Dog Bar Mediterranean Plate
I wonder if I could get those guys to make a big enough batch that I could just dive into that hummus and eat my way out. So Goddamn Good! Dog Bar doesn’t get nearly enough publicity for their food. They do a fantastic job.

Peg O’Malley Wants You To Know That Addison Gilbert Hospital is in Imminent Danger
Addison Gilbert Hospital is in imminent danger
NOW is the time YOU must act.
This coming Tuesday, April 26 at 7PM at Gloucester City Hall
Presentation to City Council by Peg O’Malley RN
Partners for Addison Gilbert Hospital
Northeast Health (owner of Beverly Hospital and AGH) is actively involved in negotiations for a sale or merger with NO GUARANTEES that a full-service ER at AGH will be preserved. Their final decision on which organization (Lahey, BI/Deaconess, Vanguard, or Steward) to go with is expected within a matter of weeks.
That decision will determine if AGH lives or dies. We must make it crystal clear to all "players" that AGH must remain open with all the services we need.
The Gloucester City Council and Mayor Kirk, along with the Rockport Selectmen and Citizens at the Town Meeting, have recently passed and sent (to Northeast Trustees, the Attorney General, the Commissioner of Public Health, and the four potential "partners") resolutions demanding a written guarantee,from Northeast and any future owner, that at a minimum, all 8 services legally required for a full service ER at AGH will be protected.
Now, It’s YOUR turn.
By being at City Hall Tuesday night, you will demonstrate to Northeast and everyone else, that the people of Cape Ann stand united in demanding that AGH will be protected.
You don’t want to wake up someday soon to read in the Gloucester Times that AGH is closing and ask "Why didn’t anybody tell me?" You’ve been warned while you can still DO SOMETHING about it.
Because this is a presentation, the Council’s rules dictate that I’m the only one allowed to speak about AGH at this meeting. I will certainly ask that an OPEN MEETING for EVERYONE to speak on AGH be scheduled very soon. I urge each of you to personally contact the City Councilors to make the same request.
Bring your kids, your spouse, your relatives, friends and neighbors. All Cape Ann people should attend.

T. S. Eliot Quote Of The Week From Greg Bover
April 19, 2011“April is the cruellest month” from The Wasteland, 1915
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965)
Though born in St. Louis , Eliot’s family had New England roots reaching back to the Salem witch trials and deep into Harvard yard. He attended Milton Academy and spent summers on Cape Ann (see The Dry Salvages), later studying at Harvard, Oxford , and the Sorbonne. In later life he renounced both Unitarianism and his American citizenship in favor of Anglicanism and the United Kingdom . Eliot is often cited as the greatest modern poet, and The Wasteland as one of the most important poems, of the 20th century.
PS As far as I can discover, Eliot spelled "cruelest" with two L’s in the original.
