We are free again! Well, ok, we really never stopped being free. The virus just made for minor inconveniences… and locked us out of our favorite restaurants. Yes, that was our biggest suffering. Does that make us selfish? Does that make us evil? Because we were spared participation in the pandemic of fear and agony?…
June 1st: An Executive Order

May 28th: Human Touch
Fear strikes out Funny how in the absence of absolute scientific proof, we devolve into a society of fear. Egged on by clickbait anti-science. Media… loving to breathlessly pump up panic. Yes, smear 1 million virus particles on an Amazon package and at least one single virus particle remains detectable after 24 hours. Don’t mention…
May 20th: Fishing Sunday!
Such an encouraging sight to see the fishing boats out on the lake. We spent a leisurely morning at City Beach, just down from the Grand Haven State Park. Lots of boats dotting the lake. Word is the king salmon are biting with abandon. We will find out for ourselves on Sunday when we go…

The good news is the snow fences have been taken down at the Ottawa County North Beach in Ferrysburg… our home beach. Sand has been smoothed, even as the winds continue to drift more sand into the parking lot. Warm weather is just days away. Plenty of bad news too though. Parts of the once…
May 10th: My latest conversation with John Lennon
Not the first time, won’t be the last I talked to John Lennon again last night. No, he didn’t come to me in a dream… that would be weird. I go to him in my dream. He hangs out at his car wash on top of Sleeping Bear Dunes. It is a beautiful drive. I…
May 7th: Patriots, Loyalists and Nazis (real ones)
I love Michigan. It has been the main topic of my 2+ year old blog. Politics has been consistently avoided. But this time I will offer my point of view on the Michigan protesters and the governor. I hope this is of use. Apologies for the length, it is my longest post. My Loyalist Friend …

April 28th: Have you ever been lost in a dream?
This is a new one for me… lost in a dream. It happened last night. The set up I love to drive. Long trips with my wife. Or the whole family years ago. But another pleasure is driving alone. The open road. I loved driving to work, or my semi-nearby manufacturing plants. Sometimes the road…
