The Red Brick Times

Thanks to Tony and Marsha for hosting me this week. I really enjoyed my visit and the view of the soft underbelly of the Narragansett Bay. I got to go places and see things that tourists don't suspect are there. The walking tour of the headlands was truly a highlight that will stay in my mind. Since I am not in as good a shape as Tony, my legs weren't ready for the privilege of the cook's tour, but the fact remains that having so many great sites within walking distance of home makes this a great place. Having a friendly, bouncy dog along makes it even more enjoyable. I suggest you rent one when you travel to far flung places. I have always preferred the places "far from the things of man" and even though very populous, there are enough fringe-beings and wilderness places to make Rhode Island a great trip. Of course, when Marsha heard I was coming, she ran away to Block Island, but I didn't take it personally. She came back once I left, so all is fine. We actually did get to visit before she had to leave for work. Have fun at the Berkshire Chorus Festival, Marsha! On August 5 they are performing the "Monzoni" Requiem (Verdi) under the direction of Robert Page. Very impressive! Break a leg (lung?). And for Tony, a song that he may, or may not, already know: Little Nell of Naraganset Bay . This must have been after she left Dudley of the RCMP in Canada, since it covers her penultimate years. Thanks again, folks!

Andy, quick, before Marsha finds out you misspelled her name, go back and edit your post. Trust me you need to do this!

Yeah. I never can remember whether there are one or two t's or r's in your name. Like most people use an "e" instead of an "a" in mine.

For rent: One (1) friendly, bouncy dog. Far flung places our spciality. Tug-o-war rope extra, though any article of personal clothing can be substituted as you try to put it on.
