Fun Stuff!

Humor

Business Babble! We've all heard it. Find out just what thinking outside the box and getting on the same page really mean.

Got a Book Idea? Find your way through the Desert of Rejection with my roadmap for computer book authors.

Fun at Church

Juniors at Hogback! Travel along with the kids from my church's Junior Sabbath School class as we hike the Hogback.

Gifts and a Goad! Pumpkin cookies and getting jabbed in the back with a nail by some kids at church. It doesn't get any better than that.

Jonny-G in Jail! Is that Jonathan wearing a jail uniform? Say it isn't so.

Life in Munising

Fall Color! Check out the color I get to see in Munising each fall.

Dishwasher Needed! Happiness is when you drop everything and help your wife with the dishes.

Dam! Beaver Dam, that is. Jeff and I go on walkabout to seek out a nearby beaver dam.

Mountain Bike Mud Path Ride along on a muddy trail that I used to like before discovering better (and cleaner!) places to ride.

DQ Time! Dairy Queen is a fixture of life in Munising. Opening day in the spring is a highly-anticipated event.

Office or Dungeon? It's big; it's roomy; it costs a fortune to heat; and it's messy. I keep my office in the basement.

Pictured Rocks Falling Down Rock collapses at Grand Portal Point and Miners Castle (offsite at nps.gov) vividly demonstrate the dynamic nature of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Icebergs in the Woods! Start with a sheer cliffline, toss in plenty of groundwater seepage, and finish off with a cold winter. That's a recipe for serious ice, and serious ice takes a long time to melt.

The Kids

A Little Snowflake Some tender thoughts from my daughter on keeping a snowflake as a pet.

Valley Spur My son Jeff and I used to volunteer now and again to run the lodge at the Valley Spur cross-country ski trails.

Hiking the Hogback Looking for a great day-hike with drop-dead awesome views for you and the kids near Marquette, Michigan? Ask for directions to Hogback Mountain, and get ready to climb.

My Son Jeff Here are just a couple of random photos of my son Jeff that I once ran on the front page of my site. The toolkit he's got is an Oracle OpenWorld giveaway. Kids love trade show swag.
