We had dinner at Amadeus an Eastern European restaurant that features some wonderful Polish food. We’ve been eating here for over twenty years. It was our Thursday night retreat when we were both teaching. We would have a long leisurely meal as my week would be over but Susan would have a final Friday ofContinue reading “The end of November”

Thanksgiving, 2024
The past couple of days have been wonderful and packed full of people and places. We spent two days in Petosky with Mike and Deb, also getting to see Susan and Isaac. Great meals and games. We spent a morning in downtown Petosky where we went to the watch shop, kitchen store, book store andContinue reading “Thanksgiving, 2024”
Travel day thoughts and humor
Yesterday make 165 years since Darwin published On the Origin of Species. Perhaps nothing has affected my life more than Darwin’s writings. This, along with the Voyage of the Begal, and his theory of evolution have allowed me to evolve into what I am today. Which often makes me look at events through the eyesContinue reading “Travel day thoughts and humor”
November at Whitefish Point
November is when we start burning wood in our stove. We’ll see how well I did spliting kindling and smaller pieces to get the fires going and how long it will last. So far it’s looking like we might be set for the Winter and Spring. What a difference a year makes. The photo onContinue reading “November at Whitefish Point”
Whitefish Point, November 2024
Walking along the boardwalk towards the point we found where the waterfowl shack had been moved for the winter. While it is only a few hundred yards from where it was and it was a lot of work to move it is in a safe place for the winter. The “point” has grown some 120Continue reading “Whitefish Point, November 2024”

There’s been no snow since we’ve been here, which is pretty unusual. Now on to some cartoons to brighten your day. This is fromContinue reading “Humor for a dreary day”
Douglas, Day-3 birds
Needless to say not all of our time in Douglas was spent eating and giving a talk. We also spent time with Martin and Catherine out looking for birds. In the Allegan State Game Area we found a field with over 500 Sandhill Cranes. It’s always nice seeing so many on the ground. While weContinue reading “Douglas, Day-3 birds”
Douglas, Day-2
The day started with breakfast at Happystance, which I can highly recommend. And anyplace with a flamingo at their entrance should be great. After breakfast we went to Oval Beach in search of a nature trail. The near the entance to the beach we found a trail for Mount Baldhead, which was excellent. For lunchContinue reading “Douglas, Day-2”
Ann Arbor and Douglas
owntown Ann Arbor is always fun anytime of the year. The various murals are always changing or being updated. This one in on the back of the Art Center. This was in the window of a shop. Oh how has coffee affected me over the years? Speaking of coffee and hot drinks is the timeContinue reading “Ann Arbor and Douglas”
Armistice Day, Remembrance Day or Veterans Day
Most comics have something to do with the events and remembering WWI and WWII. Snoopy celebrating with Bill Mauldin. Mr. Mauldin did editorial cartoons about US soldiers in the in WWII. Obviously, Arlo & Janis have covered the day many times. I learned about Armistice Day as a young child. And at some point IContinue reading “Armistice Day, Remembrance Day or Veterans Day”
