Stupidest Thing I Did Today
Went to grab a sub at the supermarket as I was in a hurry and on the way out of the store picked up a bag of Doritos.
I haven’t eaten a bag of Doritos for at least a year.
I feel disgusting.
What a waste of calories. Empty- disgusting- make your breath bad- disgusting calories.
Idiot.
What makes it worse was just last week when I took Snoop Maddie Mad out for some special father-daughter time we were at a restaurant and this guy with pleated dress slacks and a royal blue shirt sits down next to us with his dinner- two hot dogs, two cans of regular pepsi and a bag of chips. The guy was a total mess with greasy hair and a huge gut and slight shoulders- just carried all his weight like a tire made out of crisco right around his waist.
All I could think of was how the guy had totally given up on life. No pride, not even trying. Like if it was one hot dog, one can of regular soda and a bag of chips that would have been one thing. But nooo, straight up two hot dogs, two cans of soda and a bag of chips. I’m sorta surprised he didn’t double up on the chips. May as well at that point, right? Like if you’re trying to kill yourself live it up man, just fill out the two way shit trifecta and double up all the way around.
Seriously. Two hot dogs, two cans of sugar-laden pepsi and a bag of chips? Have some respect for yourself. You know the whole your body is a temple saying and all that?
I shoulda known better than to pick up that bag of Doritos.
I won’t make that mistake again any time soon. Believe that!
Stupid Joey

This is GMG’s 26,000th Post
Screenshot from the Good Morning Gloucester editing Dashboard-
26,000 Posts.
Wrap your mind around that one.
That’s like 26,000 pages of a novel that you’ve had access to for nothing. If you consider we post an average of one food post per day for all these days that’s thousands and thousands of basically bringing you the best food offered in these parts and showing you what local restaurant to get them.
If you consider one or two art posts per day that’s thousands and thousands of posts showing you all the fantastic artists and art happenings in our area.
If you consider the multiple music listings per day from Joanne, Peter and Vickie, that’s thousands and thousands of posts promoting local musicians and music events in our area.
If you consider the Did you know and old photographs and history in which we’ve connected the dots for you through the efforts of contributors like Fred Buck and Fred Bodin, Geno Mondello, Al Bezanson, that’s thousands and thousands of historical posts about our area.
If you consider the landscape photos bringing you daily the geographic natural and urban beauty that our area offers us in all four seasons that’s thousands upon thousands of posts.
And all never having asked a dime. Doing it for the love of helping those in our community- businesses, artists, musicians, athletes, photographers.
I couldn’t be prouder of our team.
26 MF THOUSAND!!!

Two Buddies Show Photos by Anthony Marks
Thank you so much to everyone that came out to support EJ and my show at Alchemy. Thank you Anna and James Eves from Cape Ann Giclee for their quick turnaround and super high quality work creating my photos into canvas wraps (you don’t have to be a professional photographer to visit James and Anna at 20 Maplewood Ave and have a canvas wrap of your work created)
I’m really proud of the work. Really proud of it.
Unfortunately we had a boat that stayed out lobstering past the time that the show ran so I could only manage to stop in to say hi in between offloading lobster boats and didn’t get out of work til after the show was over. For the brief time I could stop in it was great to see many of our FOB’s and people from the Gloucester Education Fund who 10% of the proceeds of the sale of our work at Alchemy will go to.
if anyone else has photos from our opening could you send them in to goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com I know Charlie Carroll was snapping away and Jason Grow was taking photos as well. I’d love to see what I missed.

Db submits- NPR on Edward Hopper
Just came across this piece on WBUR about a photographer who has produced a book of photographs of the houses that Edward Hopper painted in Gloucester.
“Photographer Gail Albert Halaban spent her childhood summers in Gloucester, Mass., a small seaside town where her father was born.
…Halaban’s photos of Gloucester are now on display at New York City’s Edwynn Houk Gallery. She also has a new book out, called Out My Window.”

Tom Fraser Remembers George Cabral
Hi Joey,
I’m a lost Glosta boy living south of town now and always wishing I was back home. Good Morning Gloucester makes me feel like I am still there. This pic of my "old boss" was taken in 2002 on a Yankee Fleet fishing adventure. But in 1965 I was growing up on Rocky Neck and working summers on the Dolphin with Capt Sherm and his dog Ginger… And George. I was 12 years old. It was the Rocky Neck Sport Fishing Dock then and the were right there at the Railways. I baited hooks, gutted fish on the way back in for tips and got a dollar for washing down the boat. I hadn’t seen George since then but he looked the same to me now and in 2002 as he did in 1965. Thanks for the memories.
