I mentioned in my last blog about how there is a tremendous amount of business associated with Passover. Interestingly enough, there is a great deal of post- Passover business, too.

2014 NFL Draft Big Board
With the NFL Draft a week away, it is time to finally unveil my big board. This is very different from the mock draft that I originally did. A mock […]
“Town and Country and Back Again”
I don’t know about you, but I had myself a very nice, down-home, Norman Rockwellesque type of Easter back at my family’s home in Michigan. Ham, egg hunt, family members both embraced and avoided – the whole nine yards, really. That was that, and then there were my forays into Detroit. In two days, I went […]

Spring / Summer Plans
Though I definitely feel too old for it, I’m extra grateful for spring break this year. A solid two weeks off class at just the right time – seems like everybody’s feeling the burn this time around. I’m going back to home to metro Detroit in just a couple hours, to see family, recoup, and read […]
