You can come as an observer, join in a meditation, enjoy a Reiki Session, participate in some or all of the evening and enjoy the sense of peace, comfort and calm that Reiki provides. Reiki can best be described by the experience. Physicians participating in an introduction to Reiki at a Boston hospital enjoyed sample sessions and described their experience as “calming,” “interesting” and even “remarkable.”

Poor Minion Never Had A Chance…
Dogs being dogs…
See, this is what happens when dog owners leave the house. Dogs just humping everything in sight. Even the poor Minion gets violated. Goddamned dog owners, so naive and shit. Awww isn’t he cute, he just wants to play. Awwwww look at the widdle puppy playing with the Minion. See how nice they play together?
Next thing you know the Minon’s walkin’ around funny with an ice pack strapped to it’s butt.
Hammer time. By Jesus that dog was relentless. Cut to next scene- stuffing flying everywhere.
and y’all wonder why I have a healthy fear of canines.
Oh and another thing, listen to the dog owners laughing. That’s how it always is. Dogs be humping your leg or jumping all over you with muddy paws or licking you and their owners are laughing the whole time.

John Hickey Brown was born in Hartford, CT in 1955 and currently resides in Melrose, MA. He
attended the University of Hartford and received a BA in English Literature from Charter Oak
College in 1981. He worked in the graphic arts field for over twenty‐five years.
While having no formal art training, he has received instruction from Boston artist, Jason Polins,
and has regularly attended the drop‐in classes and workshops of well‐known Gloucester painter
and teacher, David Curtis.
He is an associate member of the Rockport Art Association and the North Shore Arts
Association in Gloucester. He enjoys participating in local events, such as Paint Essex and the art
auction at the Sawyer Free Library.
He paints landscapes in oil, primarily en plein air. He draws inspiration from the landscape of
New England and from the great tradition of American impressionist painters, especially those
who were drawn to Cape Ann.
“We are so happy to be able to welcome another local artist to our Gloucester branch. This
program has proven to be a very popular one in the Gloucester community – with local citizens
and visitors, alike,” noted Bank President, Russ Cole.
About the program:
One artist’s work is scheduled to be shown every three months; Mr. Brown’s work will be
displayed through October 2015. A reception is planned at the branch on Friday, September 18
from 1:00‐4:00PM to offer you the opportunity to meet John and learn more about his work.

Daily #GloucesterMA Schooner Festival Update 8/26/15
Ron Gilson submits-
Ben Pine’s name was a household word in the days of sail- the illustrious 1920s. Piney said that the Essex built Schooner Columbia “Was the finest piece of wood to ever show her highs out of Gloucester.” Schooner Columbia was lost prematurely off Sable Island only a few years after her launching. She was the best that Essex built and Gloucestermen sailed schooner in the history of dorymen.
You can see from the photo Ron took this morning that on the tombstone of Ben Pine it depicts the beautiful Schooner Columbia.
Come down to Maritime Gloucester (23 Harbor Loop, downtown Gloucester) to celebrate the arrival of the schooner Columbia on Thursday, August 27, at 10am. All attendees will be entered into a raffle for a free 2015 Schooner Festival Hat and Schooner Festival T-Shirt! (must be present during the drawing to win)
Help us welcome the Columbia is proper Gloucester style!
Thanks!!!!
