Santa Will Be At Passports Tonight at 5PM
Origami from Friday night, on the tree
On Friday night I taught these four holiday decorations at The Hive. From top to bottom: a relatively simple Santa, a star-like ornament, a menorah, and a modular cube (made from six modules, each folded from a square of paper, and joined together without glue).
The origami class time for Tuesday at Art Haven is going to have to change from the 6:30 time slot I mentioned before, but I don’t have the details worked out yet. I will put up the info as soon as I have it.

Mixing it Up
Is there such a thing as too much Rubber Duck?
Rubber Duck and her sister were chatting before Thanksgiving about, wait for it, … … …
Rubber Ducks.
RD was wondering if she was suffering from over exposure and so she thought that a poll might be worthwhile to gauge what the GMG reader thinks. This is a multiple choice poll so you can vote for any or all. Here at GMG we listen to our readers.

Our Hearts are Broken Today
As are many today doing same, my thoughts and prayers turn to the children and teachers that were gunned down in Connecticut, and their broken hearted families.
The children belong to all of us, and as our President said, “Our hearts are broken today.”
Today I had planned to announce the winner of the book give-away and to post a beautiful essay about Niles Pond written by Gloucester resident and celebrated author JoeAnn Hart; will save all for tomorrow.
Come kick off your Sunday evening with Bradley Royds @ The Rhumb Line 6:00-9:00 pm
Fishmas tree progress report
Mary Ann and David are getting the fish onto the tree! Today I received a whole school of more than 200 wonderful origami fish folded by the students of St. Ann School (huge thanks to Gemma Amero Flavin, their art teacher!). I don’t have an exact total count yet, but with these new additions and those folded throughout the week, we probably have close to 700! Keep folding fish to help us reach our goal of 1000!
I’ll be folding a star for the top sometime in the next few days.

Ellen DeGeneres Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
December 13, 2012
“Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.”
Ellen DeGeneres (1958- )
A Louisiana native, DeGeneres began her public career as a stand-up comedian after a number of working class experiences as a waitress, house painter and bartender. She had a sitcom for several years before her syndicated talk program The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which has won multiple Emmys. She has appeared in several movies and is in demand as a voice actor, especially since her award-winning role as Dory in Finding Nemo. Her wisecracking ability to think on her feet has made her a memorable host of the Emmys and the Academy Awards. She famously came out as a lesbian on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1997 and is married to Portia Rossi. DeGeneres is an animal rights activist and owns a vegan tapas bar in Los Angeles.
