Tony Gross Comes Through Again With His Famous Swedish Coffee Bread
Posted on December 24, 2010 by Joey C
Every year Tony makes Frank and I a loaf of his much sought after Swedish coffee bread. I’m afraid to open it because once you eat the first bite i can’t stop til that whole sucker is gone. (I’m not sure if he puts heroin in it, the stuff is so damn addicting).

Tony Gross’ Swedish Coffee Bread
Posted on December 21, 2009 by Joey C
Every Christmastime Tony Gross, the skipper of the lobsterboat F/V Sandollar makes a ridiculous number of Swedish Coffee Bread loaves and gives them out to friends. I made the mistake and called it Nisu but because the recipe comes from an elder in Tony’s family he insists it be called Swedish Coffee Bread.
It’s delicious and best eaten within a day of cooking. I sure am glad I’m on the list of those who get one every year!

Parents of Lost Fishermen Write A Note Of Thanks
Wally and Carol Gray of Deer Isle, Maine write-
I wanted to take a moment to thank each and everyone who attended the vigil for the lost fisherman, and of course the special attention paid to the two recent fishermen lost at sea from Deer Isle. Wallace “Chubby” Gray II, our baby boy, and Wayne Young, a devoted family man and husband. Again, thank you very much everyone for your support and loving words. God Bless.

Representing GMG X 4
Yesterday, four siblings came into the gallery. They are (l-r) Alex (Boston), Anthony (Bronx), Sarah (Boston), and Elizabeth (Raleigh, NC). They were looking for a present for their Mom, Joanne Leary, who teaches Yoga at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center and at the Glosta YMCA. They bought three maps from my MAP collection: Nahant, Peabody, and Gloucester, all from 1872. Why? Because their mother, Joanne, has lived in all three towns, and settled here. Welcome Joanne and your beautiful children! Merry Christmas and God Bless.

A Guitar Players’ Christmas Poem For GMG From Jon Butcher
Hi Joey,
I humbly offer for your review this Christmas wish for my dear friends in Gloucester. Disclaimer; as you’ll discover the legacy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is still intact and need fear nothing from me as a poet- and I won’t be quitting my day job either !
Anyway Merry Christmas to you, your family and to everyone at GoodMorning Gloucester !
Sincerely, Jon Butcher

A Guitar Players’ Christmas Poem
by Jon Butcher
Time is short
so I’ll say it simply-
Remember when we were young
all fresh-faced and pimply ?
Days were forever
possibilities limitless
We believed in stuff
even Old St Nicholas
Now we have houses
and kids of our own
mortgages and utilities
at least one iPhone
But the special times
the memories we hold
Keep us young at heart
the best remedy for feeling old
So I offer this wish
at the same time each year
Hold on to your dreams
and be of good cheer
If Wishes were Fishes
they’d swim in the Deep
Merry Christmas to All-
now let’s all get some sleep.

Edmund Burke Quote of The Week
December 20, 2012
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Attributed to Edmund Burke, (1729-1797)
Known as the Father of Conservatism, Burke, a native of Dublin and longtime Member of Parliament, was supportive of the American Revolution but condemned the French Revolution for its excesses. He wrote extensively on the role of government and was widely praised for his ability to clarify philosophical issues.
This quote, made popular by John Kennedy and attributed by him to Burke, is a good example of how difficult it can be to pin down exactly who said what several hundred years ago. According to The Quote Investigator, who often refers to The Quote Verifier by Ralph Keyes, it is likely that it may have been first pronounced in similar form by the Reverend Charles Aked, but is also attributed to Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill and others. As with many of the quotable sentiments of the famous it has its roots in scripture, and expresses an ancient recognition that it is the duty of persons of good will to act, not merely to hope.

Video- Una Furtiva Lagrima from Carlo Vogele
Forwarded by FOB Charlie Carrol-
Carlo Vogele writes-
I shot this little musical film in my kitchen over a few weeks in late 2011. It is the result of my passion for beautiful sad opera songs and my interest in the tragic destiny of a fish.
It’s been in festivals this year, touring Annecy, Hiroshima, Ottawa, Telluride and more. It is also part of the 14th Animation Show of Shows. You can visit the blog for more making of pics and film info : furtivalagrimafilm.blogspot.com/
