Over a year with my titanium spork

Used this bad boy every day for the past year multiple times at work.  Sure as hell beats wasting plastic spoons.  Every person that eats lunch or makes coffee in an office needs one.  It’s also on sale too!

UP CLOSE VIEW INSIDE THE ZUIDERDAM

THE SCALE OF THE ZUIDERDAM

I was lucky to get the Schooner Adventure sailing past the ship during this weekend’s Trails and Sails event. I think the next largest ships in the Harbor that day were the Schooners Lannon and Adventure.

City Hall Tower on Saturday

Trails and Sails this weekend included climbing up Gloucester City Hall’s Tower.  Amazing views from the top.  Rick and I actually went all the way to the floor above the clocks.

Please help out Good Morning Gloucester By Downloading Dropbox For Free

I use Dropbox to store, send and share huge files. It’s totally free and a tool I use daily when putting GMG together. Because there’s so much content I’m running out of storage on my Dropbox account and I rely on it for producing the GloucesterCast podcast. If you could download this awesome free tool they will give you AND me a free 500 mb of cloud storage. It would help me out a ton if you downloaded Dropbox. I think you will find it to be hugely helpful and in turn you’d be helping the blog.

Thanks, Joey

I promise you Dropbox is not spammy, not a resource hog on your computer and doesn’t mess up your computer.  I’ve used it for years and it’s been an invaluable part of my workflow.

MAIN STREET WAS HOPPIN!

Shopping for family dinner today on Main Street and at every stop, the shops were bustling!

The Zuiderdam’s shuttle boats were running passengers nonstop all day back and forth across the harbor.

Is it or is it not the whole thing straight through?  Behind the scenes doc on PBS GREAT PERFORMANCES. “Follows the creation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s pop culture Broadway phenomenon, Hamilton, and the history behind it. Interviews with Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, Nas, Questlove, Stephen Sondheim and more. Friday, October 21 at 9PM  WGBH 2.”  Anyone else annoyed by the buzz phrases “thought leader” and “notable thinkers”?

I loved the Hamilton live performance, riveting Grammys opener.
