Postcards from the D: Night at Joe Louis
I have unsuspected depths. Lurking in one of them is this: I love hockey. Most of all, I love the Detroit Red Wings. In 1998 I was sitting in Little Daddy’s having lemon rice soup and wishing something wonderful would happen when POOF! Darren McCarty pulled up in a red convertible, hauled the Stanley Cup out of the back […]

Postcards from the D: Lunch in Ann Arbor
April 21, 2009
Our Detroit vacation featured a side trip to Ann Arbor. (It takes less time to get there from Rob and Alicia’s townhouse than it takes me to get to Traverse City from the Writing Studio & Bait Shop. Geography is so subjective.) Saturday was sunny and ridiculously warm. Perfect for a short hike along the […]

April 20, 2009
As you know, Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I have been having a little vacation. We visited Rob the Firefighter and the Lady Alicia in Detroit. They live in a Mies van der Rohe-designed townhouse in Lafayette Park with my granddogs, Fred and Lucy. It’s perfect: floor to ceiling windows perfect for squirrel watching, slate […]

Katherine paints the fence
April 17, 2009
It’s not uncommon to see a face peering out of a tree. However, Katherine has found a Picasso drawing in an ancient birch at Katy Newman’s. We discussed mimetoliths last week. I wonder if we should have a category for mimeto-trees? We have also discussed that Thomasina Sawyer loves getting other people to do her […]

Lemon meringue pie, yellow crane, golden sunrise
April 16, 2009
It’s been a lovely week so far, and I believe we have a sunny theme going. Paul and Cora Stoppert invited neighbors in for dinner on Sunday and there was pie. Lemon meringue pie, made from scratch with fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Progress continues at the Blue Pelican. On Tuesday a big yellow crane was lifting […]
