My View of Life on the Dock
Did you know that Dan King plays each Wednesday at the Rhumb Line with a spotlight guest? This Wednesday, Dan King invites Jay Aptt to join him. Kitchen is open and the live music is 6:00-9:00. Give yourself a nice live music bump to get through the rest of the week! And maybe a bowl of French Onion Soup and a beverage as well.
Backyard birding was particularly interesting in the day after the recent snowfall. It was sunny and snowy and there was fresh birdseed to tempt our visitors. The Merlin bird app indicated there was quite a variety out there.

The Sawyer Free Library is pleased to host the Cape Ann Climate Coalition on Thursday, January 25, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at 21 Main Street for an interactive presentation on the benefits of electrifying everything in your home.
Whether you rent or own, are ready to make decisions, or are gathering information for future decisions, you’ll want to attend this free discussion. Learn from Cape Ann residents about what you can do as a Cape Ann resident to “Electrify Everything” and make your home here on Cape Ann more energy efficient.
The event will feature a “Breakfast for Dinner” demonstration on induction cooktops. They will make pancakes, hot cocoa, and tea for everyone to eat and drink using induction cooktops; explain the benefits of cooking with induction stoves; raffle off a portable induction cooktop; and discuss the energy rebates and incentives for all income households, including tenant households. The event is free and open to all. Registration is requested at sawyerfreelibrary.org.
The Sawyer Free Library, temporarily located at 21 Main Street and online 24/7, is looking forward to officially opening its new and modernized space in the fall of 2025. The renovated and expanded 2025 Sawyer Free Library will be the first public building on Cape Ann that generates renewable energy from solar and uses no fossil fuels for the building’s site energy. The Sawyer Free Library is committed to achieving a LEED Gold Certification and Mass Save Path 1 Net- Zero-Ready Verification —a status achieved by minimizing energy demand, generating as much electricity on site as possible through solar, and securing a renewable source for additional electricity to achieve net-zero energy.
The Sawyer Free Library knows that every action we take individually and collectively toward making our environment resilient and sustainable is a step toward a net zero-impact future.

The February 3rd concert features a young woman who Celene and I saw at a Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. She impressed us mightily, and we have been looking forward to this show. Her name is Joy Clark, she was born and raised in New Orleans and still lives there, and she’ll be accompanied by two more terrific musicians from New Orleans.
The concert page, with more information and links for tickets, is at https://oldslooppresents.org/performance/joy-clark-2024
Here is a video of Joy performing her song One Step in the Right Direction:
Every day something catches my eye while driving around our city that simply says, “Gloucester.” The other day it was these…..and, coincidentally, I noticed later that the name “Gloucester Marine” can be seen in the photo as well.
We took a quick walk around the dock at Maritime Gloucester on the Harbor Loop in the sun following the snowfall. I cannot resist the setting down there especially on such a beautiful day. Remember to visit the museum Thursday-Monday (today!) 10 am – 4 pm.

What a great day on Saturday visiting the ice sculptures, retail stores and restaurants participating in this fun event. Even though it was chilly, lots of people walking around and enjoying this event. Of course, visiting our fabulous Cape Ann Museum. Every time we visit the Museum, we enjoy it more and more.
