I am officially on my way to New York City (currently over Michigan!) and the trip is going well so far. The seat next to me on the plane is open, which always a bonus, AND our travel agent gave me a little upgrade which never hurts J

I am going to try to keep this blog as updated as possible… I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

Good evening Ohio!

Wow... I don't know where to start. I didn't write for a while: no internet in Cleveland and since Thursday I'm with friends: there nicer things to do now than work on the laptop.

On my first day here (Nov 12) John & Janet took me to the Motown Musum which is situated in the tiny little house where it all started. Amazing how so much great music can come out of such a small building.

The second day ...

Oh Detroit (or rather Detroit suburbia), how you have saved my Michigan experience!

I was already excited to travel to "Detroit" because I knew I was going to get to see Anne, my friend from grad school who I haven't seen since we both graduated. Then it just kept getting better and better. She managed to score us tickets to see her boyfriend's new show... and not just any show my friends... Evil Dead: The Musical!!!! I was so excited. We grabbed a quick dinner ...

So its the 23rd and I'm going to Mikes Halloween party. I've been going to them for as long as he's been throwing them.
I wanted to dress up as The Dude, played by Jeff Bridges in the movie The Big Lebowski. And drink White Russians all night but alas this is not to be. I couldn't find the wig or goatee.

... late, but all of a sudden it was already too late, and I had to attend his memorial service instead. The memorial service was followed by a beautiful all-day party at the house that drew most of his closest friends, who were legion, and we had a ball enjoying Jeff's largesse even though he had already left us. He was a guy who was generous beyond measure, and his friends-like myself-are all better persons for having known and loved him. Rest In Peace, my Brother. -Detroit September 1, 2007

... a lot of tomato, giant tomato, the Tomato Festival (Heinz ketchup's Canadian plant is based in Leamington); Pelee National Park; Point Pelee (the southern most tip of Canada); numerous hiking and biking trials; the Waterfront Promenade by Lake Erie and acres and acres of greenhouses. Leamington is so relaxing that in both of our trips, Jordan could not resist to take a nap. ☺ It is definitely a small town that we enjoy driving, walking around, buying ...
