Hi Joey,
Although I really do try, I can’t stop myself from pulling off the road to take sunset pictures. I am constantly amazed by the variation of beauty this planet gives by spinning around. How lucky we are!
Best-
Janet, Sunset Addict

Hi Joey,
I’d like to share some photos of a cold day at the Cox House (Essex Green Belt) on Rt 133 in Essex (just before the Blue Marlin on the Right). It’s a great spot along the Essex River, with nice pathways for walking and bird walking. Very dog friendly. There was an artist there painting when we were there today. Even on a cold day it is a beautiful spot.

Handel’s Messiah, one of the best-know and most frequently performed choral works in Western music, was originally an Easter offering first performed at the Musick Hall in Dublin on April 13, 1742. On Christmas Day in 1818 the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston performed Messiah and since that time it has become a perennial Christmas favorite. And now it has become a biennial tradition for Chorus North Shore.

The Lovely Cookie Ladies At The 2013 Seacoast Holiday Fair
You would not believe how many incredible cookies were made for the fair. Nice turnout where 100% of the money goes back to the residents.
I happen to know these beautiful women and they’re even sweeter than the cookies.

Cape Ann Farmer’s Market Harvest Festival at The UU Was Packed! (and I scored some of my favorite pickles)
This is a must attend event every year. Wish it happened every week or every other!
Just another wild weekend in Gloucester with only 50 or so community events happening around town to choose from.
You know those people who say there’s nothing to do around here? They really ought to be committed to the funny farm.

Community Stuff 11/24/13
The Gloucester Area Astronomy Club is pleased to host two wonderful presentations at the December 13 meeting, one by Steve Kolaczkowski, and another by Dr. Mario Motta. Steve K will open the meeting by showing us what’s in store for us in the winter sky, from planets to galaxies to star clusters and nebulae; Steve will be followed by Dr. Motta’s presentation on the strange journey of one of his giant telescope optics.
The large mirror, 1/3 the size of the Hubble primary (!), was designed as part of a satellite before it became the primary optic for Mario’s first big telescope. When he made another large telescope for his Gloucester observatory, Mario donated the mirror to a facility in Italy where it is now being used for spectroscopy.
Come on out and enjoy Mario’s remarkable optical saga, Steve’s fun and informative look at what’s up, and the usual (and some not so usual) good things to eat and drink, and great conversation.
The public is warmly invited. There are no dues or fees, and no special knowledge or equipment is needed to have a great time.
GAAC meets on the second Friday of the month at 8:00pm, at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Street, in the Lanesville neighborhood of Gloucester. More info can be found on the club website at http://gaac.us and on the club facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/gaacpage or on Twitter, @gaactweet.

George Carlin Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
“I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed”
George Carlin (1937-2008)
A five-time Grammy award winner, Carlin’s often dark humor can be heard on 20 albums, in six books, and appears in ten movies. A native New Yorker, he made his name on the Ed Sullivan Shoe and the Tonight Show, first with Jack Paar and later and even more frequently with Johnny Carson, for whom he often substituted as host. Carlin was the first host of Saturday Night Live. His best known routine was Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television, for which he was arrested and fined on several occasions. Liberal, brilliant, thoughtful and reflective, he took stand-up to a new level while supporting free speech and free thinking. He was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2008.

Dollar Shave Club Unboxing and Razor Video Review With Joey C From goodmorninggloucester.com
Best Razor I’ve Ever Used And It’s Not Even Close (‘cept the shave that is)…
The heft and solid feel of the handle they send you, the smoothness of the shave, the way lower cost. Dollar Shave Club IS AN ABSOLUTE NO BRAINER. It’s a downright luxurious shaving experience and it is one third the cost of buying Gillette Razors.
You can sign up, try it for one month and if you don’t like it cancel. There is no question in my mind that once you try it you won’t go back. Perfect stocking stuffer gift. $6

This was the original post which led me to ordering signing up for Dollar Shave Club about a week ago-
In light of my recent shaving disaster I’m taking my boy Rick Doucette’ (among other people’s) advice. Literally 7 different people emailed me today telling me how much they dig the dollar saving club service.
Rick Says These Razors Are Great and They Ship You 4 New Blades Each Month for $6 Including Shipping and Handling.
What a handsome son of a gun the Rick Doucette is.
So for $72 a year I’ll get 48 Blades. Way Less Than Gillette razors for the same quality shave. I get to toss the blades once a week and use a fresshie. They give you a free handle and if you don’t like the razors you simply quit without any obligation. No Brainer city baby.
I ordered the middle of the line razors-

How it Works
Are you ready to join the ranks of our enlightened membership?
Dollar Shave Club couldn’t be simpler. Select one of our great razors, pay one low monthly fee, and we send ‘em right to your door. No more over-paying for fancy brand name shave tech.
No more forgetting to buy your blades.
