Exceeds expectations
Language is a tricky thing. That’s one of the things I like about it. Also one of the things about it that I distrust. Consider the ambiguous note on report cards and in personnel files–Exceeds expectations. On its face, that must be good, probably better than Fails to meet expectations. But whose expectations? And what […]
Firehouse Chili Cook-off should warm things up
March 16, 2014
I can’t make it Spring but I can make it hot. Probably. See what you think. I was over at the Eastport Market (there’s a big surprise) and saw this notice on the bulletin board. This looked interesting. Something new and different. Something to do in March. Besides, I am a fool for firefighters (especially […]
Come on over to the Township Hall right now

The local history club and terrorist society
November 4, 2010
Recently the Township Planning Commission, in its wisdom, decided that one way to prevent medical marijuana "compassion clubs" from popping up like mushrooms in Torch Lake Township would be to eliminate "clubs" from permitted uses in the Zoning Ordinance. This strikes me as akin to prohibiting internet service in order to control spam. I began to think of the kinds of clubs that were thus banished from Township life. Bridge clubs, euchre clubs, book clubs, knitting clubs, model railroad clubs . . .
