I don’t know who footed the bill for these floats, but they are about the most heavy duty I’ve ever seen.

These docks are seriously beefy.

Long Wharf Newport RI

Many Commercial boats tied up here. Got up at 5:00AM(habit). Took a walk down to the dock to try to find some fishermen. The strong winds proved lucky for me as I got to jaw with a couple of lobstermen.

We talked about bait and lobsters and seals. Regular guys.

Even in a place that is touted as a prim and tidy place as Newport, I now know there is no simple way to keep all the fishing gear strewn about to look tidy. It is what it is folks. Weather it’s Newport,RI or Gloucester, Ma it’s not stuff that necessarily stacks up and stows away neatly. I feel much better about this after seeing the gear strewn all over the place down here on Long Wharf.

That’s the reality of it.

When you look out the windows to the right the vistas are best and the deck in the summer would be a decent spot for a tourist who wants to get a feel for the industrial waterfront while dining.

I hear that’s what some out of towners want.

The Organizer

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

A very good friend of mine stopped down the wharf this morning to tell me about his experience with this woman that calls herself “The Organizer.”

Last week he stopped by to explain how his house is in total disarray, his children and everyone leave crap all over the house and no one wants to do any chores. He told me about some elaborate system that “The Organizer” was going to put in place with rotating charts of specific responsibility for his children, wife and himself to do.

I was interested in the concept but skeptical that the whole plan would be more difficult to manage and keep on top of each person’s responsibilities than if you just did the work yourself.

Well the moment of truth was yesterday when “The Organizer” was supposed to show up. “The Organizer” was supposed to show up at 6:00PM. At 6:20PM when “The Organizer” still hadn’t shown up, his wife called her only to find that she forgot about their appointment. His wife asked “The Organizer” if her husband(my buddy) could have mistaken the time or date of the appointment to which “The Organizer” replied- “No, I simply forgot.”

Needless to say “The Organizer’s” services will no longer be needed.

Can you only imagine selling a service like that and then not even being able to keep an appointment?

What is wrong with people?

A cold and gray day. Hopefully cold enough to break down the San Diego Chargers who will be playing our beloved Patriots this afternoon.
