So far so good.

While the political season has most of everyone's attention, I'm more focused on the life and death drama happening in my postage stamp sized backyard.

Newport Jazz Festival!

On the way to another great show @ProvPacRI last night and followed the sound of drums to find this incredible Christmas village on Westminster. So great to see families out having fun in downtown Providence in the evening! We stopped for live music and hot cider!

@kmulvane @projo One thing it means is that some RI lawyer and their firm is about to make a LOT of money. Receivers get to hire legal counsel for the receivership, and in my former experience in private practice that usually meant the receiver's own law firm.

@Eli_Sherman B4 I left Columbus for RI 30 years ago, we had a new downtown mall exactly like Providence Place. It failed, was razed, and turned into a successful downtown park. https://t.co/rGpBnGQMtL

That was intense!

The experiment continues: I have now blocked over 5,000 Twitter/X advertisers. I still get multiple ads daily, mostly now odd, one-off consumer items and financial/bitcoin influencers. X also recently added another step to blocking so it now takes 4 steps to block instead of 3.

@JoeShekarchi @RIHouseofReps Thanks for the invitation Speaker @JoeShekarchi. By my reckoning, this is my 20th consecutive annual training visit to the @RIHouseofReps. Great questions and participation as always!

@kathyprojo When did I say that Kathy? And to whom?

[Jason Gramitt @Gramitt]

My family tried to see the Independent Man last Saturday afternoon, but the doors were locked. Why isn't the State House open on Saturdays for visitors? So, we saw him through the window; He's big!

If you love potatoes, then you should discover these from Maplewood Farm in Portsmouth. These are the most delicious golden buttery potatoes I've ever had in my life! Available at Clements in Portsmouth.

Nearly 500 of the World's top Ethics, Open Gov, Lobbying, and Elections officials gathered in Kansas City to share knowledge and strategies. This amazing group from Guam spent 24 hours go get there, and meeting with them is always a highlight for me! #cogel2023 #cogelinfo

Continuing my #COGEL2023 tradition of sneaking off on the last night of a conference to find an open mic night. Tonight at the Rino in Kansas City.

They squeezed me in for a song, but the closer was the bartender who absolutely killed!
