My View of Life on the Dock

Where did the week go? Sorry I’m so late with my missive but I’ve had trouble removing the hose clamp off my back. So I’m suffering’: big deal….Just makes that halo over my head seem brighter. Anyhow, please remember to change your underwear and come on down to the Rummie this week as we present that galvanic superstar of mishegas: Mr. Evan Goodreau. I love playing with this guy; he’s so fearless and accommodating, too. We’ll share the vocal duties and rev up our Irish Ace of Pace, Mr. “Molto” Benny Benson, make him work up a big appetite.
And Monday, don’t forget, I’ll be down at the Rose Baker Senior Center from 1 to 3 , hooting’ it up with the Good Old Salty Jazz Band. Once again: it’s free! Gotta go! My spine is squaking!
I like helping get the word out about all the cool stuff happening all over town really I do.
You know what I’m not a fan of?
Community organizations that send you thirty press releases from every member of their organization asking you to pimp the same event.
You gotta get your shit together people. I can’t even imagine how the community editors of local newspapers handle these organizations after they’ve been doing it for 20 years. I’d likely go postal, LOL
You have to talk to each other and have one point person who gets out your press releases and if you have two or three different events going on at your joint over the course of the week, combine the press releases into one email so we can put it all up there for you all at once and be done with it.
Think about the editor who isn’t just handling your press release, they are handling every other press release from every other organization in the city.
There are far more organizations that get it right but there are a select few that manage to hammer the crap out of news organizations multiple times a week and inevitably those same people are the ones who rarely send out a correct first release. Inevitably there will be a follow up email asking you to make changes or changes to the revised copy they sent you the second go around.
ARGHHHHHH!!!! Seriously You’re better than that!

The 1871 nonsense poem “The Owl and The Pussycat” blossomed into another creation in the mind of a local writer and artist who has now written a book about the later generations of this interspecies couple, delivering with it a humorous and colorful message on tolerance.
In the poem by England’s Edward Lear (1812-1888), one line states that the owl and the pussycat “sailed away, for a year and a day, to the land where the Bong-tree grows.”

We did our best to represent on our recent trip to the UK, and actually managed to get a few shots.
Represent-1 is at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England.
Represent-2 is at the smallest house in Great Britain in Conwy, Wales.
Represent-3 is in the Gloucester Road tube station in London.
And the fourth picture is of a memorial in Conwy. I thought it might be of interest to GMG readers.

Hi Joey
do you think you could post this?
Kayaking is a great sport, and a wonderfully graceful way to enjoy the outdoors. I notice many paddlers I see on Cape Ann hold the paddle upside down. To get the most power, and best aerodynamic response the straighter side of the blade should be on top (better approach for wind) and the curved part of the blade should be on the bottom- allowing more power to sweep through the water.
The attached photo is a good straight on view of the way to hold a paddle.
Enjoy the water!

To Whomever Spray-Painted Graffiti On My Fence At 25 Addison St Between 9PM and 3AM Friday Night:
We need to fund arts in education more. Clearly. Because neither I, nor the officer who so nicely came out to look at it, nor my neighbors can figure out what the hell you drew here. Sclop? Solop? Is that an E? A hat? A mushroom? Any one of those are the worst fake gang names ever. Sclop Hat. Yeah, that guy’s hardcore. We don’t mess with Sclop Hat ’round these parts.
I feel bad for you because on a Friday night, you didn’t have anything better to do than spray paint my fence. You couldn’t even get invited to a house party? On Labor day weekend? This is probably because no one likes you maybe because you smell or have a visible rash. Now I have to spend my day off trying to figure out how to get your shoddy, crapass drawing off my fence. I’d have at least been less pissed about it if it was well-done, but you’re no Banksy. I can point you towards Art Haven if you want to improve your artistic talent in the future.
This is why we can’t have nice things. At least you didn’t steal my bike, I guess.
You suck,
