Hippolyte Jean Giradoux Quote of the Week

Giradoux“Only mediocre people are always at their best”

Hippolyte Jean Giradoux (1882-1944)

A French playwright, novelist, poet and essayist, Giradoux was primarily active in the period between the two World Wars, after having served in the First and having been awarded the Legion d’ Honour. He was also a diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and served as a judge in the Prix Blumenthal, a cultural award given to French artists during that era. Much of his work concerned the battle of the sexes, but was not well known in the English speaking world until his play “The Trojan War Will Not Take Place” was translated by Christopher Fry in the 1930’s.

Periwinkle Lane

BLM_2812-Edit-Edit

One of my favorite kayaking routes is from Corliss landing past Periwinkle Lane, under the A. Piatt Andrew bridge and down through Little River.   Although it can be a crazy route in the summer, early morning it can be fairly peaceful.   This view is from Periwinkle Lane…most summer days there are a few kayaks and skiffs tied up in the damp marsh just waiting for the tide to come in.  Looking forward to paddling again soon!

My Cumnares who made this years St. Joseph Feast happen!

Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart for helping carry on Our Sicilian tradition honoring St Joseph this year. It was Awesome display of faith friendship & family from beginning to end. I’m honored to be hosting my My Aunt Vincie & Uncle Michael Militello’s Altar and honored to be doing it with most incredible Cumnares in the world. This year I felt the need to call in all the saints and angel and decided to change the color scheme of the altar wanting to look more angelic like, I now know why. This years novena became even more special and important when my princess Coconut took ill on March 15 and needed emergency surgery on March 17th. I believe in the power of prayer and being surrounded by so much love really help me make it through the last few days. Friday night wouldn’t have happened without each and every one of you. They say it takes a village and my village is filled with rock stars Im feeling blessed this morning and ask you all to continue to pray for my Coconut.

If you click on the sunrise and enlarge you can see the Rockport Breakwater and also a very large barge. A click or two on maritime traffic and bread crumbs left behind by the tug Dolphin identifies the boat heading north five miles out. Hope the heat works on the bridge.

Anyone having a Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday Party Tonight?

Super bummed. My entire family wants to watch 15 episodes of Daredevil on Netflix tonight. Murder, mayhem. Awful. I want to watch Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday which is now streaming on Netflix!

It debuted at SXSW on Friday! Totally awesome. It has hot female bank robbers and balloons and two women fighting over Pee-Wee! OK, maybe not that last one. Ten farmer’s daughters. Yeah, that’s it.

Is anyone having a Pee-Wee viewing party tonight and can I be invited? I will bring Cheetos and Mister T cereal and tacos made in the basement of the Alamo! Can Rubber Duck come too?

Fish Chowdah

The key is all those Capt Joe lobster shells and guts simmered all day last fall to make a kick ass lobster stock. Frozen pints of gold. Then a big piece of haddock from Steve Connolly Seafood laid into potatoes and a few other things that were simmered in the stock.
