Hardly any days are like that
Today has been flying by fueled with just four hours of sleep, so pardon me if I fluff a line. I was going to breakfast with Centria, a/k/a Kathy, a U.P. blogger who visits these parts often, if virtually. Today she was in Bellaire in person, and we met at MOKA. For an hour and a half […]
We’re gonna be in movies
June 7, 2009
I have discovered a new toy buried in my software. I believe Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I can join other luminaries of the film industry residing in Antrim County. We, like Michael Moore, are hard at work on our new movie. Working title: Morning Walk. There will be suspense. There will be an unexpected […]
Caught goosefooted at the end of a lingering spring
June 5, 2009
I am still behind on research and writing, but I thought I’d take a minute to show you the goosefoot maple that grows in Eden Shores.

Bugs, invading plants, and the trouble with LUST
May 29, 2009
I tell you, there is no end to the misadventures that are possible. We are in the midst of the annual Flight of the Miserable Little Black Helicopters. I do not know what they are, but I’d be glad to have a name to pin to them, so that I could curse them by it. […]
Forgotten forget-me-nots
May 28, 2009
It is useful to have younger sisters. That way when your memory goes to blazes you have someone to help you keep track. My sister Cheri in particular has a sturdy filing cabinet in her capacious mind, and is often referred to as The Family Archive. She lives in North Carolina, so it is inconvenient […]
