One of the top 20 books in the 2008 Michigan Notable Books list, “An Unquiet Grave” turned out to be a very good read. I couldn’t hardly put it down and spent a few late nights finishing it up. A few days later my wife got around to reading it and she plowed [...]

“The Corner” was written and sung by Ben Hassenger about his and others’ memories of Tiger Stadium. He plans on heading down to The Corner from his home near Lansing to shoot a video.
You can take a listen at his MySpace page or the Detroit Free Press.
I think he did a great job. [...]

When I planted pole beans this year I staggered the planting so we would have a steady flow of green beans during the summer. Our first planting began producing beans at the end of last week and we have already enjoyed two quarts of delicious and tender beans. The other plantings are catching [...]

This is from the Detroit News. Last night the Red Wings beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 to win the Stanley Cup. I’m still short on sleep after watching their 3 Overtime loss Monday night.

Tons of fun and another championship for the city of Detroit.

The Mining Journal has a neat article on a couple from Harvey that are in their mid-80s and are really into recycling. Some of this younger generation might think that recycling is a new thing that folks have come up with to treat the environment in a kinder, gentler fashion.
Believe it or not, but [...]

Play Ball!
The Detroit Tigers open the 2008 season this afternoon at Comerica Park for a 1:00pm tilt against the Kansas City Royals. Whether or not they make it to the World Series this year I think it will be a fun time listening/watching the Tigers. They have one of the best lineups in [...]

Yesterday, after posting about MichiganIsAmazing.com shutting down on January 31, 2008 I did some quick searching to find out just who was behind this blog/website. A WhoIs Lookup didn’t tell me a thing as any private data was hidden.
