Yesterday was in the mid-80's, with a low of 64. Today will have a high of 73, with a low in the mid 40's. Tomorrow will be in the upper 60's. Joy. It's not that I mind the temps, but I do not like this high high and then the low lows. It tends to make you sickly if you are not used to it. We may... Sign in to see full entry.

This was a post made by a local sheriff department for would-be visitors to the UP. I heartily agree. Just wanted to post something to help people who have never traveled to the UP that may help you plan your trip. * Restaurants are sparse, and depending on where your traveling could possibly be non...

While I had a decent night sleep, I feel 'off.' A slight headache, and just blah. I doubt it is anything serious, but it is the first time I have felt like this in a long time. Such is life. It will be 84 today, warm for the UP, but quite normal for anything downstate and outstate. Tomorrow and the... Sign in to see full entry.

"Yes, I have tricks in my pocket, I have things up my sleeve. But I am the opposite of a stage magician. He gives you an illusion that has the appearance of truth. I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion." - Tom Wingfield from The Glass Menagerie Sign in to see full entry.
I'm rather embarrassed to tell you this, but I got escorted out of the bank today and told not to come back. I kept telling them it was a misunderstanding. A woman behind me said she was there to check her balance, so I pushed her. It isn't my fault she fell. She obviously has a physical problem. Sign in to see full entry.
If Ya Wanna Get People To Look At You In Walmart...
I change Lisa's name on my cell all the time, just to have some fun. I forgot that I had changed the name on her number from 'Lisa' to 'A Very Sexy Lady' last night... until I was in Walmart and she called me. My cell 'talks' to me when I get a call, so when Lisa called me, I happened to be talking... Sign in to see full entry.
Another warm day, but not really a hot day. I have to run over to the Soo to pick up some meds and a few stray groceries. Lisa will ride shotgun, watching for deer and or moose. The deer are flighty creatures that will appear from nowhere, darting across the road, and the moose will stop dead on the... Sign in to see full entry.

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. All I am asking from them is $5,000 down and $500 a month on our land contract. They came over to talk with us, and we had a good time. After they left, Lisa... Sign in to see full entry.
