My View of Life on the Dock
Chatting with new friend Joel Robert Poinsett who introduced to the US the flower now known as the Poinsettia. Seems he brought it back from Mexico when he served as the Minister to Mexico in 1825. Seemed to think there was little hope of my ever keeping a Poinsettia alive…
Home town baseball team is the Greenville Drive, part of the Red Sox organization. Pictured is what I could see of their “Green Monster” in left field at Fluor Filed.

Hi Joey!
Nice to have seen you down the dock! Congratulations on the wildly successful lobster fest. Your loyal FOB, Linda Colman
Joey,
From a British Car show today at Shaker Square near Cleveland, Ohio.

Huge Thanks To Our Boy Shewsberry!
Tremendous Colors on the new ones- and I’m All Out Of The Blue with the pink wing so if you have one of those they are now collectors items.

Who knew GMG would be in Auburn ME for the festival!! Actually, I forgot my GMG sticker and hat so I could truly represent from the festival, but thought this might work instead!

Chief Samuel George, of the Bear Clan of the Cayuga Nation, represents with his wife Debbie. They live in Cuba, NY, and will be vacationing here on Cape Ann next summer. I guess this is the first Chief and head of state to visit my gallery. Perhaps he’s also the first American Indian Chief to own the sticka. All Hail to the Chief!
In talking to the Chief, I could tell that this was a wise and gracious man. He wanted to know about Dogtown’s history and of local native Americans. I told him what I learned from Elyssa East’s book, www.dogtownthebook.com/elyssa–east, and how the Dogtown residents left because of raids during the French and Indian War. Then I explained how Dogtown is now: Big, wildly overgrown with few marked trails thru the jungle, and is very easy to get lost in. Chief Samuel George softly remarked: “That’s good.” Makes you think…

While taking pictures of my son and friends at Lanes cove i encountered a gentleman that asked if i would take a photo of the bottom of his kayak and send it to you…He said you would know who he was.
Representing in Times Square recently with my new GMG hat.
See that NYPD Cruiser? That is John’s personal police detail to keep the lady folk from attacking him when donning the cap.
I can’t explain the phenomenon, just happens when dude’s put it on. Who am I to question the powers the cap possesses?
Lady killers, monster fishermen, they all know the swagger that comes once it hits your noggin. Straight swagger homie!
Dear Joey,
My oldest childhood friend, Ron Gelineau, (we were tossed from CCD class for chuckling at “the burning bush”)
is in town on vacation with his wife Melanie and daughter Regan. You may have seen
him hanging around your parking lot ’cause he’s a die hard GMG fan and Gloucester resident wannabe.
We were at Capt’ Carlo’s for dinner last night (fab eats, BTW! Ask for “Carl”. Great waiter!) when I told him about the “new hats”. Well, he had to have one. So, I whipped mine outta’ the trunk for a photo op. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do a group
photo as we only have 1 hat. So, please order more hats so Ronny and I can both have one. (Ronny’s got mine!)
Best,
Kenny MacCarthy
Here we are with my niece at the Hair Museum–yes, it’s the only one in the world (no wonder). And you thought Gloucester had everything! If you’re really curious here’s the link: http://www.leilashairmuseum.net/
Sending all of you our very best wishes for a wonderful August and never letting a day go by without time on GMG,
Ann & Bob Kennedy
Hey Joey,
On a recent road trip (totaling over 3,300 miles round trip) to Minnesota, I thought I could shed some light on this little known fact about a widely know river.
The Mississippi River starts from Lake Itasca, MN when it simply flows over a merely 12 foot wide rock barrier to my left in the picture. From there, “THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI BEGINS TO FLOW ON IT’S WINDING WAY 2552 MILES TO THE GULF OF MEXICO.”

Joey,
Hubby and I love the new hat. I think we will have to have another so we won’t fight over it. Lol. Representing today at Kasey Key,Fl.
I am forwarding another pic of hubs at the Crows Nest (southern version) in Venice Beach, Fl next to an incredible stained glass window of The Man at the Wheel.
We may be Floridians but Gloucester lives in our hearts! See ya’ next month.
Best, Sharon St Clair-King
Crows Nest in Venice Beach, Fl
Good stuff right there!!!!!
Three Generations Represent
Grandmother Eileen Donovan of Gloucester, Cheryl Baressi and her daughter Elizabeth Hynes (both from Brookline), represented in my gallery today. It astonishes me how nice people are, and are willing to be photographed for my FB and GMG. They leave with the sticka, and they’ll always remember us.
Hella good looking caps only enhanced by the hella good looking peeps wearing them!

Joey,
I spent 4 days in New Hampshire with New England Handicapped Sports Association, a great bunch of Veterans and all the volunteers which made the event run smoothly. The Vets were amazing in their intensity, encouragement and support for each other …and partying! Emotions run high for team wins but also for individual accomplishments regardless of finishing order. It’s a wonderful fellowship that draws more veterans each year for competition in kayaking, bicycling, shooting, waterskiing, geo-caching and fly fishing. I was asked to help photograph the event and I was blown away with all I saw, heard and learned. Given the chance I will be back in a heartbeat! The GMG Baseball hat was a hit and there may be a few new subscribers!

Hi Joey,
The hat got here just in time (almost) for my husband Reggie’s birthday. He was surprised and thrilled with it and wore it to Salisbury Beach today. Reggie is a Gloucester native and we both follow your blog daily. Thanks for keeping us in touch.
