Were’s the Blood?
I’ve been under the weather in the blood count department, with almost five transfusions in the last week, which weakened me greatly. I’d love to talk to everyone.

Blackburn Challenge Outrigger Canoe Video
Hi Joey,
My lovely wife, Mary Kay, Cindy Perry and Scott Tyrrell paddled a 4-person outrigger canoe in last week’s Blackburn Challenge. We belong to Boston Outrigger Racing Association and our club was well represented in this year’s event. The 4-person outrigger is called “The Duke” and had a couple of GoPro’s running. As you know, the seas were big and there was plenty of adventure! Our “ama” or outrigger filled up with water and we had to drain it on the beach in Gap’s Cove. We had a terrific race and hope Good Morning Gloucester enjoys our video!

Sweet or Sour
We spied this graffiti on a rock on Straitsmouth Island while hauling lobster traps the other day.
I’m feeling kind of torn about it. While the sentiment is sweet (right?)….it’s still legitimate vandalism isn’t it…kind of sour? Or is it just innocent fun? Maybe it will wash away soon? Or is it there forever…or at least a really, really long time?
I remember judging how far we were in our weekly trips to my grandparents’ house when I was little and living “up the line” by the familiar graffiti on the rocks along Route 128. Certainly graffiti has its place in our culture, but is a beautiful island sanctuary the right place?
I don’t know. Thoughts?

Kate started working out using the Beachbody Workout. She feels great, loves the products and the workouts and that’s why she became a Beachbody Coach. I can attest to her being totally motivated by the workout and the challenges and most importantly the results. I’m 100% convinced that it works big time.

Millard Fuller Quote of the Week from Greg Bover
The Quoter is still sailing. Here’s another one of my favorites from the collection for your consideration.
“It is easier to act your way to right thinking than it is to think your way to right action.”
Millard Fuller (1935-2009)
Fuller founded Habitat for Humanity, which has built more than 150,000 homes for those in need in more than 90 countries. Volunteers build houses with the recipients, who then repay the cost of materials at no interest, revolutionizing the way in which philanthropy works. The holder of 50 honorary degrees, Bill Clinton awarded him the Medal of Freedom in 1996.
