I subscribe to Budget Travel (and their email newsletter) because we like to travel, and we like to travel inexpensively. One of the articles in their latest newsletter was “The World’s Most Beautiful Lakes“. I was saddened that none of my favorite lakes, Mullett Lake, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior were included on their list,…

Vacation time!
Today starts a week of vacation for me. After a day of lake time, projects and such today, we’re taking a short excursion up north. We will be traveling to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with our granddaughter Jenna and taking in some of our favorite things there. We’re going to start at the Soo Locks in…

Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle
I got a big kick out of reading Dan Gilbert’s blog posting today regarding LeBron James’ signing with the Miami Heat. It was quite interesting that he should play the loyalty card so strongly, given that he tried extremely hard to woo Tom Izzo from Michigan State with tons of money and supposed opportunity, eschewing…

There are four things I really miss from the Philly area that I can’t get elsewhere easily, or at least they’re not close to the same. I had my Lee’s Hoagie House roast beef hoagie for lunch today, and…

The Madness of March
It’s started again, with a vengeance. College hoops will take front and center for the next three weeks. I’ve made my picks, in three different pools at three different times. One is quite different from the other two, which are eerily similar. as of right now, 8 games in, I have 4, 5 and 6…

Watching Ice Melt
It’s almost spring, and that means it’s time for the ice to go from our lake. Mullett Lake is always the last to freeze up here, and the last to thaw. It’s surprising that the ice is starting to melt so quickly this year, but we have had a relatively mild (low snow) winter and…
