My brother Ricky was completely indifferent to the suffering of the witches in Salem, even though one of them was "crushed to death."

Ricky just graduated with his master's in Painting from RISD. Here is the monument they made to him in Salem. As you can see his is 7 months along.

Ricky was so sick of us at the end of our trip to Rhode Island, this is the only face he could muster.

"Should I be buried here, with Mother Goose and assorted famous people, or not?"

Where they read the Declaration of Independence

In the church where Paul Revere hung the lanterns. Families made donations to get the pew boxes. I think the LDS churches should get these boxes and then the kids would be totally contained. Zach could have really used this.

One of the witches hanged in Salem. I am apparantly quite happy about it.
