All things considered I think this gentleman handled the situation pretty well.Ā  I would have probably died right on the spot when the snake got up on me from a heart attack.

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

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.Ā  I’ve used it for years and it’s been an invaluable part of my workflow.

Is it or is it not the whole thing straight through? Ā Behind the scenes doc on PBSĀ 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 Ā WGBH 2.” Ā Anyone else annoyed by the buzz phrases “thought leader” and “notable thinkers”?

I loved the Hamilton live performance, riveting Grammys opener.
