Windy day on the Neck!!
From Sharon St Claire
The Receiver
I started with the door a tiny bit ajar, just enough open, pushed by curiosity. A bit skeptical of a design laid out by a book promising change. Things have never been that clear cut, that easy for me to find inner peace, joy, balance. But because I’m gifted with enough courage and insanity mixed together in my winded fire proposition I joined 40 Days to Personal Revolution at Cape Ann Power Yoga.
I came weekly, daily, and eventually moment by moment. Wondering…what would, what could happen if I looked inside, if I opened that door wider. Together with a group of new strangers, soon to be friends, fellow seekers, journeyed each week with a designated intention to find change. And when I least expected it, in the most simple ordinary moments, change found her way in like a soft-pawed cat through the crack between the door and…

It’s a little outrageous, but we thought we’d try it anyhow
It all started when Gloucester’s Joe Langhan (a founder of the Food Network) invited me to taste his pastrami. Having grown up in the pastrami capital of the world (NY), I was skeptical. But I went down to see Joe’s Beantown Pastrami operation at the Boston Public Market and had a sandwich. Instantly, I was transported! I hadn’t tasted pastrami like this since — not the last time but — 2 times ago when I went to NYC — a few years at least.
Right then, Joe and I agreed to try a Beantown Pastrami pop-up during a blues concert at our new venue, 9 Wallis, right down the road in Beverly. The first one in early August was a huge success. Joe ran out of food. So we tried it again 2 weeks later. Another hit.
Having been so popular in the evening, Joe wanted to try it for lunch (pastrami’s favorite meal) every Friday … but with a twist.
“What if you have a comedy show so people can Laugh Over Lunch (#LOL)?” he suggested.
Vickie and I LOVED the idea and together with Joe, we coined the phrase Pastromedy (Comedy + Pastrami = Pastromedy), which debuts this Friday from Noon – 2pm.
This week’s PASTROMEDY features Chris D, winner of the wildly successful Next Big Catch – North Shore Comedy Contest at 9 Wallis in July and is hosted by Gary Marino founder of the World Gone Crazy Comedy Band and owner of Harmon-Marino LIVE, which produces the comedy shows at 9 Wallis.
Joe expanded his Beantown Pastrami menu for 9 Wallis to include corned beef sandwich plates (including Reuben and Rachel) as well as turkey. All plates are served with Cape Cod Potato Chips and whole Maitland Mountain Farm pickles are available at for an extra charge.
Comedy is free.
Sooooo….have a fun lunch — and maybe start your weekend early by treating yourself to the best pastrami in New England, right down the road in Beverly. Don’t worry about the calories ’cause you’ll laugh your ass off!

Artist constituency steps up mightily! Don’t miss Oct 4th annual art auction scene for Sawyer Free Library
It’s great to see the beautiful Matz Gallery at Sawyer Free featuring local artists again. There’s always room for the traveling exhibitions on walls and rooms elsewhere in the building, but I think the Matz gallery and Sawyer Free library sings most when it devotes its main exhibition space to local artists.
Save the date for the LIVE event! OCTOBER 4, 2017
The annual benefit exhibition is hung salon style in advance of an exciting annual live auction reception. Stop by to preview the art or leave a silent bid. Minimum opening bids range from $40-$400. On October 4th, bring your family, friends and co-workers. There’s always a great buzz in the room. Bid alone or ‘group-on’ with friends–and generously! You’ll help the artist and the art community in general as well as the library.
Sawyer Free Library deserves the community’s support. Here’s a list of all the 2017 participating magnanimous artists (many are repeat donors). Enjoy some photos from the exhibit to draw your attention to the art.
