I’ve got the golf bug! Time to get set with some new clubs for the season ahead, start swinging again, and get this snow outta here.

Zero Degrees
(Boardman River between Union Street and Cass Street)
This week started with the kind of cold temperature that reminds me of the value of long underwear, ski hats, and gloves. It makes for beautiful land- and waterscapes, which I enjoy en route to the office each morning.
Snow blowing the driveway continues to be enjoyable – must be something about making straight lines, manual labor, and a refreshing wakeup.
I always drive down and up the cleared driveway to test the conditions. The cold has been good as far as not having to salt, which wouldn’t melt anyway. It’s fun to see the small, white Christmas lights that Lindsey strung along the steep “Double Dogleg” portion. They are the best recent addition to our little wonderland.

Our Year in Cities 2013
During 2013, Lindsey and I spent at least one night in each of the cities listed below.
- Traverse City, MI (Hometown)
- Cleveland, OH (Carley’s Wedding – L only)
- Ishpeming, MI (Meeting Trygg Quayle)
- Trout Lake, MI (56th Annual Mackinac Bridge Walk)
- South Bend, IN (Notre Dame EP Seminar – C only)
- Pinkney, MI (Harvey’s 1st UM football game)
Not mentioned above are the five nights we spent at Munson Hospital for Harvey’s birth, which felt like a different world after a few days.

Jerky Fest 2013
A dear ol’ friend, Ben Piehl, stopped by on Boxing Day and brought his smoker and marinated beef and buffalo strips. We’ve made jerky three years running, and it’s become a fun holiday-time tradition. This year, the result was our best yet, not that I can take much credit! It’s always fun to catch up and play some ping pong. The highlight for Lindsey and me was seeing Ben hold Harvey.
