A Post Before Parting

Tomorrow I leave for seven relaxing days on the Gulf. I won't have access to email or the Internet -- which will bring sudden withdrawl symptoms, but then eventual relief. Man, we are tied to our machines.

To leave my few readers (Hi, Mom) with something new, I decided to say a little something about the book I'm reading. Jerry Dennis' book The Living Great Lakes is an incredible read. If you live in Michigan and love the lakes, you have to read this book. It's a tribute, a history, and a memoir -- all three of which are excellent. This is coming from a guy who seldom reads non-fiction. I am glued to this book, and I'm already sad at the idea that I'll probably finish it while I'm on vacation.
