Our Tony Gross Putting On A Photobombing Clinic At Schoonerfest

 

Here’s our Tony putting on a photo bombing clinic right here.

See?  This is how you run for School Committee!

Publicity city baby.  Flat out owning the focus of this picture.  Can’t take your eyes off Tony’s commanding presence.

He’s a photobombing monster, an absolute monster.

I’d say Tony’s photo is about a hundred times more effective campaign-wise than our super good buddy Hannah Kimberley who couldn’t possibly have read my  January 21, 2012 post on portrait taking-

Who makes someone pose like this?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by

Otherwise this never would have happened-

Hannah you straight up have my personal permission to kick Craig straight away in the nuts.  When he asks you why you did that, show him this post

This is how I picture Hannah- with that warm smile-

What kind of ass wipe does this crap to begin with?

Darwinism 101.

Listen up kids. DONT be the fucking idiot taking pills. Not one. Not ever.

If you can’t have fun in your late teens and twenties without popping pills I seriously feel sorry for you.

That’s like best time of your life shit, DONT go mess it up.

Full Steam Ahead!

Hi Joey,

We were out for a row the other night at dusk and we came across the Gloucester Gig Rowers having a ‘meeting’ just off of Ten Pound Island.  I snapped this picture as they headed back into the harbor.

Enjoy!

schooner festival 2013

Started out overcast then started to rain, but just as I was ready to head for cover, the sun came out and the coyote jumped for joy.  So beautiful to see all those schooners.

Rose Baker Center Announces SeniorNet Computer Classes
Classes Begin September 9

Once again this year, the Rose Baker Senior Center is pleased to offer SeniorNet computer classes.  SeniorNet is a 26-year-old organization dedicated to teaching seniors to use computer technologies. Nationwide, SeniorNet has more than 60 Learning Centers and over 3000 dedicated volunteers. SeniorNet’s Gloucester Learning Center is located at The Rose Baker Senior Center.

SeniorNet’s classes are designed specifically for seniors, who may not be as “tech-savvy” the younger generation, yet don’t want to be left out of the digital age.  The classes teach seniors to be comfortable with technology and personal communications tools such as email, smart phones, the internet, digital cameras, social media, and more.  Classes have coaches who assist the instructor and provide personal attention to each senior student. Classes include a book for each student containing exercises and step-by-step instructions so students can continue learning at home.

The Center features a state-of-the-art computer lab.  Each student has access to a dedicated computer, so learning is uninterrupted by having to share a computer. To further facilitate seniors’ learning experience, classes are conducted with the use of a projection screen so students can actually follow the instructor’s keystrokes.  Classes fill up quickly, so interested seniors should call for details and to enroll.

SeniorNet’s fall 2013 classes at the Rose Baker Senior Center begin the week of September 9.  Classes meet once a week for six to eight weeks, depending on the course. Tuition is $50 per course.

Here are the course offerings for this fall:

Ø    Level 1 – Computer Fundamentals
Ø    Level 2 – Introduction to Computers
Ø    Digital Photography
Ø    Introduction to the Internet and E-mail
Ø    Facebook
Ø    iPad
Ø    Kindle

Word, Excel (spreadsheet), Genealogy, and Fun with Computers may also be offered if there is enough interest.  We will also offer a suite of classes beginning in January and April 2014.

Come in to the Rose Baker Senior Center to sign up or call 978 281-9765 for more information.
