BREAKING NEWS: GMG to be the Boston area’s first Slog (Smell Blog)
Keeping up with bleeding edge technologies has always been Joey’s passion, so it was no surprise when he told me he had already been approved by Google to be the first Boston Area blog to get his smell into their new Aromabase.
Just in case you didn’t know, Google introduced smell search today under the moniker Google Nose, which has been hailed as the latest scentsation in search — and as you might expect, Our Boy Joey is right on top of things.
We all know that email is for old farts. Facebook’s already in decline. Joey’s interviews with people who tweet are all done. Now it’s time for the next big thing… and here it is:
Watch the video and you’ll see how to get the full aroma of Joey’s dock right at your computer, tablet or smart-phone. GMG’s new tag My Smell on the Dock will debut next week after the rest of you FOBs watch the video and follow instructions for getting your smells into Google’s Aromabase too.
Let’s make GMG one of the first blogs to adopt this new cutting edge technology with every post. Perhaps next year BONS will nominate GMG in their new “Smell” category.
Vickie and I are doing our part this afternoon. We’re bringing our smell phones to The Cave’s wine & cheese tasting at 4pm. With any luck, you’ll be able to get the full aroma from our post tomorrow.

of laughter, I promise. HAPPY 70th, Joycie! Just look how
stunningly gorgeous she still is… ~ Fly

Easter Brunch at Olivia’s
Fr. John Kiley and I went to Olivia’s at Good Harbor for brunch on Easter. The staff were dressed up for Easter:
I had Grand Marnier French toast with extra crispy bacon, and Fr. John had roasted ham with potatoes and veggies:
Full disclosure: I was invited by the chef. But in all honesty, the food was delicious! And the portion sizes were generous; Fr. Kiley took half of his food home for later, and I had enough bacon to go with all the French toast (three good-sized slices of bread and something like six or seven slices of bacon, nice and crispy as I requested). Apparently word is getting around, because the place was pretty busy!
Who Hasn’t!

James and Anna Eves From Cape Ann Giclee Have Some Nice Things To Say
I listened with my headphones with the volume pumped up. I look forward to more. Of course we loved Joey discussing his addiction to the live feed of the GMG FOB show setup at our studio because the Joey texts of “Tell Craig to get out of way” “i can’t see Donna but I can hear her” or on our 9:00 am coffee stop “Where are you?the live stream is off” made the setup more lighthearted and fun but more importantly because he really got to the heart of the whole thing – community. Joey has managed to put together a group of contributers who are strong, smart, creative accomplished individuals, a truly diverse group of people who come together in the most incredible way and work together without egos getting in the way. As a new business to Gloucester we had no idea what to expect in terms of how we would be received, we knew there was a need for what we do but had no idea how the community would react or if people would even know we were here – thanks to Joey and GMG contributors like Alicia, Kim, Brian, Donna, Father Green, Ej, Kathy they do now. I had been a reader of GMG, watched the Ziptrip episode on Gloucester I knew GMG and Joey were a social media powerhouse and so appreciate all the mention we get on this blog, most new customers who come in are ones who read about us in the blog. But despite being such an incredible force in the community Joey and all the GMG contributors are the most down to earth, nicest, funniest, most joyful group of people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their focus is not on themselves and personal gain, their focus is on the community and creating and doing positive things and having fun while they do it – this is group of people driven to create in truly positive ways – thank you for allowing us to be a part this incredible community, it’s a blast!

Happy Easter to all/ Dog Town Eco Tour
Received these wonderful pictures from Silvie Lockerova from an event held at DogTown. On Saturday March 16th, 2013 at 1pm we had an organized eco-walk in the woods of DogTown. The event was sponsored by The Trustees of Reservations and Cape Ann Healing Center, guided by Ted Tarr and organized by Silvie Lockerova. The walk started by the main entrance of DogTown by the compost area. The large number of walkers proved the interest in history and nature of DogTown. Ted Tarr led people along the Babson Boulder Trail, through DogTown. At the end Ted Tarr invited walkers to join in the Cape Ann Trail Group supporting similar eco-walks on Cape Ann.
