My View of Life on the Dock
By holding up a fancied golden era of yesteryear, we can devalue where we are and who we have become. Thanksgiving aims at gratitude not for what was, but for what is.
James Carroll 1943-
A former Catholic priest, Carroll is a syndicated columnist for the Boston Globe and other newspapers. He is the author of ten novels as well as several scholarly works on the Pentagon, House of War, and the Catholic Church, Constantine’s Sword. Currently a Scholar-in-Residence at Suffolk University.
Ask a 3 year old an open ended question and you never know what you are going to get. Ask them what they are thankful for and they will say…………………………..
Fishsticks!. Gorton’s will love this video. Save a Turkey – Eat a fishstick. We tried to give her Fishsticks a couple of times and she didn’t really dig them, yet she is thankful for them.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
A BIG thank you for all your love and support during the past year. I’m so grateful for friends here on GMG. Enjoy the day and let the holidays begin!!! —Sharon

Kurt Ankeny-Beauchamp says:It’s on Washington Street, after the fork with Langsford in Lanesville. Just past the Evangelical church, tucked into the trees on the right. Is that accurate enough? I run past their every other day.

Good Harbor Beach ART ROCK left at the scene 11/22/2010 6:07pm
CAN YOU FIND IT?
I got a call about 5am from Joey this morning informing me of a Gloucester teacher who found an “Art Rock” of mine. I didn’t get to see the comment until later this day. When I read what she wrote it touched me. I try to be “The Ass of GMG” as Joey once rightly put it. But I do have feelings. Sometimes :).
To think there are people out there who follow this blog and follow my CRAZY “Art, Rocks!” thing INSPIRES me. If those are the right words.
I am truly humbled as “I” can be. So thanks to Joey and Teacher Mary Kate Canavan and Her Students, I dedicate tonights Art rock to them;
Thank You so much for the Kind words!
HERE ARE THE CLUES;
There are no clues for this one…If you’ve seen it, you’ll know where it is. You can see it from the road and it’s not on the water. Big help,huh?
Good luck and if you’re the first to identify the location, you git yerself one of them there GMG t-shirts! 🙂

Good Morning Gloucester 
Pass by there everyday and it’s just up the road from my house in Lanesville. Boat sits on the Natti’s old property just across from the farm on Washington Street. Also between Canney and Butman quarries. Used to swim and fish there when I was a kid.
Neat old boat.
