Greeetings from Providence Rhode Island.. A very nice town in a staate that’s lying about it’s island-hood. It’s really a cool place thoguh.. W’ere just off the RISD campus. I uses to work with folks from RISSD when I was an interen in the Art Department at MIT. I remember when the MIT Architecture group helped make an album cover for the Talking Heds.. some of whom whent to RISD…
But I digress…
Welr edown here forthe final Lacros tournament for Gab’es VT Select Team. They’ve had a good season..a nd an excellent torunament.THey’ve really learned to play together and it shows. They were undefeated today.. .. and even hoguh I’m not a sports guy.. I know that’s good. 🙂
The game has a warlike, hard0ass image it tries to through off.. but it’s really played by gentle , well-behaved boys and girls. Don’t let that out.. as it may destroy the image of the game.
This tourne marks the star tof our vacation.. the sitting around between games. is great practice for being on vacation.. no computers.. no cell phone.. no distractions.. I’m already going CRAZY.. I resorted to playing footsie with Diane..
Seriously, though.. I just don’t do relaxed well.. .. it’s so…so.. un-busy… !

(yikes. where did my justify left button go ?!?!)
Afterwards we all headed down to teh beach.. Naragannsett beach… It was full of seagulls, and of people.. it was a sea of rhoade islanders.. they all were there..
Shortly after we got there… so did a band of thundershowers… A miraculous thing happened then.. everyone but our little band left..
We jumped in the car as everyone drove away..We watched the storm from inside our car.. it was awesome . The entire crowded beach was now empty and ours !
We wre starving at that point.. so we went out and grabbed soem food from the little snack bar in the beach entrance. Our freind Martha used to work in this very buuilding about 30 years ago.!!! .
Yum.-ish..
We hung out on the beach and played with Reese and Didi’s new puppy… buckwheat aka Thor (which name do you like.. s. it’s still up for debate !)
I tossed ia samstoen into the bay …
While the kids hung out in the water and body surfed..
I collected rock and made a lame rainbow for Reese and Didi’s daugter abbue..
Finannly back at the hotes..l.. then a short cisit to a pool hall / restaurant..
now.. two tired to stay awake.. so.. that’s it. for today..
