I’m pretty sure I’ve never welcomed in Memorial Day in a more appropriate manner. My dear wife Karen told me our great friend Michelle had a big plan for late Sunday afternoon into evening.

In thundered while DJ, Bird, Marie and I played our first hole. I do believe lightning may have flashed fairly close to Northern Pines in Cicero, N.Y. But the folks in the clubhouse who closely watch the radar — they have a senior ranger in who roams the course in a cart to monitor speed…
The results are in. You voted with your feet. Well, no you didn’t. It wasn’t the kind of poll where you actually have to drive there and pull down the lever and hang a chad or anything like that. No, a week ago I decided to ask the world with a poll what my dear…
Let us take a moment today to solve a small mystery about one of my favorite mystery writers, shall we? There are certain folks here in BloggyVille whose absence of an uncommon length raises a chill in my soul, a pause in my thought and an investigation of some sort on my part. Rachel’s been…
