My View of Life on the Dock
Governor Baker released a timeline for a Massachusetts rollout of the coronavirus vaccine today and here’s what it looks like. Additional details available at this link. The Massachusetts COVID website also contains additional information.
December dawn….
Gift idea!! Generous Gardeners has created photo notecards (blank inside) from David Cox’s beautiful photos taken this year. There are two different sets of five cards. Thumbnail pictures of one set are below. They are $15 each set and available at David’s store, Main Street Arts & Antiques, at 124 Main Street in Gloucester. These are not available online for the holiday season so stop by his shop to check them out. He will also have a limited quantity of tulip cards that we have had available in the past. A great gift to give, as well as help Generous Gardeners through the proceeds!
This event will be interactive – meaning that Don and the audience will be able to hear laughter and applause as it happens. At the end of the show, there will be an after party with Don and maybe a surprise guest or two!
The show is FREE. There will be a virtual tip jar. A portion of the money donated will be gifted to the Cape Ann Community Cinema.
There is no one-word description for what Don White does. He’s an award-winning singer/songwriter, a comedian, an author, and a storyteller. He’s been bringing audiences to laughter and tears for thirty years, released 10 CDs, 3 live DVDs, and a book, “Memoirs Of A C Student.” For more information about Don’s work, please check out the videos and music here: DonWhite.net.
To watch Don in action, enjoy the Accordion Door Story! youtube.com/watch?v=uaFiU31bd94&t=16s
Thank you for supporting live music and the Cape Ann Community Cinema!
Many thanks,
Understandably there is no Middle Street Walk 2020, so Middle Street looks different this season. There is an endearing Dinosaur visiting. Ho Ho Ho ha ha ha!

The Thomas E. Lannon is all decked out and looking great at the Seven Seas Wharf by the Gloucester House on Rogers Street as it rides out the winter season. If you follow them on Facebook (link here), you will see they have some awesome swag available: hoodies, caps, shirts (look in the left column down a little bit on the Facebook page). If you go to their webpage (link here) you can purchase gift certificates for sails in the upcoming season. It’s been one of my favorite gifts from Santa…….hint…hint…GMGJim!
Our friend Kim Smith uploaded this Lobster trap tree timelapse for Shawn Henry who asked that it be posted.
What a beauty. This tree means a lot for so many people. I’m so glad that people like Shawn see to it that the tradition didn’t fall by the wayside!

First, heartfelt thanks to the NationalGrid crew that made it out here during the Saturday storm, soon after we lost power. The poles are pretty inaccessible in the Audubon Sanctuary, and a second truck was called in to cut a path in the right-of-way by chain saw. In the dark they made repairs. The lineman admitted afterward that it was a pretty challenging climb in the driving rain – our anemometer showed gusts to 58mph.

The rising rates of infection from coronavirus has resulted in Governor Baker taking Massachusetts back to Step 3 Phase 1 in the reopening process. Most businesses will be reducing capacity from 50% to 40%; restaurant seating back to 6 max per table for 90 minutes max; and outdoor venue reduces gatherings to 50. This rollback is to begin Sunday Dec 13.

It’s a scary time for all of us. Let’s try to stay kind and focused on the long term goal of keeping everyone as healthy as possible.
