For much of the country, March 15 marked the official beginning of quarantine. That morning, I took to the woods with two of my good friends. I figured the three of us could manage to spend the day outside together without breaching the recommended distance of 6 feet. Our text thread from the night before […]
Being confined to your living space during a pandemic can be stressful, especially in such indefinite and uncertain times. It can also be fun and inspiring. While the news cycle and Netflix are easy ways to stave off boredom, there are countless non-digital ways to entertain ourselves in our own backyards. Bushcraft projects are a good […]
RI offers a variety of hiking trails, each with its own style, terrain and level of difficulty. Some trails are ideal for fishing, while others are popular for bird watching or dog walking. Some showcase the area’s wildflowers, while others are more accessible to children. The weather has to be pretty severe to keep me out […]
The storefront on Ives St. is mostly a revolving showroom of many styles of e-bikes. The bikes on display are not for sale. Potential buyers are encouraged to come in for a test ride, then order one that fits their needs. “So e-bikes are more of a bicycle than a moped or a motorcycle?” I […]
As a kid, I was pretty unfamiliar with the lay of the land outside of my quiet suburban neighborhood in Warwick, but I was a skateboarder, which put me in the vicinity of skaters from other neighborhoods who knew about other skate spots. Other spots meant meeting more skaters. It didn’t take long for my […]
Hot, muggy nights that were spent drinking vodka cocktails and watching “Shark Tank” reruns will now be spent drinking whisky and watching horror movies as the weather turns cool, and my days will be spent in pursuit of the great outdoors. As far as I am concerned, there is no better time than fall to […]
Last fall, I accompanied my son on a hike with his Cub Scout pack in the woods of the Arcadia Management Area. Boys in blue and tan uniforms led the way while parents followed and observed from close behind. The night before, my son and I flipped through his Cub Scout Bear Handbook for info […]
The world is changing, and so is tattooing. Social media has made it easier than ever for artists to market themselves to vast audiences at no cost. Reality shows helped to bring tattoos into the mainstream, and advancements in technology have changed the functions of most artists’ daily operations. It has never been easier to […]
Fall is almost here. Hot, muggy days have already turned cool and brisk. T-shirts and shorts will make way for hoodies and jeans. Soon, there will be a Halloween isle at CVS, and I have already started my yearly regimen of binge watching horror movies. On most weekends, my friends and I can be found […]
There is not much I’d rather be doing this summer than spending the day running around in the woods, followed by some afternoon cocktails with friends and family. The hike gets the blood pumping, and the libations keep it moving. I find that the simple things are the best things. On Monday afternoons, my wife […]
