degrees from Cambridge and Columbia Universities.

Merton entered the Gethsemani Monastery in Kentucky in 1941, and began a life of contemplation and writing resulting in the autobiographical work The Seven Storey Mountain, often cited as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. His interest in other religions and his friendship with the Dalai Lama, D. T Suzuki, Chatral Rinpoche and other spiritual leaders opened the doors of comparative study to many who seek understanding through self-examination.

12 Years Of Gloucester Vacation Sunrises From Nancy Garland Mattern

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro


Hi Joey,

Here is a collection of sunrises I have photographed during our last twelve years of summer vacations in Gloucester. The photos were taken mostly on my iPhone, so the quality varies. We missed the summer of 2013 because we took the family on an Alaska cruise for our 50th anniversary, but otherwise we have spent 2 weeks in Gloucester every June or July for the last dozen years. We can see the sun rise from our bedroom in the house that we rent, so I (and whichever of my daughters and grandchildren want to join me) go traipsing down to the beach at 4:30 AM or so. This summer we had an amazing sunrise double rainbow. I have seen some folks contributing sunsets and so forth, and thought you might like to see these.

Best wishes from New Mexico,

Nancy Garland Mattern

2015 Subaru Share the Love Event to Benefit Meals on Wheels

Gloucester, MA — As part of a national partnership with Meals on Wheels America, Subaru will donate $250 to the purchaser’s choice of a participating charity – one of which is Meals on Wheels – for every new vehicle sold or leased from November 19, 2015, through January 2, 2016. Since the Share the Love Event began in 2008, Subaru and its participating retailers have donated more than 1.2 million meals, safety checks and friendly visits to seniors being served by local Meals on Wheels programs across the country.

SeniorCare Inc.’s Meals on Wheels program brings a daily meal right to the door for frail and homebound elders, Monday through Friday. Menus are designed by nutrition experts to meet the needs of older adults and are prepared by a professional caterer.  In addition, homebound elders have a daily interaction with the delivery team—sometimes their only human contact that day.

Tuna Assassin Jimmy Santapaola was kind enough to bring me some tuna steaks from his latest trip, landed less than 24 hours ago, I’ve got them cut into one inch mini steaks and into an overnight marinade.
wpid-20151114_130158-01.jpeg

The marinade consisted of-

A Bottle of Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce

A Turn In the Bowl of Chili Oil and Japanese Sesame Oil

A Very Generous Amount of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (I like stuff spicy)

A Half a Tablespoon of Granulated Garlic

A Cup Of Light Brown Sugar

wpid-20151114_130125.jpg

Put a third of the marinade in a heavy duty freezer bag, added tuna, added another third marinade, added a third of the tuna, and then the rest so its covered and placed in fridge overnight.

Tuna has absorbed most of the marinade and I’m going to lay it out on the smoker racks…
