I should have bought a lottery ticket!
Do you ever have one of those days when everything seems to go the right way?
I had one when I traveled to Chicago this weekend for a speaking engagement…
I checked in at the airport and was upgraded to the last seat in first class.

Who would you want as a chapter volunteer?
It’s easy to complain about not having enough volunteers…
They don’t have time.
They don’t come back.
They don’t want to play.

Yesterday afternoon I saw some of the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen falling with fury and once again wrapping Ann Arbor in a blanket of [...]

The goal of the calendar was to help people think ahead - [...]

Today several charges were brought against the Mayor for lying under oath - in addition to other things.
In the chats that sprang up on the news sites following the announcement of the Wayne County Prosecutor many people applauded her willingness to stand up for justice and hold Kilpatrick to the [...]

We celebrated our one year birthday this weekend.
On March 22, 2007 I launched my blog.
It was sort of nerve-wrecking.
This was my first attempt at doing a blog.
It took a good month or so to find my voice.
I’m pretty proud of our time together.
Over the past year we’ve shared interesting adventures such as…

It must be spring in Ann Arbor?
In the last 24 hours we got about 10 inches of snow.
What a great way to start Easter weekend!
There are several Easter Egg hunts scheduled for this morning.
One local group dyed 214 dozen eggs for their party.
At least with the color, the kids should be able to spot the eggs [...]
