I'm from Riverside
My fiancé and I often wonder how people can move away from their hometown or state. The two of us, we’re anchored firmly here in Rhody. It’s not an uncommon situation around these parts, especially in East Providence. She was born in Warwick, where she went to St. Kevin’s, Gorton ...
Do it right
The DVD begins with legendary French chef Jacques Pépin showing you how to tie an apron properly. Once secured, he demonstrates how to fasten a towel to the apron so it is handy by your side but can be removed in an instant. Like a seasoned bartender – or surgeon ...

Readers can give a thumbs up on stories they like. Its like Google's Plus One or Facebook's Like. The amount of thumbs up a story receives goes into determining how popular a story is. Its a great way to show that you like a story. You can also keep track ...
Our song
As I write this on a cold Valentine’s Day morning, I’m thinking of the Sea Fare Inn. That’s the former Portsmouth restaurant where Michelle and I shared our first dance as husband and wife more than 20 years ago. It was recently torn down to make room for townhouses, but ...
Why do we hate addicts?
http://eastbayri.com/users/photos/2012/feb/14/3572/ Full disclosure: I choke up every time I hear Whitney Houston singing Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." Other than that, I could care less about Ms. Houston. I feel for her family and loved ones. Anytime someone dies too early – famous or otherwise – it's a ...
Making a house a home
It’s going to be a long-time before my neighbors start talking about “Mr. Morse’s house.” Back in late June, my fiancee and I closed on our first home. It’s a well-maintained, four-bedroom cape in Riverside. The house was built in the late 1950s and accordingly, it’s rock solid. My neighborhood ...
Senior project
I began my journalism career as a copy boy at The Baltimore Sun when I was a teenager. Back then (1988) a copy boy distributed faxes (fairly new tech at the time - issued on shiny, soft paper), made copies of page layouts to distribute to the editors, wrote obituaries ...
Prayer banner idiocy
The Cranston West prayer banner controversy continued to spiral deeper into idiocy this week. The teenage girl who was victorious in her court battle to remove the banner that clearly violates the separation of church and state can't seem to leave well enough alone. She's on the front page of ...
Not your average copyright infringement
Have you been to "Not Your Average Joe's" in Seekonk? It's a nice joint. Just opened. The food is good and the bar is beautiful. I wish them well. If you live closer to Warren, however, you can visit "Not Your Average Sports Bar" on Child Street. I'm pretty sure ...
We all have a dream
My wife and I will enjoy a day off with the kids today in our Riverside home thanks to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The kids are too young to understand why we have the day off. I tried to explain it to Charlotte last year (when she was 3) ...
Waste no time
This is a story about a man who decided to follow his dream despite being past the age of the average dreamer. My mother had three boys. Two of us make a living writing (barely). The other one, Danny, followed in my father's footsteps and became an engineer. The Old ...
They're Townies by birth, I'm one by accident
Last weekend we celebrated my daughter's 4th birthday. It was the first time we hosted a birthday party with kids. We sent invitations to her school, invited a few of our adult friends to join us and put out the requisite fruit and vegetable plates along with a beautiful cake ...

The editor gets fleeced for a simple cocktail in Riverside.
We're all in this together
I'm hoping this blog gets some traction in the community and reminds you – and me – that we're all in this together. In the old days a reporter would work on a story, write it up and send it off to the presses. It was a one way conversation ...
