Christopher Morley Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

“High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.”

Christopher Morley (1890-1957)

Born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Morley was the valedictorian of his class at Haverford College and spent three years in Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Although sometimes unacknowledged today, he had an enormous effect on American journalism and literature in the first half of the twentieth century, writing over 100 novels, plays, and collections of essays. A great fan of Arthur Conan Doyle; he was a founder of the Baker Street Irregulars and annotated an edition of Doyle’s complete works, while also compiling a similar edition of Shakespeare. He was the editor of the 11th and 12th editions of Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations, (a book which launched my interest in quotes long before the Internet made them ubiquitous,) and a judge for The Book of the Month Club, which regularly exposed the mass market to works with high aspirations. His last quote, published after his death, reads: “Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.”

Atlantic Saltworks: Becoming a Gloucester Business + Launching a Kickstarter Campaign!

Hi Joey,

Since you first reached out to us late last year, we have received nothing but a positive welcome from everyone in Gloucester and have had such a demand for our salt that we have decided to open up a new salt making facility in Gloucester!  We are close to identifying a location to get the move started.  This new place of our own will help us meet growing demand, scale our business and make us Gloucester based.

But, we need help to make it a reality. So, we’ve turned to crowdsourced funding on Kickstarter to help raise some of the funds needed. We are hoping you might be able to help spread the word about our impending arrival and our kickstarter campaign. If you or anyone else is interested in supporting us, here is a link to the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlanticsaltworks1/a-modern-day-salt-works-in-gloucester-mass

Your amazing support is what brought us to Gloucester in the first place, and we can’t wait to be a permanent part of the community!!

Thanks a million!

Alison and Heather

Cape Ann Museum Annual Meeting

Celebrating the Accomplishments of 2013

The Cape Ann Museum will hold its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will take place at Cruiseport Gloucester, 6 Rowe Square, Gloucester and is open to the public.

2013 was a year of momentous change for the Cape Ann Museum. Staff and board members will recap and review last year’s accomplishments, including the launch of a $5 million capital campaign and the start of an essential and significant renovation project. In addition to electing directors and officers, Cape Ann Museum members will be asked to vote on a proposal that, if adopted by at least two-thirds of all of the members eligible to vote, would change the legal name of the corporation from Cape Ann Historical Association to Cape Ann Museum to conform to the name adopted by the Board of Directors.

Reminder: Cape Ann Milkweed Project Seed Pickup and Information Day is Sunday, May 18th, from 9:30 to Noon

Monarch Butterflies Gloucester Massachusetts ©Kim Smith 2006Eastern Point during the Monarch’s southward migration in late summer.

The first Monarchs of Spring 2014 have been sighted in Massachusetts (Kingston), as has emerging milkweed. For the past week, a weather pattern has been in place that is perfect for the Monarchs northward migration. Powerful south winds pumped warm air northward and in conditions such as these, Monarchs are carried from southern regions more quickly northward.

Below is a map from the Journey North website illustrating favorable wind patterns for Monarchs.

Our milkweed and New England Aster seed pickup day is this coming Sunday from 9:30 to noon at Captain Joe and Sons. Captain Joe’s is located at 95 East Main Street and you can find directions posted on their website here. Thanks so much to Joey for hosting the event at the dock. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Henry Cooper Submits Marina Evans Video from Granite Visions

Hi Kim,

The GMG post looks awesome, thanks for tagging Granite Visions in it. Granite Visions is a video production project between my friend Michael Kelly and myself. We have a few videos on our youtube channel: www.youtube.com/granitevisions. We’re working on a website.

One of our latest projects is a really great looking interview and 2 music videos featuring Cape Ann singer/songwriter Marina Evans. Any way we could get these on GMG?

Thanks,
Henry

  She’ll be bringing along her posse of sympathetic players including “Silvertone” Steve or is it “Silverfish?” on guitar, Johnny Juxo, a new guy for me, on kleeboards, and Steevee “HaHa” Chaggaris, on defibrillators. I’ll be on base, in the corner, and hopefully, in the pocket.  Do come! Our new hours are 8:30 to 11:30.

Only in Gloucester!

Only in Gloucester! The two ads appeared side by side in yesterday's Gloucester Daily Times. National Geographic is looking for new tuna boats, captains and crew who are tough and outgoing. We've got plenty of fishermen just like that here. www.WickedTunaCasting@gmail.com The Seaport Grille menu, left, lists their weekly specials. My favorite is the lobster roll with fries (slaw can be substituted). It contains the meat of one lobster served in a fresh Virgillio's roll and is priced at $9.95. Seaport also has the best view of Gloucester's "working harbor."
