Out and About – Week of August 5th

Here we are already five days into the month of August. To me, this will be a summer to remember. April and early May are normally the months when we receive our share of rain, yet I can’t remember a day in June when I didn’t need an umbrella. Building an ark did not seem like a bad idea. July …

We need more places to eat and shop, and there’s nothing to do for a night out.” Now granted, we don’t have as many places to go for entertainment or fine dining as is available in Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids, but for the city of our size, I think …

Cantaloupe and cottage cheese make a great lunch. There probably isn’t a limit as to how much watermelon you can eat and not worry about weight-gain. After all, watermelon …

Mark My Words — Coming back to the theater

When I was younger, I had dreams of becoming an actor.  To be honest, I had dreams of becoming a mailman, a teacher, a weatherman, sports broadcaster, a writer AND an actor.  I guess you could say I had plenty of career choices to choose from. With all those possibilities, the thought of entertaining a crowd, whether on the big …
