Ends and Odds

It's been a little humid recently, but it's feeling less so outside. That bodes well for our bike ride to work. Sue's currently working at Rhode Island Hospital, which is just down the street from my office, so we've been riding our bikes to work together. A few additional ends and odds:

1) Sue will be dancing in her first Providence gig this Wednesday for a 10-12 minute set where Pidge meets Ridge. (Yes, there is literally an intersection where Pidge Road turns into Ridge Road in Providence. Actually, I think the intersection marks the dividing line between Providence and Pawtucket to the north.)

2) Thanks to the Bareses' introductions to friends in the area, we are likely going to be involved in a Dragon Boat race in September. Turn down the volume on your computer, then check out this site. Fun times.

3) The Providence Animal Rescue League is across the street diagonally from Brown's Advancement building. I've gone over there a couple times at lunch. They have a ton of kittens right now, and the canine residents have been about 50% pit bulls and 25% pit bull mixes. What does this say about Providence? I don't know.

4) The conference last week was pretty cool. Lots of nice, smart people, and the speakers were thought-provoking, especially Andrew Savitz and Daniel Shapiro, who directs the Harvard International Negotiation Initiative. Note the e-dress of the latter.

5) A response to a recent comment. Hee hee, Carrie... while most of the stuff in the house is definitely *ours*, some is earmarked for us individually. The closet we tore up this weekend is (unfortunately) mine. Boo hoo!


Sue's is on the left with sliding double doors. Mine... well... it's got all that plumbing in it, and we're trying to determine what to do about the floor. Maybe something on hinges? I'm currently living out of the closet in what will be the guest room.

6) The answer to ProPil Quiz #1 is below.


What cheer? Our pick-up day is Monday.
