My View of Life on the Dock
If you haven’t had a chance to visit an aquarium, perhaps it’s worth consideration taking an opportunity to see fish and aquatic life from a different perspective than what you might get around town. These are from Mystic Aquarium which isn’t a long drive from Gloucester. I loved the colors and textures. Nothing against the wonderful New England Aquarium…I just don’t have lovely pictures from there recently. It’s on the bucket list, along with the Georgia Aquarium.
Not only collards, but kale, spinach and, Lyn reports, she is extra bananas for romaine lettuce, even trying to take them from Lyn’s hand! Lyn has added a fantastic improvement to the swan’s winter sanctuary and will update tomorrow when not so tied up with Christmas-making 🙂

To the GMG family, I wish to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season.
Thank you all.
I marvel at how perfect that yellow gallery wall (Matisse intensity) at The Bookstore is for each rotating exhibition. The current show is Isabelle K Brown.

Near sunset saw this snowy owl on the rocks at the back shore…Just a lucky find.
Merry Christmas to the gulls and buoys of Gloucester! (sorry about that terrible pun, holiday stress and all…….)
There’s no better way to start your year, I can promise you that! The camaraderie, the exhilaration, the overcoming your fear and telling yourself “I can tackle anything in 2018!” I’ve yet to hear anyone that’s done it with us walk away saying they regretted it. It’s awesome!
Don’t forget to bring non perishable food items for Open Door as Cathy McCarthy and Co will be collecting at the entrance to Oakes Cove Beach. You can donate cold harsh cash too. I’m pretty sure that works too.
Can wait to see all the familiar faces on the beach and hopefully some new ones too!

Thank you Gloucester for a Great Year of Love, Peace and Positivity!
Come to Gloucester, ‘Just for the Halibut’ … and for the FUN of It!
Willow Rest, Gino Mondello’s Dory Shop and the Gloucester Charter Connection are where you can find this whimsical t-shirt; a little cheeky, a little devilish, and a whole Lot of FUN! … Just like Gloucester. 😉
Due to popular demand, Santa just dropped off some more of our ‘Come to Gloucester, Just for the Halibut’ shirts at the Willow Rest, 1 Holly St. While there, treat yourself to the delicious prepared foods. Or dine at the old-fashioned deli where sandwiches are named after iconic local spots – Annisquam Delight, Route 127, Dogtown, etc. Here you can also enjoy fresh produce, a variety of wares from local artisans, lots of holiday treats, and conversation with local characters and tourists alike! Melissa and…

Len’s ice crystal have returned to his windows.
The Alison Carol and Pete Mondello and crew arrived today at Captain Joe & Sons just like every day. But the fresh lobsters offloaded were special Christmas Eve lobsters. Spreading joy from here to Boston restaurants but the last five girl lobsters went in my bag for the annual Christmas Eve feast. Sue has put up with me for over 30 years which means Christmas Eve is our 30th wedding Anniversary.
We call it lobster casserole but really I want to invent a new name for it. Because it is really five baked stuffed lobsters without the hassle of the shells. You get the crispy Ritz Cracker thing going on top but buttery goodness below without having to fight through the shells. I now call it Boneless Baked Stuffed Lobster. The shells are saved to make a stock for some soup on Christmas day before the big beef. I’m getting fat just typing this.
Dockside conversations with my hearing aids tuned to the machinery so I say “what” a lot.
Joey: What are the blue and yellow ducks?
Me: Ducks?
Joey: Ducks
Me: What ducks?
Joey: Dots!
Me:(figuring out it is analemma dots) The yellow dot is Christmas and the blue dot is when you jump in Gloucester Harbor!
Joey: Who the fuck figured that out?
Me: The Greeks.
Joey: Did they have a clock?
Me: No. Eratosthenes used a deep well at noon to mark the time.
Joey: Cool.
You can also google in youtube, “Say “what” one more time I dare you” 🙂
Good Morning Gloucester
