Sax Gordon Tonight! Dave Sag’s Blues Party 8:30pm @ The Rhumb Line 12.22.2016
I know a lot of you are frustrated from the ravages of Father Time and an eerie lack o’ wanna so, why not get hip to the latest and greatest in the phony cyber world of adult matchmaking services? Try new Carbondating® for adults. Just send in a sample of hair (if any), spittle, or toe jam and the wonderful failed German South American doctors at our cosmetic laboratory will have you fixed up in no time with a truly compatible specimen. Just like you! And if that doesn’t work, try this:
Our special Xmas show this Thursday features the clinically-proven Magi of Mayhem: Mr. Gordon “Sax” Beadle. With his own brand of fairy dust, Big G, catnip to your ears, will have you convulsing in the aisles,whilst you beg to donate to our Musician’s Retirement Plan©, and just basically turning the old bar into a steaming heap of writhing bodies.

Nichole’s Picks 12/24 + 12/25 (kind of)
Well, hmmm. Not sure what I’m supposed to tell you to do on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day….other than treasure your time with friends, family, and loved ones. Enjoy every moment….and be in the moment. Have a happy holiday, create memories, share some magic, and savor the minutes together. Please also take some time to reflect on those who are not enjoying their holiday season…those who are sad, sick, hurting, lonely, cold, or hungry…those whose downward days are only more punctuated on these days that we consider special.
The weather, while not like last year’s 70 degree Christmas, should be in the 40s so get outside, listen to nature, walk the dogs…..and continue the spirit of giving by leaving small treats outside for the wildlife. We like to sprinkle bird seed and cover pine cones with peanut butter and seed for the critters. Sometimes we drop fruit and vegetables on our favorite paths in the woods.
As the last part of “Christmas in Rockport”, Santa will be visiting Dock Square at 12:30 in the afternoon we hand out baskets full of treats to the town’s children and to give them the opportunity to say “Thank you” for all of his hard work during the holiday season. The boys will write “Thank you” letters and deliver them to Santa Christmas morning. It has always been a nice tradition….rather just writing lists of what they want for Christmas…they also get to thank him as well.

Reaffirmation of my fear of heights.
Look, I don’t care if I’m two feet off the ground. Tor some reason my knees get wobbly. So for the same reason I don’t go hiking in the woods to go get infested with tick bites and die, don’t mess around with dogs that want to eat me- I don’t climb up ladders only to fall to my untimely death.

Gloucester police led ANGEL program: amazing first year stats published in New England Journal of Medicine
376 people, some seeking help more than once, and 94.5% direct placement! 36.6% were from the local region which included 11.8% Gloucester residents. Gloucester’s involvement helped a lot of people.
From Boston University School of Public Health and Boston Medical Center excerpt:
“From June 2015 through May 2016 (the first year of the program), 376 different persons presented for assistance a total of 429 times. The demographic characteristics of the participants are shown in Table 1 (‘Table 1 Sociodemographic and Substance-Use Characteristics of the 376 Angel Program Participants’) and are similar to those reported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for persons who are admitted to treatment programs for an opioid-use disorder in Massachusetts.3 Of the persons who sought treatment through the program, 11.8% resided in Gloucester, 24.8% lived in the surrounding county, 16.8% were homeless, 5.6% were from states other than Massachusetts, and the remainder came from elsewhere in Massachusetts. In 12 instances, the person was ineligible for drug detoxification because immediate medical attention was required. In 94.5% of instances in which a person presented for assistance and was eligible (394 of 417), direct placement was offered;…”

Looking for Winter Fun? Try Stories from the Wildside!
Kestrel is excited to present “Stories from the Wild Side”! An in- depth (pun intended) winter exploration of animal tracking and story telling. The class will be split into two 4-class field sessions, meeting every Saturday morning, and culminating in a project day at the Get Outside Center at 186 Main st Gloucester at the end of each session.
Traipse through snowy woodlands in search of wildlife evidence and tracks. Practice tracking animals and reading clues to the life of the forest. Learn techniques for developing characters, drawing readers into a place, and creating intriguing plots.
Work independently or as a team to create an original nature based fiction story featuring the discoveries we have made, and your own imagination. Students can utilize any medium to tell their story; from written work to drawing to a diorama, or anything in between.

A very special night… Wednesday, December 21st – 7pm ~ The 7th Annual AMERO FAMILY CHRISTMAS!
On Christmas Eve, it was always an “Amero” tradition to gather and sing in the back room of the old house
in Essex with our beloved Mother Moulty and friends. These days, what happens at the Rhumb Line each
year on the last Wednesday before Christmas is pretty much an extension of our youth. In other words,
yes… we are INDEED grown up children. This Wednesday marks the 7th go-around for us – and it really
seems to have taken on a life of its own. Festive, fun and laughing all the way, the audience joins in on
classics like “Holly Jolly Christmas” & “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” – as well as a few of my, shall we
say, “twisted” numbers, like “(Have Yourself A) Willie Nelson Christmas” and “The Restroom Door Said
Gentlemen”. It’s a frickin’ blast no matter how you look at it. We urge that you arrive early to claim your
seat. It gets pretty nuts! Merry Christmas everyone! ~ Fly
