A long time ago, when Judy and I were in a San Francisco restaurant that, to my knowledge, did not serve Asian food. So imagine my surprise when we received a 'fortune cookie.' I can't recall what Judy's cookie said, but mine said, ' The future is cloudy. ' Well, duh. The future is always 'cloudy.'... Sign in to see full entry.

Breaking UP News
Just a few days back, we learned about the guy who jumped off the Arch Rock over on Mackinaw Island. Today, I am reading about a tragedy over by a place that Lisa and I love - Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Apparently, someone attempted to get a bit further out on the ledge, and fell a lot of...

So very much to do and so little time to do it. I was told over the weekend that the 'kids' buying our house will be able to close this week.

Hello again. Sorry about the little mini-vacation, but we decided that everything could simmer a few days while we celebrated our.... mmm... how to say? Well, we celebrated being with one another.

There's only one way to describe what is happening outside, and that is in this song. From a high of 82 yesterday to pushing 5 today. That was Florida weather most of the time, but that is rare Yooper weather. We went out early this morning with the dogs to avoid the heat. Lisa was going to go into... Sign in to see full entry.
