Maybe this should be a two part CQOTD
If you are speaking to someone on the phone and have to take a poop, do you tell them you’ll call them back and then squeeze one out or do you just let it fly while chatting away on the can?
Second part:
What about peeing? Does it make a difference?
People have been asking me to use the blog for scientific research and I’m not sure how much more scientific we could get than a GMG poll.
Continuing my vacation… Visiting a friend on Cape Cod!
Lovely beach!
The prettiest house on this beach, in my opinion, is this one:
There’s nothing like the feeling of the waves tickling your toes!
A perfect beach day!
Cape Cod is a lovely place to visit! But I’m still glad I live on “the other cape”… When I get back to Gloucester I am going to have to do a beach walk and get some nice photos!
Yesterday the question was posed-
Everyone has their favorites, some like more chewy, some more crunchy.
Does this call for a chocolate chip cookie competition mug up or does this call for a chocolate chip cookie competition mug up! This could be huge!!!!
For the record I’ll take soft baked over crunchy chocolate chip cookies 100 times out of a 100. What kind of lunatic prefers hard chocolate chip cookies over soft ones? Only insane maniacs. Seriously. Can’t trust those hard chocolate chip cookie lovers is what I always say.

Here’s what I’m thinking-
Contestants bake enough for every one to try. We place numbers in front of each tray of cookies. People get a slip of paper or ticket to place a vote and slip it into a solo cup behind each contestant’s tray.
We tally up the votes, drink some coffee, and enjoy each other’s company yet again.
Who’s with me?
If you DONT answer in the comment section you’re a looooser.India says blog that shit.

Dear Joey,
My wonderful hound is still missing. Every day that goes by i fear
his foot may be caught in a pile of rocks and coyotes
may be tearing him apart. I’ve walked in the woods but i don’t know
them that well.
GMG followers who know the woods of Dogtown,
Quarry areas, and Cape Ann, I need you !! As a writer/photographer,
I’ll document our search and collect your stories of the woods
if you have any. Please come walk in the woods and help me find this
amazing and much loved dog. Know the best maps of the woods ? Tell me.
You love the woods, and so does my hound. Let’s make this a woods-lovers and dog-lovers success story !
Thanks, everyone.

It was becoming a real cesspool over there. Glad the paper of record for GTown took steps to avoid the ugliness that came with anonymous online posting.
I’m sorry to have missed the Gloucester Street Bazaar, but I’m off having a grand old time with family in New York State. This is part 1 of a 2-part vacation, so I won’t be back with new Gloucester photos for a few days. In the meantime, here is a taste of a Hutchings’ (my mother’s side of the family) get-together!
Beautiful landscapes:

Going over vintage family photos:
And of course I’m doing origami, but I already posted some of those photos… and more will be showing up soon!

Hi Joey, Here’s a couple of picks of my little dog Greta ( long haired mini dachshund 8 lbs and 12 years old) I’m a local painting contractor who has decided to volunteer my painting skills to the Schooner Adventure. From time to time Greta comes with me to the Adventure. On this sunny hot day she sought out shelter from the sun in a space on the bow near to me while I painted. She enjoyed the view of the harbor out the hawser hole and fit in it standing up. I took these shots with my iPhone. I thought people would enjoy seeing the unique photos of Greta. In addition FYI the crew of the Amsted is helping the crew of the Adventure get her all rigged up. The sails will be up in a couple of days and will go for a Test sail this week possibly! The rigging is a big event. There is a guy named mike who has been volunteering for 14 years! He would be a good interview. Bill Holmes is in charge and a good contact for the goings on in the next few days of rare events of rigging a schooner.
Thanks best regards
Katherine Richmond
We try to let you know when there’s an opportunity to save money, enjoy music close to home that you can’t see every day and catch a rising star in an intimate local venue before he/she makes it big.
Next Saturday (8/10) all three come together for the Gloucester Blues Festival, BUT, if you want to save $12.00 you have to get your tickets by MONDAY at 10pm here.
Perhaps you missed last year’s premiere of the Gloucester Blues Fest. Click here for some videos that will give you a sense of how much fun it was.
The Gloucester Blues Festival is only in its second year and already it’s one of Gloucester’s largest events, bringing world class blues to Stage Fort Park and introducing you to young, rising blues stars.
You really don’t want to miss this year. Click here for videos of all this year’s performers. And you really don’t want to pay extra just because you forgot to get your tickets early.
So click here now, get your tickets and then you can relax and look forward to an excellent weekend of music and fun at Stage Fort Park!
Good Morning Gloucester
