Fish Out of Water

Not only could Codzilla be called a fish out of water, but it looks like a fish out of water sitting in our very own Gloucester Marine Railways.

I took the boys for a ride in Boston Harbor on Codzilla last summer.  They enjoyed it, but it wasn’t as crazy fast and fun as they expected.

Pet of the week- Ruby Doo


Ruby is a work in progress if you will. A little rusty in spots but nothing a little TLC won’t fix. This girl is super smart! Adventures outdoors are a must. A true friend Ruby’s favorite place is beside a person, someone who gives her scratches behind the ears or a good rub to her head. You may be asking yourself what is this rust you mentioned? Ruby loves to chase cars and needs training on the leash to learn not to chase them (as she is very strong). She barks at them when she is in the car as well and will jump back and forth so she needs to be belted in. Ruby needs a home with children in their teens and that is experienced with dogs and is committed to helping her over this one last hurdle. So if you’re looking for that perfect pal, that oversized lap-dog, you enjoy training and spending time exercising outdoors, well then stop by and visit Ruby! To learn more about Ruby and the see what other animals are available, please check our website: capeannanimalaid.org.

We haven’t seen the edited piece yet, but Charlie stressed the fact that it is a Gloucester product and that we have worked closely with our partners in Gloucester to bring a local product to our tables.

This Weekend in the Arts

Brilliant Beacons

An illustrated talk by author Eric Jay Dolin

 The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present an illustrated talk by author Eric Jay Dolin on his newest work, Brilliant Beacons: A History of the American Lighthouse on Saturday, April 30 at 3:00p.m.  Dolin describes his book as, “…a story about colonial commerce, nation building, war, technological innovation, engineering feats, storms, tragedy, personal sacrifice and inspiring determination, as well as poetry, art and hope…I think that’s enough for one book.”

Cost for the program is $15 for CAM members / $20 for non-members (includes Museum admission). Space is limited; reservations required.

For more information, email us at info@capeannmuseum.org. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Museum at 978-283-0455 x10 or online at Eventbrite.

Dolin, the best-selling author of Leviathan, will discuss his most recent book, Brilliant Beacons, which traces the evolution of America’s lighthouse system, highlighting the political, military and technological battles fought to illuminate the nation’s coastlines. The talk will include remarks on the Thacher Island Fresnel lens, which can be seen in the Museum’s maritime galleries and is the inspiration for the term “brilliant beacon,” as their use transformed American lighthouses. Following the program, Dolin will be available to sign copies of his book, for sale in the Museum Shop.

CAM program coordinator Kate LaChance recently sat down with Dolin to discuss his newest book in greater detail. That interview can heard on the Cape Ann Museum website here: http://www.capeannmuseum.org/video-links/

Bad Joke of the Week

Lisa Marie to Host The Dave Sag’s Blues Party Tonight! The Rhumb Line 8:30pm 4.28.2016 The Joint will be jumpin!

Dave says,

Well,I’ve signed up for elective surgery on my flabby elbow skin (hetero-weenisectomy) this Thursday and will be be busy recuperating with a Martini or three, so , in the meantime, why not stop holding your breath and inhale a little bit of Ms. Lisa Marie who will be charging in on her caparisoned horse, lance aboiling ,to skewer you with another night of electro-convulsive blues, and other music. And she’s bringing along the right people. She’s got Johnny Juxo to bang his shoe on the keyboard, “Silverfish” Steve on scratchy catarrh, and Dana “Bonefish” Bonardi on the bangulators. Sounds like a plan. Me, I’ll be showing up late in my black suit, in case you wanna see what I look like when I buy the farm! (minus the formaldehyde).
