We went yesterday. The kids just do not want to get out of the pool. It’s beautiful, it’s clean, the food is great and affordable. You gotta have your head examined not to take advantage. Get on it!
Friends in Low Places
Oh my word. I LOVED this last night.

Bacheler Civil War Coat Update State Grant Brings it Home!
Charles and George King write,
“Ok, guys, no point in holding back…we all did it and we’re all done! Right on the heels of the awesome Awesome Gloucester Grant, the Massachusetts State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB)awarded the coat a $6620 grant which officially closes the fundraising for the preservation. Check out the memo from the Office of Mayor Romeo Theken “Gloucester Civil War Coat Preservation Plan Wins Statewide Recognition, Grant Money” by Chris Sicuranza. Thanks to everyone who supported the coat! Bye for now coat peeps and we’ll write again soon about the case. Go Pats! #driveforfive”

Hannah Jumper is a Patriots Fan
Super Bowl Sunday and I cannot get down to Woods Hole to visit my parent’s graves to tell them about Brady’s shot at getting ring number five (they were wicked Pats fans) so I am adopting someone no longer with us who is a local.
Hannah Jumper would have been 220 years old when the Patriots won their first Super Bowl. Everyone thinks of Hannah as a party pooper but I am willing to bet she would have cheered Vinatieri’s field goal to squish the Rams waving her hatchet around. I’m sure she would be wearing jersey Number 12 today and having a brew because time marches on, the Red Sox and the Patriots are World Champions several times over and Feather & Wedge Tavern is having a Super Bowl Party in Rockport.
Still can’t get used to it. The championships. A beer in a Rockport Tavern. What is the world coming to? 🙂

Super Bowl weekend super fundraiser: Smocks & Jocks
The National Football League Player’s Association (NFLPA) held the 12th annual ‘Smocks and Jocks’ Fine Art Auction and Jazz Brunch featuring art created by active and former NFL players (and others). The benefit raises money for the Gene Upshaw Player Assistance Fund.
“Our players are so many different things…The original thought was to create an opportunity for former players to come to the Super Bowl in a more relaxed atmosphere and to show a different side of the professional athlete by them being able to display their art.”
