Fenway Park and Laguna Beach Art

Ahh, but this painting of my beautiful bride will sell for millions! The Cottage Gallery is across PCH from the Sand and Surf Hotel.

On another note, My Laguna Beach neighbor, Burt Newton called to check in and told me that a local art gallery, the Cottage Gallery, had a painting of Jenée on display. The artist, September is a very talented local artist and Jenée sat for her in 2009 before we set sail. September had me in a couple of paintings as well. Let's just say those are not as high in demand - probably a seasonal thing.

Yo, how you doin?

Capt. Ed is a local fisherman (Marshfield and Nantuket) and is head of the Massachusetts Fishermen's Partnership. Massachusetts is the last of the small local fishing concerns and supplies our famous seafood. The super sized commercial boats are not allowed into Massachusetts waters and that's a good thing. Ed does a good job watching over the fishermen's needs and the local consumers (us). In his representation of the local fishermen, Ed stands with others against Nantucket's proposed offshore windmill farm. Besides the negative environmental impact to Nantucket shores and taking away some of the finest fishing grounds in New England, Cape Wind hasn't provided a delivery solution for the power. It's one thing to generate the electricity, the other is to effectively deliver it 30 -50 miles inland. There is a huge loss of power over lines and the solution here will be in the $ billions. Surprise Massachusetts taxpayers! Good luck Eddie B. - a good man.

My buddy Ed Barrett called me up with tickets to go see the Red Sox. I'm a sucker for Fenway Franks, so I'm in! Here is the action on the field - uh, actually it's the Fenway ground crew finishing up before the start of the game. Nice red shirts.
