From Cuba, With Love.

From Cuba With Love … 
‘We’re stranded. Please send money!’  :O 
That was the email I envisioned having to send when our Saturday flight home from Cuba was cancelled, due to weather. Direct flights on Jet Blue Cuba to Boston only run once a week. Worse was the fact we were nearly out of cash and U.S. ATMs and credit cards cannot be used in Cuba.
Stranded in Cuba.What do you do? Cuba is not a bad place to be stuck, but without a cell phone or computer (off the grid on purpose), it was not easy to book a flight. And no extra cash to stay longer. e scrambled to find an alternate flight to Florida. At least if we could get to Florida, ATMs, credit cards, a hotel computer and phone would be available.

Busy Singing Beach on Saturday Morning

It was a busy morning on Singing Beach last Saturday! Lots of dogs, children and walkers.

Not sure what is going on with this person in the background here. I’d like to say I noticed this and that was the reason for the photo, but instead my eye was drawn to these  curious dogs.

Model build | Cape Ann Museum NEW art archives collection center, and White Ellery

I think Gloucester’s stunning Stacy Boulevard will soon be joined by another smart custom build. Cape Ann Museum estimates that a new collection center that’s climate controlled, accessible to the public, and programmable is estimated to cost 3 million and be finished in about a year.  Wow!

Read more details in Ray Lamont’s wonderful coverage, Cape Ann Museum renovating barn, Building Collection Center, Gloucester Daily Times December 20, 2018

A wintry blue sky and fresh fallen snow — and knowing the magic of what’s to come!– lent a touch of Maxfield Parrish to the White Ellery site. The blue Community Preservation (CPA) sign reflects new work on the barn.

Quote of the Week

 

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Henry Louis (H.L.) Mencken (1880-1956)

capture

An essayist and critic for the Baltimore Sun, the New Yorker, and the New York Times, Mencken was a founding editor of the influential American Mercury. Often referred to as the “Sage of Baltimore”, Mencken’s notoriety was solidified by his acerbic coverage of what he called the Scopes Monkey Trial and his widely read book The American Language (1919).  He was a follower of Nietzsche and counted Twain among his heroes. His support for Ayn Rand (The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, etc.) helped to launch her career. His distrust of the democratic process is on display in the above quote as well as the following: “No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.”

Shutdown

IMG_6552.jpg

Happy Friday to most. We know that the shutdown has been extremely challenging on families. While we know that haircuts don’t always seem like a necessity & more of a luxury we don’t feel that this isn’t always true. Sometimes that fresh look may be all you need to rise your spirits. Please come into Unwind Luxury.Vegan.Beauty from now until Feb 14th if you are a government paid employee who is no longer getting paid. We want to treat you to a complimentary haircut or even just wash & blow dry for yourself and your children. This is an honor system, so please do not abuse it.

Let’s all come together and help in anyway possible. Spread the word. From our tribe, to yours ❤️ 978-282-1900
