The 'Avoid Crashing On The Rocks" Edition of the Newsletter...

We spent Tuesday in Rhode island with my eighty five year old Aunt and Uncle, Corina and Mario Favorito. What lives they have and continue to live. Uncle Mario was named Concord 'Man of the Year' this year for all he has done for the town. Amazing. In the morning we did the Cliff Walk. Getting close to watch the power of the ocean crash amongst the rock. Enjoy one, avoid the other. on we go.
