Hi Joey,
Wondering if you might post this great free Essex County Greenbelt walk on
your blog?
Sunday, March 27, 1 – 3 p.m.
Geology Walk at Dogtown
Carter Reservation, Gloucester
Led by Greenbelt’s Executive Director Ed Becker and Greenbelt staff member
Cathy Lanois
The landscape and legends of Dogtown have inspired naturalists and writers
for centuries. On this walk, we’ll focus on natural history, with an eye to
the many interesting geologic features of this unique area. Registration
required, please email smd@ecga.org
Directions: From Route 128 North, take the third exit off Grant Circle, the
first Gloucester Rotary, onto Washington Street, Route 127. Drive 2.2 miles.
Just after the causeway that crosses the outlet for Goose Cove, turn right
onto Dennison Street. Drive to the end of Dennison Street and park at the
Greenbelt sign.
Thanks, Jill Buchanan

Yesterdays “Art, Rocks!” Rock Found
I wanted to see if using Twitter for This “Art, Rocks!” thing would work. It did. Here’s the email I received;
Paul,
Very COOL.
I found the “Art, Rocks” at Good Harbor Beach. Nice sketch. I have to admit that I must have walked by it 2 or 3 times (I went across the street to look right after your tweet that you left one). The photo clue was what did it…I have been back and forth enough times on my first venture to have pretty much memorized the rocks along the sidewalk :-))).
Thanks for what you do, both for art and for Gloucester. You and Joey C are two of the Great Ones!
Best,

Fontana Family St Joseph Novena 2011- Must Watch Videos
I think you will really enjoy watching the videos that I’ll be putting out each day this week from the first five houses along the route of the Novena Crawl. From the walking up the staircase and listening to the warm greetings in the Fontana house all the way through the fifth house at the Orlandos you hear of special traditions spoken from the mouths of the women who have been celebrating for generations. Again I wish I could have made it to all 11 houses but my little ones were up way past their bed time. I’m sure Manny will be releasing some fantastic footage from the remaining houses as well.
We start off at the first house on Sefatia’s Novena Crawl through the City at The Fontana House. Tomorrow look for The Scola Novena, followed by the Russo, Ferrrante and Orlando Houses. One a day til we are out of footage. Thank you to all the families for welcoming us into your homes and sharing this wonderful tradition.

Celebrating St Joseph 2011 Slide Show
Click on the picture for Joey’s slide show which brings us through the first 5 houses on Sefatia’s list of 11 Gloucester St Joseph Novenas. I wish I could have gone to all 11 houses but I wanted the girls to have a good memory of it and as the night wore on I didn’t want to push them too far past their normal 6:30PM bedtime. Look for Manny’s slide show which will have many more of the houses and a ton of pictures of the people who attended the novenas.
I’d like to extend a special thanks to the Fontana, Scola, Russo,Ferrante and Orlando families for opening their houses and continuing this beautiful tradition. I’d also like to thank Sefatia for being a fantastic guide and teacher along the route. She reminded me of many things I’d long forgotten about the traditions and taught me a whole lot more.
Click the picture for my slide show and don’t forget to look for Manny’s slide show which will have many of the faces from the crowd. Also I will post a video each day over the next 5 days from each of the 5 novenas in the order in which we visited them on Sefatia’s list.

St Joseph’s Novena 3/18/11
The Ferrante’s
Katie Fontana
The Scola’s
The Russo’s
The Orlando’s
Much more to come. Pictures and videos. I only stayed through 5 houses as I needed to get the girls home but our boy Manny is with Sista felicia and hopefully all the houses will get captured.
All I can say is that it was beautiful and emotional with waves of old school tradition washing over the rooms as the women sang and embraced each other.
The videos should be spectacular and photos will be plenty.

Caution Regarding Sewer Treatment Disks
Alert from the City of Gloucester:
Caution Regarding Sewer Treatment Disks — Update March 15, 2011
Thousands of discharged disks from the Hookset, NH wastewater treatment plant have washed up on local shores including Coffins Beach, Wingaersheek Beach, Long Beach and private areas along the coastline.
The city is formulating its clean up plan, and in all likelihood will require the assistance of citizen volunteers.
If disks are handled, rubber gloves must be worn and hands should be washed or sanitized immediately afterwards. Disks can be placed in plastic bags and dropped off at the Dept. of Public Works on Poplar St. for disposal.
Please keep pets away from the disks.
You can get further updates from the city of Gloucester website.

Sunday 03/06/2011 “Art, Rock!” Reported in!
Email contact!
Hi,
> I found your rock while leaving good harbor with my dog on Sunday. Great rock! Do you want it back??
My reply back to Baba:
Hi Baba!
I’m A little “Strange”. Just ask Joey! When The mood hits I’ll draw on a rock where I’m at and leave it and see if anyone will respond. So, I thank you for responding. You can keep it if you like, if not! throw it back in the ocean for another few hundred years. 🙂 Do what you wish with it! I don’t need it back. I always hope someone will like the drawing. If not oh well. Take it as, goodluck? It may not be Megamillions but…..
Thanks again for the reply!

Five Guys Burgers
Five Guys has some tasty burgers but I found a way to maximize your dollars there. Order the single patty with the works burger. It was three bucks and change and was a really tasty burger. Once you add double patties, bacon or cheese the prices start to skyrocket.
