Hey Joey-
My husband, son and I went to see the NE Revolution play their first of two games against Sporting Kansas City. The Rev’s won, 2-1!
MLS games are a bargain: 23 bucks a ticket & free parking!
Thanks!

Pet of the Week- Chester
Hello, my name is Chester, I am a five-year-old male Retriever/Golden mix. I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid (CAAA), located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter in Gloucester. A few things to know. I do like to chew a lot so I am learning to practice carrying a toy or ball around so I don’t get tempted to nibble on other things like my leash. I am a very smart and love to learn new things. I am happiest when with humans. I do not like cats or dogs – kind of scared, so I am looking to be your one and only. I am a special needs adoption because I have a heart murmur. The staff arranged for a consult with a vet and I even had an echo-cardiogram and ultrasound and the doctors said I will not require any medicine or extra treatment and I should have a normal lifestyle. But the way, I just turned five, so it isn’t too late to have a birthday party for me!

Hello!
This Thursday, November 7, at 7pm I’m giving a talk on my new book, The Art of Negotiation: How to Improvise Agreement in a Chaotic World.
The event, sponsored by the Bookstore in Gloucester and the Rocky Neck Cultural Center, will be at the latter’s wonderful facility at 6 Wonson Street, Gloucester.They’re just beyond the small causeway going over to the Neck. There’s public parking nearby.
Rather than read from the book, I’ll provide a multi-media glimpse of the work on which it’s based, including:
- A revealing study with psychologist Kim Leary on why many people feel anxious about negotiating;
- Interviews with great negotiators like UN trouble-shooter Lakhdar Brahimi and former Senator George Mitchell, who mediated the Good Friday Accords in Northern Ireland; and
- Surprising lessons I’ve learned from master improvisers in other realms, including trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and the visionary artists, Christo and Jeanne Claude.
I’m looking forward to seeing friends and neighbors and sharing what I’ve learned about negotiation over the years (and what still puzzles me). We’ll have wine, soft drinks, and light refreshments. I hope you can come!
Mike Wheeler

The Broadcast is hard-edged, soulful rock music bursting-at-the-seams.

A dynamic ensemble known for their powerful live performances, The Broadcast continues to break new ground across the country with vocal powerhouse Caitlin Krisko leading every step of the way. Described by audiences as a modern day “Grace Slick meets Led Zeppelin”, The Broadcast’s infectious energy and authentic approach to rock & roll music has propelled them into the live music community spotlight. The band is currently on tour supporting their new studio album “Dodge the Arrow” released September 2013.
