My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey
What’s with the wind turbines? Some days all three are motionless, another day only one is turning, today two of the three are in motion. Are the two in motion generating power for Gloucester Engineering and Varian, and what about the motionless one with the blade so many of us signed? Will that be providing power for Gloucester’s municipal buildings? If so when? I’d like an update about the “three wise men” towering over Gloucester.
Thanks Mary Page
I’m gonna spare y’all the nasty photograph of my armpit hair but I have a burning question that can only be answered with a thoroughly scientific GMG reader poll.
As I get older my armpit hair much like my nose hair is growing wildly out of control. It’s disgusting. While I regularly maintain the growth in my nose hair, crazy weird wayward eyebrow hairs and manscape my junk I’m a little leery about trimming my armpit hair.
I don’t think as a man you want to take that armpit hair down to the skin like a woman but do guys regularly trim their armpit hair? I’m reaching out because I honestly don’t know and I don’t want to create a monster if I get started and then the stuff grows back three times more thickly and suddenly my armpits look like a really bad 70’s porno coochie.
Just taking off my shirt and *POOF* strike people with a big ol’ 70’s porno bush. *KAPLOWIE*
So male GMG folk, how do you handle your armpit hair situation? Do you trim away a little to keep in manageable? Do you shave it right down like a Georgia peach? Do you let the stuff grow proud and braid it occasionally?
What is your armpit hair management situation if any?
Joey,
I took these pretty pictures today, January 4th, 2013, in Lanesville
around 4:15 p.m. as I was driving along the shore, and I thought I’d
share them with you.
It was a beautiful sunset, and I just had to get some pictures of it.
I have business occasionally in Rockport, and I drive back and forth to Beverly by way of Lanesville and Annisquam. The Gloucester coastline is such a beautiful and varied place, it always catches my eye.
Thanks,
Peter Dorsey

Are people this stupid that they will buy this book? I mean really. You can basically eat salmon, hummus or vegetables. It seems the whole premise of this diet book is based on how few items you can eat.
You can’t eat lobster. No deep water fish like cod or haddock, no coffee, no eggs, no beef, no dairy, no wheat, no wine, no alcohol, no sugar.
Brilliant!

Hi Joey,
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions that the Committee for the Arts has received from artists as they are going about applying for the Gloucester HarborWalk Public Art Challenge:
Topping the list: What if an artist has more than one proposal? What do they do?
Q: Can I propose more than one concept?
A: Yes. The Call specifies that artists may submit up to two (2) concept/proposals.For clarification, a submission may be submitted by a collaborative team, but each Artist may only be associated with up to two (2) proposals. However, do not enter two concepts in one proposal.
Q. Can I propose photography?
ALL MEDIA
We’re talking sculpture, murals, light installations, dance performance, theater, print edition, symphony, etc, etc
“With the footprint for this CALL, there are unlimited possible exhibition and unexpected and surprising spaces for the creative art(s) and other programming. The City of Gloucester encourages artists working in all creative arts to apply. There are no media restrictions: all media and art forms will be considered. Media and artforms for public art projects might include but are not limited to: visual art; place-making, singular event (e.g., sculpture, multi-media, interactive, illumination, integrated); temporary or ephemeral installations (e.g., panels, light, etc); performance work of all kind (e.g., symphony, dance, theater, spectacle/action within the footprint, etc) static or roving; participatory works; transformation of surfaces or extant structures; projection; event-based work; and environmentally-based work.”
The Cultural Center Exhibition Committee (CCEC) has planned an ambitious schedule of thirteen exhibitions for 2013 that includes three members-only shows—two of them juried. Your participation will guarantee that 2013 on Rocky Neck is a banner year. Join us to put Rocky Neck on the “must see” map in 2013!
Newly-minted “First-Annual”
We are offering a first annual “New-Members Show” for three-weeks, February 27-March 18. This exhibition introduces the work of members who joined the RNAC in 2012 and were not members for two years prior. There is still time for those interested in participating in this “first” to let us know via email to the CCEC by the end of December. art@rockyneckartcolony.org.
Calling all Curators
Included in the thirteen exhibitions a number that are available for your curatorial hand. The first proposed show is about to open. Organized by guest curator, Ruth Mordecai, “Expressive Painting” opens on New Year’s Eve, and continues through January 28. It features abstract works by a group of member and non-member artists.
RNAC members and non-members have the opportunity to design their own exhibition. For a copy of Proposal Guidelines to help you with your application or with any ideas or questions, please contact the exhibition committee at art@rockyneckartcolony.org
Be Prepared
Two juried shows are being planned. One, for members only, will be held July 10 through August 8 and represent all media. A second show, open to all artists, is scheduled for September 4-30 and will feature a nautical theme. Details including jurors, guidelines, and fees, will be announced shortly.
Looking forward to 2013 on Rocky Neck, where art and culture are never out of season.

I just don’t understand how freaking hard it is to install the equipment necessary to have wifi on all aircraft.
Wifi makes a flight go by what seems 3-4 times faster.
You know how airlines charge extra for checked luggage? In our case $25 more per bag on US Airways for a total of $50 for our one way flight. They should refund you for the total technological failure of not having wifi on all flights in the year 2013. The FAA should shut these goddamn airlines down that don’t have wifi. Fine the shit out of them. Ground these planes til they get their act together.
How is a media giant supposed to keep his finger on the bleeding edge of what is going on for his legions of loyal followers?
Listen, take a couple grease monkeys off safety check duty and get them up inside the cabin installing the necessary equipment to provide wifi. Cancel drink service for a couple weeks, use a lower grade toilet paper in the toilettes. Charge me up for the wifi, I don’t care. I’ll feel a whole lot better about paying for wifi rather than a checked bag, that’s fer shizzy.
Somebody get me a direct line to the CEO of US Air STAT, maybe I can explain to him or her just how important it is.
Bruce Tarr, Ann Margaret, forget about such pithy things like people losing their homes on Plum Island to major storms, let’s focus on much more critical agendas like making sure your boy Joey C has wifi on all his flights.
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.
Next politician that tackles this matter automatically gets my endorsement. Fiscal cliff, fiscal schmiff, let’s solve the important matters first. Calls for an emergency meeting of the executive branch, no?
Give me wifi on all aircraft or give me death. Enough dickin’ around.
Hey Linda be sure to say Hey to the Cat for me 
Joey- please post and re-post!! Thank you.REWARD!!!! STOLEN PANDA!
