Birthday Approaching

Posted on April 7, 2007

Two months from today is my birthday. I’m quirky about that. I notice every month how far it is in days to the next birthday or how far it was from the last. Maybe it’s because birthdays are special in

Eric

Posted on April 4, 2007

I’m home in my own Michigan world; but fond memories of last weekend’s visit to Fargo, ND, persist. One night, Kevin and I saw Eric Clapton live at the Fargodome, a venue better suited to basketball games but still adequate

Sarello’s Revisited

Posted on March 31, 2007

Kevin and I eat at Sarello’s every time I visit Fargo. It’s a four star restaurant in a two star town. Two star trying to grow into something more stellar. I can’t remember the number of times we’ve been to

Road Trip

Posted on August 7, 2006

On the road again, on the road again . . . I’m reminded of a Willy Nelson lyric as Earl and I driver across Indiana and part of Illinois to revisit the historic town of Galena, home of Ulysses S.

Missing

Posted on August 5, 2006

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the day the young teenage girl was found. She’d been missing for over two years, although not many people noticed. It was a time of upheaval and families everywhere struggled.

The Silverhawks

Posted on July 23, 2006

Last night Earl and I attended a Silverhawks baseball game in South Bend. We’d been there before and found the venue charming. It’s not expensive to see a ballgame, the hot dogs are decent, there is beer everywhere, and the

Thank You Notes

Posted on July 11, 2006

I have three friends who write wonderful thank you notes, the pen-to-paper kind that come in the mail. The kind most of us dreaded writing as children because we didn’t know how to get past “Dear Aunt Jane, Thank you
