Tim Hortons Arrives in Romeo
When they first started building on the corner of M-53 & 32 Mile Road I hoped that they would either open a Starbucks or Tim Hortons at that location. The latter was realized this week. For those outside of the upper Midwest or eastern Canada, Tim Hortons is a donut and coffee chain co-founded by…

Nothing. If it doesn’t change how you use your car, $4.05 gas means nothing to you. I had this thought as I picked up a cup of coffee this morning at a local gas station and watched people belly up to the pump to offload some cash. I actually hope it hits $5 or $7…

Figure Skating vs. Ice Hockey
In nearby Plymouth, Michigan the local government is discriminating against figure skating. That is, according to some angry moms. The story is that the local government has decided that since hockey pays 300% what figure skating pays for ice time, they are creating more time for ice hockey. [news story] A couple of thoughts.

My prayer for Romeo
I thought it would be good to let everyone know my prayer for Romeo. I know this isn’t a new song or a new twist or even a new video for anyone in the Romeo family. But I’ve been listening to this song and watching this video a lot lately. Will you join me in…
