Well, that nap went about an hour or two longer than I had anticipated. I must have been wore out. I just got a call from my little 'sweet buns' telling me that she was just getting ready to leave Lansing and she has a surprise for me. I'm never sure what she means by that. I'm hoping that she can... Sign in to see full entry.

I have checked into a nice hotel on the south end of Plainfield Ave in northern Grand Rapids while Lisa has gone to visit some friends over in Lansing, a 45 minute trip from here to there. The I-96 exit to get to Lansing is literally just down the block. She goes one block south and takes the exit... Sign in to see full entry.
We have arrived at the funeral home. Sign in to see full entry.
We are at a Walmart in the city of Alma, about 40 miles north of Lansing. We got off to a good start and despite some on and off rain showers, this has been an uneventful trip. Traffic is unusably light and Lisa is driving unusually fast so we've made very good time. I have my laptop with us so I... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have Proof
There is an age old question that has something to do with the bathroom tactics of bear. I have proof! YES!, They do! When I showed this to Lisa, she didn't believe me. A few steps up the path, we saw a fairly clear footie print. In case you are wondering, those are wild cherry pits. Sign in to see full entry.
Metamorphosis

Where the norm had been Freshman Grammar, Sophomore Grammar, Junior Grammar and finally, Senior Grammar, my school - Central Montcalm... Sign in to see full entry.
When I awoke this morning, Lisa showed me what she had written and posted here during the night. Words fail me some days. I am still moved. It is my intention to be on the road toward Grand Rapids tomorrow morning no later than 8AM for the 2PM funeral service. It is my understanding that Kagan will... Sign in to see full entry.

Hmmm. This normally would be about the time that I would come into this office kick the computer on, and begin to write. I still want to write, but with the hectic schedule that lays ahead the next few days, I have decided to spend this time with my wife who is upstairs taking a shower. A lot of...

It is roughly 53 degrees this morning with a steady stiff wind coming in off the big lake at about 30+mph. A wonderful day for a walk! As cold as it is, Lisa and I did take the dogs out for a forty-five minute walk. I figured it's a good way to get ready to take them for a walk when it is more like... Sign in to see full entry.

It's 68 here right now at 6:30 PM Sunday night, probably the last time that we'll see that temp for at least a week. We wanted to go out this afternoon, but the tourist traffic is extremely heavy. It will be gone come Tuesday morning and we'll go some place then. The funeral that we are going will... Sign in to see full entry.
