    It’s snowing in Ypsilanti

    It’s snowing in Ypsilanti…and I am overjoyed. Happy beyond all reason. I get like a little kid every time the first real snow of the season falls (just ask my wife or former co-workers). It’s snowing steadily right now, only two days past Halloween, and that familiar blanket of white is back again – steadily, slowly descending on us.

    That right there is one reason why I’ll always love Michigan: I love the change of the seasons too much, as summer fades into autumn and then winter quietly wraps the mitten in its embrace. When spring comes, I’ll be ready for it…but right now, I’m watching the snow fall.

    Oh, and I’m also listening to Christmas music, getting in the mood to record a Van Loo family Christmas record in the next weeks leading up to Christmas. Can’t wait!

    Kristine Mucher for Ypsi District Library Board!

    Apologies for the blatant politicking here, but I had to drop a link to my former neighbor, Kristine Mucher, who’s running for a spot on the Ypsilanti District Library board. Kristine has a great blog going that clearly communicates her stance and ideas, and it’s excellent to see a candidate using this blogging medium to not only communicate but also solicit ideas. I think she’ll be a great asset to the YDL, one of my favorite community gathering places in Ypsilanti.
