My View of Life on the Dock
My boys typically play a fair amount of hockey at the rink at the Pingree School in Hamilton. The campus is beautiful and each fall you can take a tour around campus and see some pretty amazing art pieces located around the grounds.

Although we are barely past Labor Day and the weather is still warm, something changes in the light or the air or our attitudes when seasons are changing. Fall is approaching but summer isn’t ready to let go. It’s at this time of year that my mother’s birthday falls. Although she has been gone for 20 years now, her birthday is always a day of remembrance.

Summer lingers there but autumn is knocking at the door. It’s free admission if you are a Trustees member, so maybe you can take a similar ride soon.

No, they aren’t related. Smith Cove in the inner harbor reminds me of a coastal Maine town, only short on pine trees. And the swells from Hurricane Earl, way off shore, brought out the Jet-skis on Sunday.
During the Art Reception at the Manchester by the Sea Historical Society on Sunday, there was a demonstration on the art of fish printing. Such fun.
Gyotaku (魚拓, from gyo “fish” + taku ” stone impression “) is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form of its own.
