My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey. While enjoying a beautiful morning at Good Harbor Beach, I came across a cool & groovy neighbor making the beach a better place. How can the beach be better you might ask? Well when it is not covered in poop it is a lovelier place for all. Jim Dowd arrived today with his son, dog, shovel & bucket.
Thank you Jim!!

Hi Joey,
Here are some photos of icicles I took over the past week or so… Here’s hoping that spring is right around the corner.
Thanks!

Whenever their is a special occasion in the family, we all call cousin Lynanne to create a special masterpiece for the celebration. She has an incredible talented, unlike anyone I know, and is truly an artist in the kitchen.

Parmesan Potatoes~ One of my son BJ’s most favorite side dishes! He would happily eat these potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. BJ requested them last night as a side dish for he and his friend Williams’ Fried Muddica Chicken, Zucchini fries, and Parmesan potato dinner.
Dinner…Before 2 teenage boys stuck a fork in it….
And …
I think it’s safe to say they enjoyed their dinner! For Step-by-Step recipe details click see more Continue reading “Parmesan Potatoes”

Which One Do You Use?
I use tweetcaster on my mobile devices and tweetdeck on my desktop computer. For some reason the official twitter apps hide the great “Retweet with comment” option I find so useful. For sharing stuff from the blog it lets me edit the tweet to include shoutouts to the people mentioned I the post.
My guess is that the unofficial Twitter clients provide so much more functionality that if the official twitter app offered those options it would probably tax the Twitter servers so much that it would bring down the system.
Anyway that’s my skeptical guess.

There’s an unfinished conference room in the back of our office where no one ever goes. Table tops lie on their sides with no legs. Deconstructed cubicles stand against the walls, shelves and desktops assorted like giant puzzle pieces. A dry erase marker lies on the ground, never used.
It’s there in the dark that I write.

For the next few days while in Mexico I thought I’d repost several of the short videos that I made for our community this past year. First up is the Beautiful Blue Lobster, featuring Joey, and filmed at Captain Joe and Sons, with a trio of Pete Seeger songs.
The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
This winter has been tough on everyone, but the fishing industry has been particularly hard hit. In this week’s video, storm scenes set the stage for a chat with Steve Connolly Seafood‘s Romeo Solviletti who describes the effects of this stormy and frigid winter on Gloucester’s fleet, processors and customers.
Thanks to GMG’s own weatherman, Peter J. Lovasco, for his report during a 66 mph blast on the back shore.
