Joe,
My girls are in the Holiday Delights Play at the Gloucester Stage Company Dec 15-18th put on by Heidi Dalin. Not sure if you’ve ever gone, but I highly recommend you bring your girls. It’s really, really well done and a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
Heidi probably already contacted you, but would be great if you could mention it this week for people to pre-purchsase their tickets before Dec 15-18th plays. Image attached.
Hope to see you there.

Saturday Morning’s Full Moon
Christy Juckett writes-
Hi Joey,
After reading GMG this morning and Paul’s note about an eclipse, I ran out with my camera and got shots from Niles Beach. The sliver was due to clouds and not the eclipse – this is what Wiki said: "The eclipse will occur Saturday morning, before sunrise over North America, and the moon will set before the eclipse is completed. Only Alaska and northern most Canada will be able to witness the entire event."
The graininess is from low-light & an old camera – no photoshop here!
Enjoy!

Placing Jennifer Aniston as The Hottest Woman of All Time Is Ridiculous
Mens Health magazine names Jennifer Aniston as the world’s all time sexiest woman and I have no idea whatsoever kind of crack they were smoking at the time they came up with this.
I’m not saying she’s unattractive at all but when you’re gonna put out the “all time world’s hottest woman” you lose all credibility in my eyes when you go with America’s sweetheart.
When you say sexy you think- Marilyn Monroe, Salma Hayek, Raquel Welch, Ardriana Lima, you don’t put up some skinny ass broad with no curves.
Dumb.
Men’s Health=zero credibilty.
