What a week! Our computer was completely fried (we lost everything), my car is broke and we lost electricity. Fortunately, it’s was a short work week AND the Wayne County building was finally purchased. The beautiful domed structure downtown has been vacant for years and was one of the standout examples of Detroit’s deficiencies. Details … More Happy Friday!
I brought a pasta salad to my sister-in-law’s for the 4th of July and it was delicious. I picked a salad with radish because I had leftovers from the Thai chicken tacos I made earlier in the week (and highly recommend). The picture is from the original recipe but I doctored it up a bit. … More Summer Pasta Salad
This is pretty much my life right now. Stories pop into my head and claw on my brain until I get it on paper. Gruesome visual I know but I assure you it is exactly that painful. I swear my ideas keep getting longer and longer. Currently I’m in the zone. I’ve written over 15,000 … More Do Not Disturb
Team USA may be out of the World Cup but football/soccer is going strong in Detroit. Detroit City Football Club (DCFC) is a minor league team playing its third season at Cass Technical High School in Midtown Detroit and this weekend we went to our first (but not our last) game. Yesterday’s game was the first … More Detroit City Football Club
It’s that time of year again. America’s birthday a.k.a. the time Americans spend their evenings wondering if it’s fireworks or gunshots filling the night air. As frustrated as I usually am with this country I’d still rather live here than most places, so here’s to another 238 years! Best part of the holiday is the … More Happy Friday/Happy 4th
The things you can find on Youtube. Rob Cantor performs an original song using 29 celebrity impressions.
A vacation in Michigan is pretty affordable. The beautiful beaches, trails and parks were free. Our hotel was less than $100 and included breakfast. We spent our money on food and drinks and it was worth it. Danny is adamant that Michigan has the best craft beer in the country. I don’t drink beer but … More Michigan Adventures Part II
Michigan is an amazing state. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t move here. For starters we have fresh water! Hands down when an apocalypse comes this is where I want to be. Also our natural disasters are mostly limited to blizzards and they really won’t kill you or harm your property. Setting aside the great … More Michigan Adventures Part I
It wasn’t the easiest challenge but I managed to go the weekend without social media. When I logged back on Facebook I saw a post on a PBS documentary airing tonight about Detroit activist, Grace Lee Boggs. I’m embarrassed to admit that although I recognized her name, I know nothing about her. I look forward to … More Grace Lee Boggs
Keep your fingers crossed that it’s a clear night Friday because I plan to enjoy some star gazing. Danny and I are hitting the road this afternoon and I couldn’t be more excited. We’ve been so busy lately I feel like I haven’t seen him in weeks! This extended weekend will give us some much … More A Happy Thursday
