There was a great story at MLive.com today about how awesome it is being close to all the water that makes up our great state of Michigan. I’ve lived here nearly my whole life, and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve never worked a job that depended on the water, like the people featured in the [...]

There are a lot of good places for tourists to visit here in Michigan. Sometimes, I forget that I live in one. I was reminded of that yesterday when my sister came to visit me, in Detroit. I imagine that no matter what big city you live in, or even if you live in a [...]

It’s one of the most wonderful times of the year — when the Tigers are about to clinch the division title, the University of Michigan is still at a winning record, and the Lions haven’t blown their season yet. And even though we have plenty of sports events here in Detroit, my husband and I [...]

This Saturday might as well be the beginning of the calendar year, for my husband. It’s college football time. Actually, it’s University of Michigan football time. Early this Saturday, we will wake up, pack up the car with cold beverages, meat and dogs (actual canines, although there might be hot dogs, too), and drive to [...]

It’s pretty unusual for a pre-season football game to be sold out. Even more unusual, the pre-season game features our own Detroit Lions, who unfortunately, just two short seasons ago did not fare too well.
