“Eat Food or Die โ A Plea for Help.”
Simple. Often overlooked. And my current challenge. There’s something about the cancer, the chemo, the hormone or radiation therapy, or my 14 daily medications that screwed up my eating. I can quaff water, but when swallowing most liquids and solid food I gag and burp up the clear sticky stuff. You can’t live on water alone. The only substance I can nourish myself with is supermarket brand chicken broth and rice soup. That’s the thin cheap stuff that’s 79ยข for a small can.
I was never a health food nut, but the writing’s on the wall for me (or rather the screen). Coconut milk perhaps? I can’t do spices, dairy, citrus, any more than a sliver of meat, and all bites are bird size and extra chewed.
Before I got sick, Joey C. called me Big Fred at 250 lbs. My lowest weight from cancer was 160 lbs. The height of my recovery registered 184 lbs and my doctors were happy. Now I weigh in at 171 lbs. and nobody’s happy. Please help me with your suggestions. Nothing too crazy please.
Below is the Sugar Cane luncheon I bought for my #1 Angel Donna Ardizoni. I only ate the broth from the seafood noodle soup (R). A great deal for $14. The Sugar Cane is aChinese/Vietnamese restaurant on Main Street in Peabody. Worth a visit.
Fenway Farms
Another great addition to the already fabulous Fenway Park…
High above Gate A, on the famous Yawkey Way, is the new Fenway Farms. ย No, this is not some new Farm League team…it is instead the “largest organic rooftop garden in the majors.” ย How cool is that?!
And, just like the beginning of the Red Sox baseball season, Fenway Farms is full of wins! Improved air quality. Win. Energy reduction. Win. A teaching opportunity for local youth. Win. Fresh, organic produce to be used within the ballpark concessions and the EMC Club. Win.
Those Red Sox are always thinking.

People that refuse to use Google are maddening!
Let me clarify.ย I know this topic has come up at least a dozen or so times,ย maybe a hundred times on the blog.
Don’t believe me? GOOGLE the phrase: GoodMorningGloucester “Google is your friend”
Actually,ย Let me Google the search results for you,ย here-
HERE ARE THE SEARCH RESULTS FOR GOODMORNINGGLOUCESTER “Google is your friend”
But it is beyond frustrating when the same people ask you the simplest questions via social media which require more keystrokes to actually type the question than it would to get their answer had they simply typed the subject into Google.
An example of this would be
Where in Hades is Cape Ann Giclee?
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Cape+Ann+Giclee+address
I know I’m not cracking up, ย please just for my own sanity, ย click on this link to Google-
And type in- Cape Ann Giclee address
You get the address to Cape Ann Giclee, ย right?ย
I’m not the only person in the world for which Google engineers designed the algorithms to give the desired search results am I?ย
Am I living in some crazy Google MATRIX world where Googling ย something only gives the desired results to me and the rest of the world gets exactly the opposite search results of what they were looking for?
FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST PLEASE FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT PEOPLE! IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE I SWEAR!

New Kid on the Blog

Hi FOB’s,
I am James Eves,ย owner of Cape Ann Giclรฉe. Some of you may recognize me from the blog and some from my work with artists and photographersย on Cape Ann.ย I’ve been a huge Friendย Of the Blog for several years andย some folks have assumed that I am a contributor to the blog because I have been on it so often. However, today is my first day as an actual contributor. Wah-Hoo!
It all happened the other day…
during a little pre-game celebrating for the Bikini Speedo Dodgeball world championship 2015. I mentioned to Joey that I’ve been thinking about creating a calendar for art events on Cape Ann. I want a single place to go on-line to see what isย happening over the weekend and alert me on my phone. I have, too often, missed openings for shows that I really wanted to see simply because I didn’t have a convenient way to be reminded of the event. Joey loved the idea and wanted it for his FOB’s. He’s always looking for ways forย the folks inย his community be well informed.
I had a bit of a buzz on…
and didn’t think about it again,ย until Joey called today and set me up as a contributor. I am so pumped. I can’t wait to have a single place to see what’s happening in the world of art on Cape Ann and to share it with all you FOB’s.
I’ll be posting art events in two ways
The first will be in the usual manner. I’ll post announcements and press releases straight into the blog.
The second is a public google calendar that I will maintain and is hosted at the Cape Ann Giclรฉe web site on the Cape Ann Art Events page. Submissions for the Calendar must have the following
- A Title
- A Date and Time
- A Place including complete address
- A Short description (no more than a paragraph)
I hope this calendar will help us all get out and see (and buy) art.
COMING SOON “ART, ROCKS!”
