Hi Joey-

As I review the photos I took in Iceland I find that I love the new Camera you suggested even more. The clarity of the road and the mountains seen in the side view mirror of this shot are fantastic.  I am thanking you every day!

So good to be back in Gloucester this week, even through the Nor’easter.  Caught a couple of pictures today at the draw bridge.  Fascinated with the house boat coming through the channel with its little chimney puffing out smoke.  Took yet another sunset picture with my iPhone at Niles Beach.  Enjoyed a delightful walk with EJ through Annisquam Village around twilight.  As usual, we loved our time here and will miss it all in the coming months.  The only problem is that I just can’t seem to get enough lobster while we are here. 

Blessings, Linda rae and Rob Castagna

I am continuing to do Good Morning Milford (Facebook) for the merchants of our town, thanks to your on-going inspiration.  It filled an important role during the New Jersey and Delaware River Valley hurricane.  We have never had such a venue before and it served to share alerts as the town officials gave me the updates as soon as they had them.  Countless people without electric, water, and heat.  BUT many had smart phones so the could be updated and informed for their safety.  I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be involved in such an endeavor.  Worth every moment of my time.  It is a wonderful feeling to encourage one another with our businesses and life in general.

Harold Burnham Roast From Len Burgess

Friday night’s pot-luck dinner and "Roast of Harold Burnham" to benefit the Essex Shipbuilding Museum was a hilarious success. Plenty of delicious food, a chance to catch up with old friends and enjoy the many funny stories at Harold’s expense. This was a much needed fund raiser for the Museum and we thank all who attended, the many volunteers and, of course, Harold Burnham for allowing it all to happen.

Here’s a link for the photos and captions on ESM facebook.  -Len Burgess

Hi Joey,

B had a chance to sign the windmill blade over the weekend, so he signed his name with a  sketch of General Grievous, just under Sefatia’s Sig.  These blades are HUGE by the way – and the must have built a special trailer just to transport them…

Enjoy!

Roger Torre Baiting Turkeys For Thanksgiving

Brilliant!

Who needs some store bought steroid laden Turkey when you can bait ‘em in your back yard?  Just sprinkle a little seed around and when they least suspect it on Thanksgiving Eve pop a cap in their ass!


Roger Torre submits-

Hi Joey,

I spread a little bird seed around the bird feeder for the chipmunks and squirrels and now turkeys…   Put your Thanksgiving order for your fresh bird:

The Hurricane Sandy Project…from Angela Cook

The Hurricane Sandy Project…

Angela writes-

You never know what you will find when you visit the sea, and yesterday was no exception. Imagine my surprise when I was shooting pictures and there in the rocks was a bright green object. Of course, I needed to investigate and found this little sea horse … Written on it was “The Hurricane Sandy Project” with instructions to sign, take photos then throw it back into the sea… so I willingly obliged.

Hi Joe,

Recently had the chance to photo the "babe" as she steams out of the Annisquam river where it was docked at the Cape Ann Marina for the hurricane last week.   We took it up river for storm protection from Sandy last week.   Worked out well, no damage.

Toby Keith and Dylan Estes at the BMI Country Music Awards in Nashville

They talked about music, songwriting, touring — and who knows what else.  What deal do you think they sealed with that handshake?  Maybe we’ll see Toby Keith on an upcoming Local Music Seen with Allen Estes show on Cape Ann TV next time he’s in New England.  Stay tuned  . . .
