If There’s a God They Won’t Let Peyton Manning Win Today
For no other reason than just wanting to put to rest any discussion with him in the same category as Tom Brady as the Best QB of all time.
It’s very simple why I want the Seahawks to win. For the love of god I just can’t bear to listen to sports media talk about Peyton incessantly all next year.
Let him lose and let him lose decisively.
In a perfect world Richard Sherman stubs his toe on the first play of the game, Payton Manning keys on his replacement and throws 5 interceptions.
For the record I think Peyton Manning is a classy guy and a great quarterback. I’m just sick of looking at Tom Brady’s far and away better statistics in just about every category and hearing the sports media talk about Manning as if he is even in the same category of elite QB.
Who do you want to win tonight’s Superbowl?

Making Sunday Dinner with My New Favorite Kitchen Gadget
A few weeks ago while shopping the clearance section at our local Marshalls I spotted a marked down ravioli press, a kitchen gadget I have always wanted to try. I tossed it in my drawer of cutters and kinda forgot about it until being inspired to make homemade pasta during my trip to Boston’s North End yesterday. For years I have cut and pressed ravioli by hand just like my Grandmother Felicia did. I am beyond thrilled to have stumbled across this ravioli press. I am even more thrilled by how incredibly easy it was to use and how well it cut and sealed each raviolis edge, at the same time. I give this gadget a double thumbs ups and I know my grandmother Felicia would have too!
Yesterday after returning home from Boston I headed straight to the kitchen to find that ravioli press and whipped up 74 ricotta filled ravioli for todays Pre-Game Sunday Dinner
Today we enjoyed the fruits of my yesterdays labor, and according to my husband son BJ and princess Coconut…they were “the best I have ever made!”

Screw That Rat Punxsutawney
Punxatawney Phil six more weeks of winter blah blah blah if you plan your life around a rat in Pensyltucky I got news for you. The rat is only right 41% of the time since 1987.

Now go outside this lovely morning on Cape Ann and check it out. After a Polar Vortex or three the morning seems balmy. And the sunrise over the Rockport Breakwater was lovely.
Rubber Duck has called it: Winter is over. Let’s start scraping, buy some bottom paint, maybe some deadly dick lures to catch an early mackerel.
Oceanside Hotel Menu September 1, 1947 Magnolia MA
Good Evening Joey,
I was going through some papers today and found a dinner menu from the Oceanside Hotel
or the night of September 1, 1947. My mother, who was a 17 year old nanny, told me she had saved it from her trip there with the Drucker family for whom she worked. When I googled the hotel, I found your blog.
I have attached a scan of it. If this is something that you would like for your collection, I would be happy to forward it. My mother had kept it folded all these years, so it shows some wear. I would like very much to give it to someone to whom it means more, either yourself or anyone else, as she passed years ago and it does not hold much sentimental meaning to me.
Hoping you may want it,
Sharon Viola

Theatre in the Pines Prepares for spring performance
Nan Webber, Director, Theatre in The Pines, announced recently that The Heiress, by Ruth & Augusus Goetz will be the spring program in May.
The Heiress, takes place in New York in the 1850’s and the story tells of a shy and plain young girl , Catherine Sloper who falls desperately in love with a delightful young fortune hunter. Catherine lacks the worldliness from realizing the young man proposing to her is not entirely drawn to her by her charm.
Performance of The Heiress will take place on May 15, 16, 17 & 18. at Sprian Hall, located on the corner of Broadway and School Street in Rockport.
Plans are also underway for the September performance of Romeo & Juliet in September at the Shlin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport.
Further details regarding both performance will be shared as these date near.
Hi Joey,
I’m excited to share the news that a free community sing-a-long to celebrate the life, spirit and music of Pete Seeger has been planned for Friday, February 7 at 7:00 PM at the Lanesville Community Center.
Pete Seeger, one of America’s best-loved folksingers, an untiring activist, environmentalist, and an inspiration to many, passed away on January 27th, 2014.
This will be a participatory evening. Though a number of seasoned Cape Ann folk performers (roster is still growing!) will attend prepared to lead songs, all are welcome to bring acoustic instruments and a song or story to share. Song sheets will be available.
We hope the 7:00 start time will encourage families with young children to attend. It’s fine to bring snacks or non-alcoholic drinks to share if so desired. Spread the word! Bring friends! Bring family! And remember, there is no charge for admission.
Rose Sheehan,

Super Bowl Puppy Love
Only in America are the artistic and humorous commercials as eagerly anticipated as is the main event! This commercial really pulls at your heart strings. What’s not to love!
When first I heard the commercial I thought the beginning of the soundtrack sounded similar to the chorus of the Lumineer’s sweet song “Ho-Hey.” Do you hear the similarities?
