As I write, I am still a little stiff from being up north at sister Patty and her mainsqueeze Wes’ new cabin in the north. Did a little brush moving and a little fire wood staking (very little), did some reading and some walking in the woods. Oh, and I got a little sun on […]
“Interesting,” thought I, starting to connect imaginary dots in the sky before me. “Two of my favorite restaurants have decided, on their own and separate of each other, to think outside the box and try something new.” What is interesting, at least to me, is beyond the newness of their actions, were some dichotomies between […]
This just in from the Road Commission (as a matter of fact, it is their press release word-for-word). Oakland County residents living on gravel roads who would like to participate in the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) dust-control program this summer and fall, can now submit their applications for the service. Applications must be […]
A little over 50 years ago, on March 16, 1967, The Clarkston News ran a full page story featuring the high school career of one Dan Fife, #33. The article, written by Mel Vaara, came after Fife’s final basketball game as a senior, and after Clarkston High School retired his number. The Wolves did not […]
In case you missed it, over here in Clarkston, the boys basketball program won its first-ever state title. As I type, in my head with my inner ears I hear the band Queen singing softly, “We are the champions, we are the champions . . .” Last Saturday, the Clarkston Wolves downed the Grand Rapids […]
I case you missed it, at 6:38 a.m. on Monday we officially entered Spring 2017. That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. (Which is why I buy my coffee from A Bean To Go). Yup, at 6:38 a.m., the sun was perfectly positioned over the equator, signifying spring in the […]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop your whining. It’s the middle of March and it snowed. Big deal. It’s winter in Michigan, for crying out loud. And, while I (like you) was gearing up for an unusually early spring, it didn’t happen. Groundhogs be damned, who can trust overgrown rodents anyway? Get over it and focus your […]
If you use Google like I do (which is whenever a weird or random thought pops into my head, I Google it) you learn lots of things and at the same time come up with more questions that need answering. I think Google has become my surrogate parent now I am a graying parent myself. […]
Oh, since about what, Day One AE (After Election) I have yammered on about all the hubbub taking place in these here un-united states of America. Fake news, stupid un-presidential “tweets”, the unending squawking from anyone and everyone who may or may not have been hurt by said tweets and especially by those elitist Hollywood […]
I never gave much thought to the scientific study of how particular qualities or traits are transmitted from parents to offspring. Deep contemplation on this subject, like most in my realm of existence, doesn’t happen often. It’s okay. I know myself. I just kinda roll with the punches and see where I land. Since I […]
