It hasn’t been a bit warmer over in Boyne City than it has here, but they are an intrepid bunch.  Where there is intrepidity, there is Babs.  She brought you back a present:  the ice fountain from the Boyne City Park.   Yes, the skating rink beyond is Lake Charlevoix.  Yes, it is frozen, but not in […]

What happens when the right book falls into the right reader’s hands? Ruth Ozeki appears and vanishes and reappears in my life.  This is fine.  It is my experience generally.  The difference is that generally I rummage around until I find whatever, or whomever, I’ve misplaced.
