I have been continuing to feel the need for creating things… but in a way that is less of a major mess. So rather then getting every wood cutting tool I own out I have opted to see what happens when you stuff me in a kitchen for an afternoon. Which works out good with [...]

There is a body of water called Sleeping Bear Bay, found in the Manitou Passage in northern Michigan. At the point were the Crystal River snakes through the mainland and meets this bay, several large boulders can be found harboring just below the surface in water that is 6′ deep.

Yesterday after engaging with my computer for 6 hours I decided to treat myself to a Starbucks. As I walked back to the car with hot beverage in hand I first noticed how soft the turf was I was crossing… so soft you wanted to lay down and take nap in it. Then wanting to [...]

My son informs me that the Weber in the back yard looks like a large bobber. It is so important to be open to the views and insights of others. A closed mind is like wall around a fort… it protects the content from harm but it prevents those within from obtaining a [...]

On a recent trip “up north” as us Michiganders call it… my 11 year old son convinced us to stop and check out a deserted factory he saw in the periphery of his vision as we creeped down M115 on a cold, snowy day. Much to our surprise it was not a factory, but an [...]

Facing west the wind that ripped east across the Great Lakes, brought with it frozen pellets and flakes of moisture that pin pricked our faces. The tractor and flat bed that pulled us to this desolate location of the tree farm had chugged off into another dale. We were left there with our saw and [...]

This morning felt like a return to home. I’m rare in this regard… I love the pre-day hours. For the last several months I had altered the events in my day in a way that enabled me to sleep like a rock but robbed me of these early morning moments of solitude.
The world at peace, [...]
