Visiting Providence
May 8th, 2004
There’s an advantage to the time of year that we chose to travel. Quite a few of the colleges were having their graduation ceremonies this weekend (or rather, will be having) and so Providence was doing its “River Aflame” thing every night. Thus, when we wandered out to dinner on the first and second night, we were greeted by the fragrance of burning pine and the sight of baskets of fire lining the river, accompanied by new age fusion/jazz. Very, very cool.
Providence is a very pretty city, and I honestly wouldn’t mind living there. It’s small enough to not suffer the problems that many big cities have, large enough to have its own identity, is extremely cultural, and is close enough to Boston and the Big Apple that road trips are a question of hours, rather than days. It would be a nice place to raise a family I think.
And then, when I came back, I thought it would be a bright idea to go work out. After the plane ride. Without breakfast. Lets hear it for masochism! Ehn- I’m cutting my exercise routine down to an hour each session, and instead am going to try to do it every morning before work. We’ll see how it goes.
And thus, life goes on.
