I very much enjoyed today’s Winter Photography Class at Matthaei. It was taught by Mark O’Brien. We had a little bit of instruction and then all went out and wandered together in the winter woods, playing with exposure, watching our batteries drain exceptionally fast, shivering a bit, and having fun. At the end of the [...]

There were wonderful planes today at the Ann Arbor Airport (KARB). The Stearman was out, but Chris is often there with it. He was offering flights in it as a fundraiser for Great Commission Air. Perhaps the jets were there for the same reason? We went for a joyride to Marshall and back, and on [...]
ArbCamp was Saturday 10/27. What amazed me was the number of students who were able to attend - driving to Ann Arbor from E. Lansing, Flint, and some coming from the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area.

So, this whole “not having a car thing” is rippling into other things. The current struggle is whether to change dentists. I have been going to Enspire Dental, formerly Farah & Associates, for several years now. Well, they’re out on Liberty and not on a bus line, so I pretty much can’t get to them [...]

For interested and distant friends and family, here is the write-up on our house for the Old West Side Homes Tour. This story appeared in the September Old West Side News. The write-up gets my current profession wrong even after I corrected them, but otherwise it is a nice summary. Probably not a good idea [...]
