Sneaky Snake and Fossils
If you look at things the right way, you have many more adventures than you might otherwise. The other day, for example, Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I were strolling along the beach when we saw a Sea Serpent making its way toward Grand Traverse Bay. We thought it might be Sneaky Snake, beloved of […]
Daytrips in Northern Michigan: Jordan River Cruise
February 21, 2009
On Thursday I had a little adventure with a couple of old friends (and some new ones, too). We piled into a rubber raft and cruised down the Jordan River. I can hear you now. What were you thinking??? Well, this is what comes of spending long months in the north country in winter. Getting […]

February 9, 2009
On Saturday the hardwater sailors began to arrive at Torch Lake, where ten inches of solid ice was slicked with a thin layer of melt that reflected the gray sky. Perfect. They took a few practice runs and worked on their gear. By Sunday morning, the sun had come out and Babs was on the […]
Thus always to empires
February 8, 2009
As empires rise, so must they fall. The descendants of the fierce Vikings write blogs about design and rural England and, er, Torch Lake Township. The Aztec Empire was crushed by the Spanish Empire, which fell before the British Empire and ultimately before a ragtag bunch of Americans in 1898, leading to a whole school of Spanish […]
