1. I won the Ideal Bainite award in 9th grade, beating out my arch-nemesis Eric Blom. 2. I have written over 150 articles/blogposts about teen entrepreneurs and content creators. 3. I used to be the clown in residence at Foxwoods Casino and Resort.

@Joseph Groom Let me know when I have to tell you what’s false and true.

@Bonnie Aspen I grew up in Rhode Island (Cranston High School East!). and ran a non profit there for 10 years. It was called Bright Night Providence (a Family friendly arts oriented New Years Eve Celebration!)

@Bonnie Aspen I love the Barrington Library and the Barrington Book store if it is still there! I wrote a book about Rhode Island a while back, and hand sold it to a bunch of bookstores, and did a bunch of signings in Barrington. I live in Barcelona Spain now. Basically Rhode Island is a pretty great state, despite the politicians! Lots to love!

Not on this, but I recently lost an 852 day streak on wordle. And not because I didn’t solve it— it’s because I thought I had finished it, but I had done two turns, got a phone call, and never came back to it. It’s a sinking feeling for sure. But guess what. the earth still revolves.

I just reached 50. Considering I am not doing much advertisement and I don’t have a lot of engagement, I am excited. Need to put more cool things on the site though!

@Nick Nebelsky Agreed. But to badly restate Gertrude Stein, I don’t want people to come to my group and find out there’s no there there.

Nypd Blue. You could drop me into any episode and I know where we are. A couple of “sayings” that I have taken from them and live to heart: Everything Is a Situation. Simone gets railroaded into figuring out who the corrupt hook is in IAB. He gets fired and on suspension so that they can see who He can’t talk to his friend in IA (Internal Affairs), who also can’t’ confide in him what they know. The Situation goes round and round— and When Simone could maybe give him the right information, Simone says to him “Everything is a situation.” “I was beaten”. “Probably not enough”. A perp who murdered the witness gets brought in. He was released by accident. Andy catches him when he is cutting hte perp into 27 pieces. Simone stops him, but Andy is ANGRY about it. The perp says to the Lieutenant “I was beaten”. The Lieutenant says “Probably Not Enough.”
