Making do
Babs and I are both having a bad day, but we’re making do. Here’s what she wrote: I took some pictures today and when I got home I realized I did not have a CF card in my camera so didn’t have a new one for this week. So I went into the recent archives […]
A lone hardwater sailor on Torch Lake at sunset
February 2, 2009
Babs Young sent us this peaceful, almost dreamy photo. She wrote, It’s not a regatta, but it is a hard water sailor on the north end of Torch Lake. Dunno, Babs. Iceboaters are pretty fierce. I’ll bet this one was draped in icepicks and trailing a muskie. Pretty scenery, though . . . Every week […]
Letters from Babs: Ice boats are a-comin’ are a-comin’ are a-comin’ . . .
January 25, 2009
Babs has been keeping an eye on the ice on Torch Lake, so naturally she met some ice-boaters. I have spoken to these people before (ERN: Hardwater sailors skim across Torch) and have determined that they are, to put it politely, utterly daft. Friendly, though. Anyway, they were out and about today, draped in ice […]
Full Moon over Torch Lake
January 11, 2009

Torch Lake vs Petoskey
June 12, 2008
My blogging software says someone found Torch Lake Views by searching “torch lake vs petoskey” on Google. I got to thinking about it – what, exactly, did the searcher have in mind??? So I decided to explain the differences here, just in case anyone else is unclear on these matters. Petoskey: a town in northern […]
Post Pantry: Michael and Me, Diving for Guns in Torch Lake, and Staying out of Jail
June 5, 2008
You know those weeks when you’ve been really busy at work and you buy carryout until you’re sick of it and the refrigerator is full of unidentifiable lumps of things and the kids are crabby and hungry and you don’t really want to cook from scratch? You know those things you keep in the pantry […]
