As an actor, there are often specific demands about how I need to look for roles I bring to life. That has to do with the look of the character that the director has in mind. In other cases, when I do not get the part, I suspect there are other physical considerations that have […]
Do you have runner dreams, but yearn for routine and/or social accountability? Are you “hardcore” or more of a walk-jogger who is just happy to be outside? Maybe you just crave endorphins, a heart-rate/mental-health boost, and community? Good news: Lil’ Rhody has several weekly run club options to choose from. From petite crews to massive […]
As I picked up my credentials and walked into Centreville Bank Stadium for Rhode Island Football Club’s (RIFC) season opener against expansion Sporting Club Jacksonville, I had two goals on my mind: getting a hug from Chip and snagging pretzel bites from The Salty Knot. The March afternoon was cold and windy, but that didn’t […]
Thawn Sherenté Harris has some big plans for this coming Patriots’ Day and some big shoes to fill while he is at it. Harris is training to run the Boston Marathon to honor one of his relatives, who not only ran it twice but won it both times. Harris, 47, is the great-nephew of the […]
It is inspiring how tragedy brings communities together. The December 13 shooting at Brown University that left two students dead, shook the entire state, especially that community.

The offseason brought about some changes that […]

I sensed that they had lost after speaking to a bartender wearing an RIFC hoodie. Amid talking about the team and their home games at Centreville Bank […]
I immediately noticed that there was a unique feel in the air surrounding Centreville Bank Stadium as I dropped a friend off at the gate and sat in traffic for about 20 minutes to park in the lot that I could basically see from my car. This was ten minutes before the start of their […]
My first thought after waking up at 6:30 am was about the staff at Centerville Bank Stadium. This venue is a big deal for the state, with a lot of ramifications, and blowhards waiting for it to fail. Construction took longer than expected, leading RIFC to play their first season at Bryant. This got me […]
I wasn’t 21 yet, but somehow my friends and I snuck into Foxwoods to hit the casino. Shocked they let us in without checking IDs, we laughed for a bit before taking everything in. One 21-year-old friend started gambling with his alcohol intake, putting some chips into a bucket and walking near a slot machine […]
