I don't want to call myself a muse--that'd be overstating my case--but for a year I lived with my friend Diana , a fellow graduate of dramatic writing school who spent her time there studying screenwriting even though, from day one, I thought she was a world class playwright. "You should write plays!" I would constantly tell her as she showered or tried to sleep. "Why aren't you writing plays? I love your playwriting. Write a play!" Again, I don't want to take all the credit. But, finally, Diana heeded my advice and wrote a killer play called "Girls on the Clock" that was selected by Brown Uniersity's Playwrights Rep this summer for a production. The production got great reviews (The Providence Pheonix says : "'Girls On The Clock' is a tight little play that's bound to go places") and it was with tremendous excitement and great pride that Craig and I joined Diana's boyfriend, Mark, for a trip to Providence to see our girl's play. The trip turned into a grand eating adventure, with a Sunday in Newport, and now--after a week to process it all--I'm here to share. So pack your bags and come along.... We left last Friday, after Craig and Mark returned home from their respective jobs, renting a car from Speedy Car in Park Slope which has a surprisingly good deal: $200 for a car from Thursday to Monday. Good deal! Our car? A P.T. Cruiser. Shiny blue. You couldn't miss it for a mile. We arrived in Providence very late Friday night and ate din ...
