Best thing about living in RI: The best thing about living in R.I. are the people and the ocean (nice to run in the area I live).

I enjoy the weather too, I’m a four season kind of person.
One thing people don’t know about you: Actually people don’t know that I’m shy even though I am a professional arm wrestler. They assume I’m tough, I’m just a big teddy bear. (lol)
