Solar-Voyager yesterday morning woke up and one of the two solar panel output’s showed zero output. Redundancy kicked in and yesterday’s travels were heading to Lisbon but last night’s drift occurred earlier because half the juice was made during the day.

But either the connection wiggled back closed or they rebooted it last night because both solar panels are making juice this morning!!  Onward to Portugal!

Click here for map and click dots for info. The dashboard on the bottom fo the map also has good info.

Must visit.  Must Order The Pork Chop.  Yes the pork chop.  Don’t ask questions.  Just do as I Say and thank me later.

After over five and half years as an author on GMG, the time has come for me to take my leave and follow a different path. I love Gloucester and have truly enjoyed being a part of GMG, getting to know and love fellow authors, friends of the blog and, of course, Joey and his family. We had many great times on Madfish Wharf at Khan Studio and the GMG gallery, during weekly mug ups, art openings, Nights on the Neck, get-togethers for no particular reason except to get together, Rocky Neck plunges, group exhibits in various places, Christmas parties at Fred’s and more. GMG is made up of a great, unique and talented group of contributors and devoted readers.

As has become obvious, to the great chagrin of some, after being a silent Christian spending too much time in the world and not enough time with Him, God has clearly called me to come out of it and focus only on Him, to be prepared for the times we are coming into. During the course of my posting of the Revelation Series, which Joey graciously allowed me to do, even though it was viewed by some as religion, many readers contacted me, some on blog, many off, to say how grateful they were for the “voice crying out in the wilderness”. When you have a deep and abiding love of someone or something that you cannot talk about, you have no choice but to leave. Imagine if Donna could not talk about her grandkids, Felicia about her cooking, St. Joseph’s Feast or St. Peter’s Novena, Kim about her butterflies, or Paul about RD. For those who despise, disbelieve or just feel they have no need of God, you can feel safe again on GMG.

To those whom God is calling and would like to stay connected, please email me at khanstudio@comcast.net. I intend to start a blog for sharing and discussions centered on God, His abundant blessings on us, and how He is calling us in these times. He is doing a work in Gloucester—calling His to stand up, be counted and come together. This is not about religion or Church—two institutions of man that have in large part miserably failed God in his courtship with mankind—it is about the most important relationship we can have in life. Anyone who is not turned off by God, feel free to come by the Hobbit House and visit any time.

To those who say “good riddance”, know that you are still loved, and no offense is taken. I and other believers in Gloucester continue to pray for all of Cape Ann and beyond.

Wishing all the best to everyone in GMG land, EJ

PS Those organizations and others for whom I have done postings, such as Cape Ann Forum and Rocky Neck Art Colony, please contact Joey so he can direct you on what he needs for future postings.

“Persona”
at Flatrocks Gallery

With Flatrocks Gallery’s new show, Persona, four artists are combined to make connections between the personal and the public self. Featuring Nina Fletcher, Kurt Ankeny, Gabrielle Rossmer and John Weidenbruch.  Each offers with their unique medium a challenge to look below the surface. Nina Fletcher, a former nurse, uses her knowledge of the human body as her muse and diverse materials for inspiration. She adeptly moves from printmaking, to sculpting wire, to glass casting to convey her subtly loaded message about the conflicts and universality of being human.  The painter, Kurt Ankeny, offers observations of the ‘others’ and his own anonymity. The figures in his oils(often faceless) are merely a part of the landscape, used to explore the formal elements of line, form and texture on a flat surface. The ordinary and mundane become curious, offering a psychological depth that is at once reassuring and unsettling.

Gabrielle Rossmer’s sculptures are a series of pillars rooted to the ground rising up, alive with form and color. They are built with wood, covered with plaster, painted with of rich color, the layers become integral to their message. These abstract figures create a tension between stability and mobility,  the personal and the private and define the space around them.

John Weidenbruch’s photographs represent an array of perspectives and emotions, and hint at untold stories. His opportunity to travel the globe has offered him the experience of numerous cultures. With a curious eye he seeks to catch the unexpected moment. In the context of this show, Weidenbruch invites the viewer to join him as the outsider, the observer, an individual within a crowd.

Persona runs through July 10th.
There is an artists’ reception open to the public Saturday, July 18th 6-8pm.
