Visiting in the Rain
This was today’s visitor, they often hang out at the end of my lawn where there is some flooding or fish in the shallow water beside the dock. This is the first one I’ve seen actually ON the dock. Wish I had a lens that let me get closer. This was taken through my rain [...]

Best Apple Crisp Ever
I began making this apple crisp while living in Toronto. The basic recipe came straight out of an old Betty Crocker cookbook circa 1987, which is likely the year I began enjoying the dessert. While I was working as a counsellor at the Bob Rumball Centre for the Deaf, I would get together for dinner [...]

Traverse City – Summer Roadtrip
Traverse City is a beautiful city wrapped around the base of Grand Traverse Bay. We checked into the first hotel we saw because it had an amazing view of the bay and sunset. The hot tub in the room was a bonus. We headed out to the Apache Trout Grill for dinner. The wait was [...]

Old Mission Peninsula – Summer Roadtrip
Old Mission Peninsula is a long jut of land that divides Grand Traverse Bay in half, giving it the shape – with creative license – of a molar and its roots. It was an easy 17 mile drive to the Old Mission Point Lighthouse, at end of the road. While there I discovered I was [...]

Legend tells of a mother bear and her two cubs taking to the water to escape a raging fire in what is now, Wisconsin. They swam for miles and after tiring the cubs lagged behind. When the mother bear reached the opposite shore, she climbed atop a hill to watch for her babies, but the [...]

Roadside Views – Summer Roadtrip
We headed north from Ludington after the hike, counted our blessings when we discovered The Bungalow Inn still serving dinner at 10 pm. After checking several Manistee hotels late into the night, we finally found one that was not booked full with fishermen hoping to win the local derby. I awoke to another beautiful blue [...]

Ludington, Michigan – Summer Roadtrip
Two years ago traveled to Shanty Creek and did a drive by tour through Charlevois & Petoskey on my way to Mackinac Island. I liked what I saw and wanted to tour the little finger portion of the Michigan mitten. The first Lake Michigan view was supposed to happen around Saugatuck, but a missed sign [...]

Powering Up & Skating Off
I was back on roller skates again for the first time in too many years, thanks to an invitation to P.O.W.E.R Organization’s fundraising event hosted by Latoniya Jones. Her organization helps children aged 7-16 increase their confidence, competency, and proficiency with math. In my head, I was movin’ and groovin’ to the sounds of the [...]

Visiting Chicago’s Suburbs – Summer Roadtrip
I had the good fortune of segueing a Chicago area conference into a vacation up the coast of Lake Michigan. I loved the coast from Ludington to Traverse City and hope to take my boys back next summer. The trip began at the Infusionsoft Customer Tour in Lombard, Illinois. Infusionsoft has put together a knowledgeable [...]

The Meaning of Home
At first look, it appears obvious that we can see what is happening in our current housing market. People are losing or selling their homes and moving onto other abodes. Whether it’s by choice or necessity, homeowners are adapting because they have to. What’s not apparent is the hidden tsunami of emotion that hits us [...]

Ridin’ Detroit
When traveling, one of may favorite things to do is to bike an area. I’ve seen several places on two self-propelled wheels. Vancouver’s Stanley Park & Granville Island, Ontario’s Pelee Island, Michigan’s Mackinac Island, St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands and now, closer to home, Detroit’s Dequindre Cut. I highly recommend all the tours [...]

1st Peek at the WLN Marching Band 2011 Show
This video was taken during the performance after Band Camp on August 13, 2011. The rain held off and the band did an excellent job. I’m looking forward to seeing the show on the field in the next few weeks. They are playing movie scores which includes Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, [...]

Dangerous Regression
As I sat working in the Family Room today, the two story room was filled with echoes of mischievous giggles and footsteps running up and downstairs, slamming doors, followed by hollers between cohorts. I was immediately transported back to having two active boys and my mother’s instincts kicked in. I knew I had to go [...]

A Most Unusual Playmate
My favorite time to get out in the kayak is on a still early evening while the sun is 3/4 finished it’s daily journey across the sky. Tonight, I decided to explore the small waterways branching off the main lake for the first time this season. As I pointed the front of my kayak into [...]

Downtown Cleveland

Lush vegetation, higher water than usual
Lush vegetation, higher water than usual, originally uploaded by cletch. Walking the dog at Dodge Park in Commerce, Mi. The little stream is usually much quieter than it is today. It seems the greenery has enjoyed all this rain. It also seems the wildlife is more abundant / noisier thus year. Pat Williams 248-842-5527 CyberCletch [...]
