The snow storm in Connecticut
I was home for Christmas, which was great. I didn’t make it back to Gloucester before the storm because I got laid up with a stomach sickness (the cause of my not having a post ready yesterday). As a consequence, I go to enjoy a good snowfall at home! We got around 8″ of snow.

So I Hated Windows 8 So Much That I Just Ordered Up and Paid For Windows 7 Software To Install On My New Windows 8 Laptop
THAT’S HOW MUCH I HATED IT!
I know of no man woman or child that went out of their way to defend Windows 7 to Apple fanboys like buddies Paul Morrison and Kim Smith than yours truly.
This guy’s idea of a work computer is not just a consumption device. It’s a device used to edit and create content for CBS Boston’s Most Valuable Blog and North Shore Magazine’s Best Blog, www.goodmorninggloucester.com
As big of a dope as I am, when it comes to creating content I’d say my opinion on this matters.
Windows 8 is a HUGE STEP BACKWARDS if you are a creator.  If you are a person that only uses their computer to casually browse the internet then you probably wouldn’t have a problem with it.
In my opinion WINDOWS 8 SUCKS ASS. They dumbed down the interface so the windows 8 PC will be universally synced through the cloud to windows tablets and windows phones. While the Windows phone version might be great because it brings up the level of usability on a phone, by the same measure they dumbed the interface down on the desktop of the PC.
So disappointing.
I’m paying money to go back a generation of an operating system. Congrats Microsoft, one of your biggest fans is disgusted.

Do You Know
where the photo of the stained glass carousel horse was taken? This is a really tough one. I will be very surprised if someone knows. The horse was cut from its background and pasted into a photo of peeling paint on the hull of a boat at the Marine Railways.

Wintry Harbor Walk at Dawn
The Harbor Walk was beautiful this chilly dawn after the first significant snowfall, with a deceptively warm-appearing orange sherbet sunrise. Despite frozen fingers and toes, I couldn’t help but feel blessed by the beauty that surrounds.
