Something about Antrim
Today a new blog debuted from the Writing Studio and Bait Shop. You can read Our Town: Antrim County at the Record-Eagle. If that goes over well, who knows . . . “Our State: Michigan”??? “Our Planet: Earth”??? OK, time for a nap.
Weather whiplash
January 30, 2008
I’m always amazed when people get the vapors over a little snow in Michigan in January – but this week has given me whiplash. Snowbirds, this one’s for you.

January 24, 2008
For the record, this ↓ is not snow – – – – – THIS ↓ is snow. . . . . . There’s a mouse in there . . . We who live here year ’round are accustomed to gleeful winter weather inquiries from snowbirds, Californians and others of that ilk. “Gettin’ any snow are ya? […]
