I’m back in Newport, Rhode Island again. This time, there’s less rain, but its just about as cold as when I was here in November. I flew in on Wednesday via a sunrise flight and got straight to work after only a minor hiccup with the facility’s security office.

The rental place surprised me with a PT Cruiser (instead of the usual Escort or Kia Rio) with Sirius satellite radio! Though I’ve been following the rise of satellite radio for several years, I actually have never tried it on. After listening to a little behind-the-scenes about Howard Stern’s radio show on the Howard Stern news channel, I switched to the OutQ channel for the Michelangelo Signorile Show. After reading him for years in the Advocate, I was pleased to find that his wit and wisdom wasn’t dumbed down or fluffed up.

Tomorrow I’ll be returning to work for the morning, hopefully helping my coworkers back home fix a few bugs before I drive back to Providence to return my rental. Then its the shuttle to the train station, where I’ll be wending my way down the coast, through New York City, to Philadelphia. I’ll be spending the weekend with my little frat brother Justin and seeing Miss Imogen Heap there this Saturday night. I’m thrilled to be able to catch one of my new favorite musicians live in concert, especially since she won’t be coming anywhere near Orlando anytime soon.

Still no sign of the Griffin family, but I’ll keep looking.
