Colors to keep you cool~
Cooling colors for summer…
Summer is the season of fire, and there is an increased tendency for arguments, yelling, and getting angry. It is better not to discuss any serious topics during the hot hours of the day, or during very hot days. If you need to make important decisions, do it in the morning or evening when it’s cool.
Dress in cotton (or silk) clothes, and as much as possible avoid colors like red, orange, yellow, and black. Gentle and mild colors help one to stay cool, especially blue, white, green, and purple. After dressing, you can do your worship or meditation practice if it is part of your routine.
Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC go to summer color is white…what’s your go to summer color to keep your cool?

Saw The Effect @GloucesterStage last night | stellar acting and writing
We like to support Gloucester Stage and Heidi Dallin, and try to see anything with Lindsay Crouse. There’s no question that Gloucester Stage productions are mostly terrific.
Tom Hauck’s GMG review compelled us to see the New England premiere of The Effect, Lucy Prebble’s 2012 dramatic play at Gloucester Stage. It’s a go see for sure! I think it’s the best play about thorny life and medical themes since Wit. We can delight in Prebble’s dynamite dialogue because the direction, acting, and set are pitch perfect.
Who knew? You can bring that glass of prosecco you didn’t finish back to your seat.
Buy seats on line for Gloucester Stage matinee today and you’d have time to make it over to Windhover’s dance tonight! Tough summer living here in Gloucester 🙂

Are fishcakes obsolete? __ No. 12 from Al Bezanson
It was 90 years ago this week that COLUMBIA landed a trip of 350,000 pounds of salt cod for Gorton Pew. According to Gordon Thomas in Fast and Able (1952), it proved to be the last fare of salt fish landed by a Gloucester vessel and taken out at a Gloucester wharf. We can guess that much of the fare was processed into fish cakes, which at that time had been made famous by Gorton’s, who was running half-page ads in the New York Times for their canned Ready-to-Fry. “Feed a family for 25¢. Prepared in a few minutes.” The alternative – start soaking your salt cod the day before yesterday to have fish cakes today.
The fish had been caught by dory hand lining and COLUMBIA set off July 3rd 1927 on her second dory hand lining trip. She never returned. The crew:
