It’s a Beautiful Day!

From Adam Bolonsky:

Does anyone on the waterfront have 600′ to 800′ of used tuna mono or swordfish line they need to get rid of?

I’m working with the

Thachers Island Association and the National Fish and Wildlife Service to suspend a videocamera from the catwalk of the 102′ north lighthouse tower at Thachers, and need the line to raise and lower the camera.

Vids get submitted to GMG, of course!

Ed Collard is already on board. He made a mount for the camera. Now w need non-braided, non-stretch line to raise and lower the video camera.

No-braid line is the key: otherwise the camera will vibrate excessively.

Contact me through GMG or via email

Thanks, Adam

Hi Joey-

Be sure not to miss Closets, a brand new comedy that is playing at The Gorton Theater this week and next. It’s a perfect commentary in our times, about selfish people, grabby, greedy types who finally get what they deserve. In fact the stage managers are complaining that the show is so funny they can’t help laughing, and it makes their job harder. And at every rehearsal, they keep finding new places to laugh!

This is the type of show that ought to end up on Broadway, and maybe will. So save a bundle, and see it here first. Also, the author will be in town this week, so you can get his perspective on the script and the CAST production of Closets when you come to see it..

Better leave the kids at home. This is truly an adult comedy. Closets plays from Thursday, March 8 through Sunday, March 18. Check the CAST blog for details.

Thanks for spreading the word.

Right around number 21 of my biggest pet peeves is when you order a bagel to go and order it with butter or cream cheese and the jointg doeswnt spread it on for you.

Is it really that hard to have the tub of butter or cream cheese and smear it on for me in two swoops rather than make me open an individual package in the car and fumble around with a flimsy knife and get the crumbs all over the car.

You take a process that should take the server all of 3 seconds and turn it into a minute long awkward process.

Perhaps it doesn’t annoy others but it’s one of mine.

What are some little things that bug the hell out of you.
(and I’ll preemptively write out Paulie Walnuts pet peeve-
I hate it when Joey whines about little annoyances)

What do March flowers bring?

April sand castles?  Nope, they are already happening in March.

Hi Joey

At Transform Fitness Studio in Essex Ma, 30 of us rode a three hour marathon spin along with many other clubs in New England. We raised $4000 and all together $265,000 was raised to find a cure and create more birthdays.
AND we had a lot of fun.

Donations can still be accepted at
