My View of Life on the Dock
I was craving a taco salad so GMG Jim took me to Tacos Lupita on Washington St for lunch recently. Just the right bright spot on a somewhat grey day! Order pickups were hopping and quite a variety of diners came in from young adults to working guys on lunch break so it’s clearly popular with a wide range of customers. And the pricing is very reasonable. Jim got a chicken taco and I had the salad. We sat to eat so we could watch the world go by along Washington St.
Going, Going…
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is delighted to present Brandenburg and Beyond, a neo-baroque ensemble featuring a combination of flute, oboe, harpsichord, and strings, performing in our annual Bach Birthday Concert on Saturday, March 21st at 7:30pm in the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, located on the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets.
The ensemble performs classic baroque works as well as contemporary music written in this century. The resident harpsichordist, Chris Gantner, is a composer who frequently premiers new works specifically for the group. These New England-based artists perform all over the world and hold teaching and performance positions at various orchestras, colleges, and universities.
The program entitled “Bach and His Sons” will feature the following pieces:
Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 by J.S. Bach
Concerto for Flute and Strings in D Minor by C.P.E. Bach
Prelude and Fugue in C Minor for Organ by J.S. Bach
The Short Tempered Klavier by P.D.Q. Bach – arranged for this occasion and unique instrumentation by Chris Gantner

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It seems only “proper” that we should wrap up the occasional and random Irish Coffee tasting series with a Proper Irish Coffee from Mile Marker on Essex Ave. As always, we were greeted warmly when we arrived with Irish Coffee on our minds. It is indeed the proper Irish Coffee served hot with lightly whipped cold cream and (I believe) Proper Irish Whiskey. My cup overflowed! Thank you Mile Marker! Slainte to all! See you around town today!
Eastern point on Sunday gave Rick and I a smile with these cuties resting on the rocks.
