Didn't we see him in a Tin Tin strip?

In 1930, Louis A. Thebaud had a fishing and racing schooner commissioned and named for his wife. The Boston Public Library this week posted a bunch of photos of the schooner, including some of its celebrated first races against the Bluenose, before which Thebaud posed with Miss Ferrell. You can watch part of a later race, filmed from the deck of the Bluenose.

Joey Ciaramitaro of Good Morning Glouester makes America's front page with some choice quotes about towns with lobster-pot trees that can only hope to grow up to be like the stirring and stunningly beautiful one in Gloucester.

Good Morning Gloucester has the Webcam pics to prove it.

Also, just like the state warned us, Morrissey Boulevard is closed due to wicked high tides, as Lauren Glynn shows us:

Cambridge, Mass. — Tickets are on sale now for George V. Higgins’ The Friends of Eddie Coyle, Stickball Productions’ world premiere stage adaptation of the quintessential Boston crime novel. The production runs Dec. 8–Jan. 15 at Oberon in Harvard Square, for tickets, visit www.thefriendsofeddiecoyle.com

It is the winter of ‘69 in Boston and Eddie Coyle is a bottom of the barrel hood attempting to stay alive and out of jail among his “friends” – cops, bartenders, radical hippies, bank robbers, hit men and informants. Weeks away from a prison sentence for trucking stolen booze, Eddie’s making a few bucks supplying the guns for a rash of brazen bank heists, while looking to tip someone in for a kind word to the judge.

George V. Higgins’ classic novel has been called the “best crime novel ever written” by Elmore Leonard, and literary scholars have compared his unforgiving and realistic depiction of Boston’s underworld with the works of Dickens, Dostoevsky, and Balzac. Through dialogue quintessentially Bostonian, and the most poignant homage to Bobby Orr and the ’69-’70 Boston Bruins in literature, The Friends of Eddie Coyle has set the bar for Boston crime stories for nearly 40 years.

UPDATE: It was all a joke. Apparently landlubbers like me don't know when to take a Gloucester lobsterman seriously.

Common Cause Massachusetts is hosting a Redistricting Olympics this summer. We will be taking citizen drawn Congressional, State House, and State Senate maps all summer, evaluating them, declaring a winner, giving out prizes and submitting the winning maps to the MA Legislative Redistricting Committee for consideration.

The purpose of the redistricting Olympics is threefold: to educate the public about the steps in the redistricting process, to initiate public participation in the political arena, and to pressure the legislature to draw the districts so that the citizens are appropriately represented.

Joey's butter gets melted by a couple of women in California who posted a lobster-roll recipe that includes (you are sitting down, right?) lettuce, paprika and, almost worst, jalepeno peppers.

But what really turns Joey's face red is their suggestion that frozen lobster tails are an acceptable substitute for the real stuff:
