  • Cinammon stick rant

    Those who have been around East Lansing, Michigan for more than a few years may remember Bilbo’s Restaurant/Bar. I think a place called La Trattoria, or something like that, is in its space now. It’s right next to El Azteco. You know the place. Anyway, back then, Bilbo’s had the best cinnamon sticks anywhere. In…

  • Talk about taking advantage of the war…

    So there’s this guy I know that frequently sends me stuff that I consider spam. Anyway, here is the latest. This “news” website NewsMax.com really seems to be taking advantage of anti-French sentiment in the U.S. Before you continue, just take a look at their boycott France web page, then come back and read the…

  • I am alone.

    Okay, so that’s a little dramatic. Chey and Lila are down in Richmond, Indiana for a week and a half. They are staying with some friends of ours (they also have a two-year old). Chey is on spring break (she teaches at Lansing Community College), and she is taking this opportunity to hole up in…

  • Tri-state road review

    Yesterday I was driving around the area where Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana meet. Some roads were I96 and highway 20 (is that an Ohio highway?). Anyway, my review is that roads in Michigan are, in general, bumpier than in Ohio or Indiana. Not so nice to drive upon. Why the difference? Is it weather? Funding…

  • Redesigned

    So, with the ditching of the frames came a bit of a prettying up for this page. Note the background image in the lower-left. Those are actually some photoshopped leaves from our plant, George.

  • We’re expecting, by the way…

    For those who haven’t heard yet, we are expecting our second child. Due date is August 10th. We’re scheduled to go camping up north the week before that, so that could be an interesting trip.
