"Glosta Skis" at Maine Adaptive Ski-A-Thon!
Hi Joey,
Brian Carlson (Gloucester Coast Guard Alum and Lover of All Things Gloucester) and myself were so very fortunate to be invited to participate in the 29th Annual Maine Adaptive Ski-A-Thon which is held each year at Sunday River. For all of us Gloucester Folk who enjoy skiing, Sunday River is our winter mountain hangout.
Our “Glosta Ski” team was organized by Liz Neumeier (second from left in Team Photo). She is an amazing Fundraiser and very active in our Gloucester Community, most prominently with the Gloucester Stage Company
We needed one more member for our team and this lovely young woman, Julie, asked to join us. Julie was born with only one leg. She – with much enthusiasm – told us that she didn’t have a “disability” just a “different ability”. Man, can she ski!
I pulled out a bunch of lobster buoys from my trash bag (nice touch!) to use as props for the Costume Contest. Explaining that I was not sure how I planned to use them, Julie promptly picked one up and attached it to her belt – see photo. She laughed and we all laughed with her! It was quite a moment and the three of us followed her example and decorated ourselves with the buoys. We had one left over, and Brian made this into “the baby”. Julie won First Prize for Best Individual Costume. She was so much fun and said, “You guys, can I be on Glosta Skis Team next year, too?”
We all have handicaps of some sort, not one of us gets out of this Life unscathed. Isn’t it ALL about how we adapt to them?
It was a very uplifting and emotional event. I am so proud that Gloucester was represented!
Thank you once again for all that you do!
Cheers!

Where do you fall on the Whole Colbert/Park Thing
Anyone who has watched The Colbert Report more than once understands that his whole schtick revolves around being outlandishly satirical. This woman Suey Park claimed to have been a fan of the show for years but took offense to a bit he did in which he was poking fun of the Redskins owner for offering up a token amount of gifting to Native American Indians just after he said he would be sticking with the name some considered racist (The Washington Redskins). She started an internet petition to get The Colbert Report TV Show cancelled unless he apologized. So Colbert making fun of The Redskins owner satirically was lost on this woman, or was it? Did she not get the satire or did she see the opportunity to raise a big stink even though deep down she knew it was satire, the same satire he had used to poke fun at politicians for over a decade. Here’s more on that-
-
Yahoo Sports (blog) – by Jay Busbee – 6 days ago
I don’t expect my mom to get the joke. But someone that young and someone that supposedly has watched the show for years has to get it. Read the quote and tell me that that is a serious statement that anyone not using satire would use on national television. 
You probably know where I fall on this- Just another person that uses the internet to bully using political correctness and in this case it’s even more ridiculous because the victim, Colbert was using the example to make fun of the very same type of racism that you would think she would rail against. She’s no idiot, she knows this, but her desire to get “internet famous” is more important to her than recognizing publicly that he was poking fun of people she would consider racist. If she’d watched the Colbert Report for all the years she did like she claimed there’s no way she didn’t understand his whole act of making outlandish statements to poke fun at the ones who would actually say them and mean them.
This tweet from Brad Fitzgerald-
Stupid people make me angry. #cancelcolbert. Satire is meant to highlight ignorance, but when you take it seriously, you just look stupid.
I don’t think Suey Park is stupid. I think she completely understands that The Colbert Report was making fun of Dan Snyder but her desire to gain notoriety is more powerful than her desire to recognize that fact.
