Rhode Island is truly a gem of a state. Nice winter walk around the Monastery in Cumberland today.

Dead calm this morning in Lincoln, RI. A few splashes of foliage here and there.

I'll keep my thoughts on Sinclair rated G, but they are short-sighted and I hate that you will not be on the air. Thinking of you and your colleagues.

I'm digging the pastel colors on the I-way bridge in Providence this evening.

Storage, where people end up paying thousands of dollars to store old stuff they should have just donated.

Love it! Thank you. Beautiful Sycamore. I will say, I've seen some White Oaks in Cumberland that I would guess are at least that old.

I recently kayaked around upper Narragansett Bay. I kept thinking how fortunate I am to live in such a beautiful state. #RhodeIsland #kayaking Here are a few of my photos from this paddle.

This is typically the week I put our window ACs in for the Summer but Instead I opted roaring fire. 47 degrees with light rain tonight in Rhode Island.

I'm still convinced a bot army voted for the boring design that won. There were so many cooler and warmer designs.

Love it! Admittedly, I've never seen the show, but I will absolutely tune in for this season.

I'd love to see a $5.00 deposit on these. High enough to make them no longer feasible to sell.

This serene scene was interrupted by me sneezing loud enough that it caused nearby birds to take flight.

Kayaking Rhode Island

After a long winter, I was finally able to kayak after work on this top 10 weather day. Great to be back on the water. #kayaking #RhodeIsland #weather

Thinking of Summer, on this Winter-like day in Spring. Perfect weather for a Nutty Irishman. Cheers! #RhodeIsland #Spring #fireplace #delslemonade

Great read as always. It'll be interesting to see if Hasbro's stock crashing will impact their decision to spend big money on a new HQ in Boston. Probably already a done deal.
