Terri took us to Providence today to visit the Rhode Island School of Design Museum and for Molly to buy some cosmetics at Nordstrom. Blake stayed home working on a paper.
The museum is attached to the school of art and design, which offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. The collection is, to say the least, eclectic, ranging from ancient to contemporary and from furniture and textile design to painting and sculpture. We were lucky to be among the first to see a special exhibition entitled Inner City, which opened yesterday.
 Inner City is a ceramics installation by Arnie Zimmerman, commenting on the human condition |  Often whimsical looking people find themselves crushed by or enmeshed in their work |
As usual, there was more to see than we had time for, so we saved some for another visit and moved on to Providence Center, a large downtown mall. Molly picked out her Mac cosmetics at Nordstroms, while Ken and I walked over to the Sony Style store to drool over Sony readers and netbooks.

We set up our Cradlepoint CTR350 router today. It's small but elegant, and (after dealing with some glitches in the installation) we love it. Now our broadband is always on, and we can both use it. Plus as a bonus, it actually seems faster... and since it's a travel router, it's easily small enough to take with us on a trip if needed.
