Is he nauseated, or just bored? I shot this photo at the Abbey of Solesmes in France, during my recent vacation.

Gloucester Seniors in the PACE Olympics!
Carol Pallazolla Writes-
Hi Joey!
How are you? I just wanted to see if you could post for us our special event showcasing all the hard work and training our Gloucester PACE participants have given to be in our very own PACE Olympics! These senior citizens have not let their limits or disabilities hold them back and they are ready to show their stuff! They are competing against our other PACE sites from Beverly and Lynn next week on Thursday, November 1 at Danvers Indoor Sports on Rt. 114. It’s a free event that anyone can come too and lunch is included! Just RSVP at 781-715-6694 or email to info@pacenorthshore.org
You will also be inspired by our guest speaker Dick Hoyt of Team Hoyt as he speaks to help kick off our PACE Olympics with our participants, very exciting! Anyone who’s familiar with the Boston Marathon will recognize Dick as the inspirational father who does the race each year with his son Rick who has cerebal palsy. Together they have competed in over 1,090 events at Team Hoyt! Come get inspired as he shares the Team Hoyt Motto “Yes You Can!”
Here is our facebook event page link:

The Whale before the Storm
I just had to check out the whale before and if it washes back out to sea. Such a magnificent creature!
At this point, it doesn’t smell or look too good, but it’s a pretty cool life experience.

Fun With Cape Ann Images From Ann Kennedy
Fun with Cape Ann images…
Hi Joey. Just for fun, I’ve been designing fabrics using my Cape Ann photos. Spoonflower is a great website and although just experimenting, here’s a link to my "shop" (called Adagio) if you think GMG readers would enjoy a way to play with their photos. It’s fun, easy and a good way to spend time waiting for our next trip to Gloucester. http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/adagio?filter_action=collection&info_action=&nav_action=all&shop_selection=all_collection&sub_action=new_profile
Loving all the community news coming up these days!

Unidentified Leaping Creature May Have Been Identified
Cynthia Kenny Sam forwarded my unidentified leaping creature post to her son, Oen, who came up with this identification: a mink. Looking at the mink print (inset on the lower left) next to the print I photographed, they do look more alike than anything else I have seen. I wouldn’t have thought we had mink on Cape Ann, but it looks like we might have an identification. Has anyone ever seen or heard of mink sightings around Cape Ann?
