Gloucester Boys win in exciting close game with Lynn English 26-21… hard fought all the way. This one was not decided until the last moment.
Einstein.
Every once in a while you’ll hear me say how smart my boys are….and then, one of them will say something like, “Well, obviously that goat is a boy.”
And my bubble is burst.
And…to make matters worse, I’m pretty sure the goat to the far right was teasing him…and the goat in the middle was snickering.
“Did you hear what that kid said? He thinks Gertrude over here is a boy.”
“LOL”
So much for the Topsfield Fair being a learning experience.

AWOL in Africa 01966
A giraffe must have wandered from the sculpted granite animal park, and into someone’s driveway. This striking bronze animal changes color with the sunlight. When admiring the African animal sculpture park on Phillips Avenue in Rockport, turn and look directly behind you into the woods. If I’m not mistaken, this is the work of Chris Williams, who also created the bear family: https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2014/10/08/big-bear-hug/#comments

Poll- With Giusepppes Closed What Kind Of Restaurant Would You Like To Fill That Space
I think the only void we have in the dining scene on Cape Ann is Indian Food. If you’ve been to Anmol in Beverly you know it’s really fantastic. If we could lure the owners of Anmol to open up in the space in the basement of the Blackburn Building that would be round out Gloucester’s dining menu.
What type of restaurant would you like to see there?
Edit: After thinking about this I’m not sure that we have a true Steak House here. That would be something that could add to our dining options. However with the crazy high price of good beef I’m not sure that we could support a real deal Steak House. We could have a place that serves steak obviously but to get real aged beef after you triple your food cost (how most restaurants come up with their pricing) I don’t think we have enough people having business meetings on company credit cards that don’t care that they are spending $40 for a steak and $100 bottle of wine. That’s big city stuff.
So I stand by my original choice of Indian food. Oh and for the people that have never tried Indian food, you’re really missing out. Anmol is a treasure for the people in Beverly.

Next Step for Fred
All VNA services have discharged me because of my improvement and insurance requirements. This means no more weekly visiting Registered Nurses (Diane), no more Kathleen (my physical therapist), and Shelly (my occupational therapist). They all helped me so much that it brings tears to my eyes to see them go. Now, I must look to outpatient physical rehab facilities. There are three on Cape Ann (I cannot walk or drive). Two are in Blackburn Park, and one is at Addison Gilbert Hospital, the place that initially saved my life. Transportation-wise, AGH is the most convenient. I’m determined to be walking by Thanksgiving, come hell or high water. Any suggestions for the rehab facility? (Note: I’m also going to follow an exercise program at home. Kathleen: “Walking is the best exercise you can have, because it uses all of your muscles.”) In retrospect, I should not only thank the medical professionals who saved my life three times this year, but also the dedicated professional therapists from Den-mar and Seacoast, who all helped restore my physical abilities and continue to stay healthy.

All Things Victorian First Place TV Award For Cape Ann TV
Lisa Griffiths aka Victoriana Lady Lisa (aka That Nutty Redhead) wearing circa 1900 attire from her antique traveling museum collection. Shawl donated by Cape Ann resident Ruth Burnham.
I am incredibly honored, and proud, of John Grant and my 1st Place Award for our TV program “All Things Victorian” which airs Thursday 8:30pm on Cape Ann TV. We attended the awards ceremony today in NH. We won for “Profile Talk Show” in the professional category, in the northeast region including New England and New York. We are delighted that other TV stations already want to broadcast the program in their area.
We thank the Alliance for Community Media, their judges, and Cape Ann TV for this wonderful opportunity to promote Victorian history. I also thank my soul mate and co-producer John Thomas Grant for creating this program, and for the hours of work that he puts into each show.
We are excited about the upcoming episodes, which include a Victorian Tea at the historic Emerson Inn in Rockport, an exclusive Steampunk exhibition, a Victorian baking show, an expert on Genealogy, and much more. Stay tuned, and prepare to be dazzled!
You can watch episodes on CapeAnnTV.org and on Youtube under “All Things Victorian.”
