I grew up in Pawtucket. Many great fish and chip memories.

As for your Fox/politics comments - I am pretty much checked out of all of the BS today. It's all running at level 11...too much. Enjoying the fall colored trees and making pumpkin soup and yogurt and cranberry orange nut bread instead!

went from RI to NH to WA to PA to NC - so I've "gotten around"!

LOVE Rhode Island - sitting at the water at Wickford eating clam cakes and lobster bisque (did that just a few years ago)

Byrne, Weymouth, and Frantz were in my class. Byrne and Frantz were in a band in school called The Artistics.

Stayed in Narragansett when I went up on weekends.

Pre-marriage: husband, OT, Rhody Rams with scholarship. Got red shirted when a congenital back thing cut his playing short.

He's a Sigma Chi. One weekend after we got engaged, there was a party, during which all the brothers sang, "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" and presented me with a lovely bouquet. I did not expect that one. Was a nice gesture and in my younger days, it wasn't me having a small bird being the focus of attention.

Now it makes me uncomfortable to be in any 'spotlight'.

Quahogs. Yes!
