Sorry folks for the delay. Blogger.com has been down for the last few days, so it hasn't been possible to post to the website.

This is the downside of using free technology to publish stuff. Anyway, it seems like it's back, and I'm back, so the Rhode Island Blog can continue!


I turned down a ghost-writing job today. Someone in the family is writing a tell-all about self-aggrandizing philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein. While the money might have been good, it just seemed like too much of a family squabble to get involved with. That, and although I do believe that ASF has a little too much name recognition for his philanthropic mission (there's the Feinstein Imax Theatre, the Sandra Feinstein Gamm Theatre, and like 3 or 4 Feinstein schools in Providence, just to name a few) nonetheless, the guy does some pretty good works with his cash, which is more than can be said about other people with an equal amount of money.
