Pet of the Week-Max
Super Senior Max here! My super power you ask? “Purr of Calming” because I am sure to warm your heart and calm your soul once you hear my sweet purr. I have a bit of a sad story…My owner passed away and I had no one that could take care of me. With all the changes I am feeling a bit shy and like to peek out at you from my bed. Think I could be the perfect match for you and your family? Super Seniors Cat Adoption Program is made possible in part by a grant from the Petco Foundation.

Would It Be Strange For A Man To Drive Across Town To Casually Drop In On His Wife’s Wine/Book Club With Her Girlfriends?
Say a woman gets together with her girlfriends every so often for a wine/book club night where they kabitz about women stuff and drink copious amounts of wine and pretend to talk about the latest books they’ve read and one of the husbands randomly drops in 3 weeks in a row. Is that strange or totally acceptable?

Good Eggs in Rockport
The other day I did some live blogging as some Navy midshipmen and sailors took the field against some very happy youth from the town of Rockport for a spirited game of kickball.
I wanted to take a moment to thank some of fantastic sponsors who helped make the Rockport Navy Weekend a success.
We all know that events such as this cannot happen without the time and energy given by committee members, volunteers, kind towns people, and of course, sponsors.
The sponsors’ banners were proudly displayed at the ball field.
After the game many hungry participants were treated to tons of pizza donated by the Rockport House of Pizza and delicious ice cream sandwiches donated by the Dairy Train!

Eating bait again and loving it.
Bored with kayaking? Stop and bounce a little silvery thing off the bottom and catch a few Atlantic Mackerel. (Three Lanterns Marine, Deadly Dick Lure, good for lots of stuff, go with a small one for the Atlantic Mackerel. Catch a Pollock and eat that or rehook on something bigger and drop down for a blue or a low IQ Striper.)
Jasper White has these as an appetizer for around 23 bucks at the Summer Shack. He adds some fancy Venezuelan pickle relish on the side. Skip that and use Genuine Vidalia Sweet Onion Mustard Relish from Seaview Farm in Rockport. Rubber Duck Seal of Approval.

John Sloan Lecture Series at the Cape Ann Museum
Breezy Day Gloucester by John Sloan
Three Moderns Paint Gloucester: Sloan, Hartley, and Hopper on Cape Ann
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (July 10, 2015) – The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present Three Moderns Paint Gloucester: Sloan, Hartley, and Hopper on Cape Ann on July 23 at 7:00 p.m. This is the first in a series of three lectures being offered in conjunction with the John Sloan Gloucester Days exhibition on view at the Museum through November 29, 2015.
Presented by Carol Troyen, an independent scholar and author, and the Kristin and Roger Servison Curator Emerita of American Paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Although they never overlapped in Gloucester, three of the greatest painters of the early 20th century – John Sloan, Edward Hopper, and Marsden Hartley – spent significant parts of their careers on Cape Ann. The three artists’ responses to the region differed markedly, but the area’s appealing vistas led each to a new and modern style. The lecture will trace their steps through Gloucester and compare what each found there.
Tickets for the lecture series are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. For the series, tickets are $25 for members and $40 for non-members. For more information, call 978-283-0455 x10 or email:info@capeannmuseum.org.
The series continues with John Sloan, Robert Henri, and John Butler Yeats: A Portrait of Friendship presented by Avis Berman on August 13th and Passing through Gloucester: John Sloan Between City and Country presented by Michael Lobel on October 30th.
About the exhibition:
One of this country’s most important artists of the early 20th century and a highly respected teacher, John Sloan (1871-1951) spent five summers—1914 through 1918—living and working on Cape Ann. During that time he created nearly 300 finished oil paintings, using Gloucester’s rugged landscape as a backdrop to experiment with color and explore ideas about form, texture and light. Arguably the most productive period of his career, the body of work that Sloan created during this time continues to astonish and delight viewers a century after it was completed.
The Cape Ann Museum is proud to have five major works by John Sloan in its permanent collection: Sunflowers, Rocky Neck, 1914; Old Cone (Uncle Sam), 1914; Glare on the Bay, c.1914; Red Warehouses at Gloucester, 1914; andDogtown, Ruined Blue Fences, 1916. Approximately 30 additional works, drawn from public and private collections across the country, will also be on display.
Exhibition Sponsors:
John Sloan Gloucester Days is sponsored by Carpenter & MacNeille Architects and Builders, Inc. and by Cape Ann Savings Trust & Financial Services.

Andre’s Famous BBQ
Finally got down to Madfish Grille to try Andre’s Famous BBQ yesterday. He is there Thursday through Sunday from noon until closing, although he didn’t open until 5:00 yesterday, so maybe best to call ahead to make sure he is there. The prices are reasonable, the food is very fresh and delicious. I had the chicken kabob and a cucumber, tomato and avocado salad. The vegetables were fresh and crispy (except the avocado, which was perfectly ripe) and the dressing was very tasty. The chicken was marvelous – juicy and tender with a BBQ sauce that was sweet with a nice hot kick to it. I don’t care for traditional BBQ sauce, but this was delicious. There was live music playing, which I am told will be happening on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which makes this a really great spot to go on the weekend. The bar was very quick and easy to get service at, unlike past years when it could be a challenge to get a beverage, and there was a good crowd, so it wasn’t like I was the only one waiting for service at the bar. There is no wait staff. You order from Andre and the bar, and then sit out under the canopy and enjoy the view, good food and music. Check it out. The Madfish has a cool, funky, colorful new look, which is fun and happy.
