This is the gate house to the Todaiji Shrine, also in Nara. The scale of this woodworking is awe inspiring. That fluorescent green dot is my adult son Nick.

JoAnn From Melrose Represents!

Dear Joey

We had your lobsters tonight and as we have done after every lobster we got from you, my husband and I  sprawled across our dining room chairs and said: OMG, that was the best (f___, you know the word) lobster I had in my life. We’ll be back for more real soon

One of Mamie’s Kitchen Lunch Specials-

Her cup of chicken & rice soup and "half" sandwich were delish. Thanks for your recommendation. I’m looking forward to chewing down tonight on the lobsters we bought from you!
Best,

Representing GMG X 4

Yesterday, four siblings came into the gallery. They are (l-r) Alex (Boston), Anthony (Bronx), Sarah (Boston), and Elizabeth (Raleigh, NC). They were looking for a present for their Mom, Joanne Leary, who teaches Yoga at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center and at the Glosta YMCA. They bought three maps from my MAP collection: Nahant, Peabody, and Gloucester, all from 1872. Why? Because their mother, Joanne, has lived in all three towns, and settled here. Welcome Joanne and your beautiful children! Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Jessica Represents! from Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

Hi Joey,

Got to spend the past week sailing around the BVIs.  Almost caught a lobster, too.  Here’s some pictures of The Baths at Devil’s Bay, Virgin Gorda.  Time for a new sticker, I think.  This one is showing its age. 

Cheers!

Awesomeness!!!!

Rick Terselic Represents! At The World Championship Punkin Chunkin Competition in Bridgeville, Delaware

Hi Joey:

Visited with you at Capt. Joe’s during Fiesta last summer.  I’m so thankful for all you do which allows me to keep current with happenings in Glosta.  Big shout out to Tom P. in The Fort & Erik H. in Annisquam! 

I’m fortunate to have joined the "Chunkin Up" team, and I brought my GMG sticker to World Championship Punkin Chunkin Competition in Bridgeville, Delaware this past weekend. 

Discovery Channel was there in force, so everyone will be able to see what happened later this month — usually around Thanksgiving.

Couldn’t help myself from yelling  "Chi Samiou Dute Mute? Viva San Pietro!" a few times, which lead to puzzled looks from team members… and later thinking that a pumpkin cannon built to resemble the Greasy Pole with a crew of costumed Sicilians could be a great idea for a future team?  Perhaps that deserves some consideration from Gloucester based Chunker engineers?

All the best, and keep on building the best blog on the planet!  We really do appreciate it.

Rick, Louise & Anthony Terselic in North Potomac, MD

Note to self: Road trip to the Punkin Chunkin Competition in Bridgeville, Delaware next year!  That looks like a whole lot of fun!!!!

Janet Rice Represents! In Iceland

Hi Joey-

I just returned from Iceland. I thought I would share their version of the Gloucester Fisherman Statue which, of course, it is a Viking Ship!

BTW-the new camera is awesome.

Sem Sutter Represents! in Friedrichstadt Germany

I’m an avid follower of GMG.  Here’s a pic of me representing in Friedrichstadt, a North German port city that was active in the 17th c. and is now quiet and picturesque.

We Got Germany Baby!  Thanks Sem!

As an aside- this may be the first time I’ve ever heard the name “Sem”.

I wonder if Sem’s partner when first laying eyes on Sem way back in the day said “Oh I gotta get me Sem o’ dat!”

Fred Bodin writes-

Saturday night I had a visit from these wonderful women, all from Cambridge and the North Shore. L-R: Lauren (granddaughter from Reading), Elaine (daughter hailing from Newburyport), Jean Ann (the Mom, from Lynnfield), Lynn (daughter on Rocky Neck), and Charlene (daughter in Cambridge). When I asked them to gather for a photo, they spontaneously picked up Jack Sullivan’s 48" gold leafed Cod. So Gloucester! They’re now friends of GMG and you’ll see them at my gallery events.

Roger Torre Represents! In Yellowstone

Hi Joey,

Just returned from a trip to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons with my brother (one of the pics) – the place is incredible – and just makes you respect the power of Mother Nature. Attached are just some of photos taken. There are pictures of bison, elk and a bear in their natural environment – along with landscapes and geysers and thermal pool – with a short video of a geyser. Hopefully you will post them on GMG
