Grumpy - First World Whine

[f4f3]

Safely delivered to Newark, and I have a couple of hours before my flight to Providence (isn't that a fantastic name for a city?). 
I'm grumpy because the service I paid £93 to for unlimited talk and data in the States doesn't seem to want to let me dial the UK. This is LESS THAN IDEAL! So I'm paying wifi charges in Newark airport to try to sort it out. Shortly, I'll take my grump on to Providence 

I'm also a little bit sad not to be in the UK.

Providence.  I didn't think of it being a cool name for a place until I'd been quite used to the idea that it was the name for that place.  And _then_ I realized it was wonderful.

Providence was one of the places we could pick up a TV signal for with our kick-ass rooftop antenna.  The TV signal had managed to get across an entire state to get to us.  (Picking up the Maine station was more impressive, but New Hampshire is right next to Maine, so it didn't _seem_ as impressive.)

I have been through there, I've been through Rhode Island, but I don't think I ever actually spent the night in Rhode Island.  (I've slept at least a week's worth of nights in each of the other New England states.  Well, maybe not Maine, unless you count sleeping on a boat in Kittery Harbor....)

I haven't seen Rhode Island since before I graduated high school.

I'm liking it, so far. Though today I'm in Conneticut.

I've spent a lot more time in Connecticut. Weeks, if you total it all up. Connecticut was where I spent a night in an unheated building under 7 quilts. Connecticut was where I first saw small whales up close. Connecticut was where I first met, albeit briefly, a guy I came to really like when he was working with my husband in Texas.

I like Connecticut, I hope you're enjoying it.
