Joey, Joe, Marcy and Scotty,
Gizmo and Buster are sleeping hard in my office right now. They usually sleep together but today they found their own beds and passed out. Happy sleeping pups. They had such a great time on their field trip this morning. Thank you for having us. It was such a pleasure starting our morning with you.
We are so pumped for this event and look forward to cheering Joe on next Wednesday! See you next on the 25th!!

I saw an ad for this the other day. Then heard that it was featured on shark tank as well. Swimply. You search for neighborhood pools just as you would search for a home to rent by using an app or website. You obviously can check out photos of the pool and the outdoor amenities that surround it (grill, seating, hot tub, cabana, etc). All pools state a maximum number of quests and are rented by the hour. So, the question/questions are…. would you rent someone else’s swimming pool? Or, would you consider renting your own? Check out the website here: https://swimply.com/search
Spring has sprung at the heron rookery near Georgetown. I stopped by on such a warm day that it seemed some of the adult herons were compensating for the heat by panting and wing spreading. There are babies in most of the nests; as well as some adult pairs still getting nests prepared with sticks and other material. There are several nests in this rookery and I saw evidence of maybe a dozen chicks. Always a great treat.
There was another photographer there who had fallen just as I arrived and was having difficulty getting back up. I was attempting to assist when a young man drove up. I asked for help and he seemed hesitant at first but when I explained someone had fallen and was struggling, he jumped right in to help. So, thanks Good Samaritan! I hope the photographer is back on the trail again soon.
As pictures of the May 13 Sebastian Junger Gloucester 400 event had already been posted, I originally decided to refrain from commenting on the event (thanks for the photos, Scottie!). But then, life intervened in the form of disheartening and heartbreaking news relating (in part) to crimes of hatred and COVID numbers. And I began to reflect back on the words spoken by Mr. Junger and the emotional impact it had on me at the time began to resonate in an even bigger way. He spoke to the importance of human dignity and the fragility of life. These themes hit me right in the heart and then hit again even harder a few days later as I learned of the shootings in Buffalo. Human dignity is essential and life is far too fragile to waste time. Thank you Mr. Junger for the powerful reminder. I am very happy I was able to attend and congratulations to the Gloucester 400 for a great event. (PS May I suggest seeking Sian Heder’s return to Gloucester for a similar event? I expect that’s already been considered ……)
Summer’s here…
Locals help the locals!! And today, and tomorrow, I need some votes to help bring this potential BBQ Food Trailer to Gloucester!! Check out my profile, all the food photos, and info. Then cast a vote for the win!!! If I win this puppy, I’ll be going straight to the Restaurant Depot for some meat, and heading to the Open Door to make BBQ for our community. Something I would love to do monthly, or even bi-weekly if possible. It would help give the staff their a well deserved brake from all the heavy lifting they do for all of our community!
Then, let’s throw a GMG BBQ paarrrrtaaay!!!! Stage fort is calling!!!!! Thanks for all the help, love, and support!!
Gloucester needs proper real BBQ, and this trailer will make this thing happen!
