Dateline: Northeastern Indiana
Date: Friday, September 26, 2008
The scene: Inside a 2005 Prius, motoring toward metropolitan Indianapolis for a pre-arranged golf date with a couple of chums.
While on what ended up being a very long road trip for a weekend getaway, this non-correspondent stopped for gas and a quick lunch somewhere in the wilds of northeastern […]

This non-weather report is brought to you by the Bead Show recently held at the Rock Financial Showplace. No, it’s not really, but you knew that coming in. This weather report is, however, fashionably late, all dressed up in a tuxedo, of course.
Weather Report: Hurricane Ike
This intrepid non-reporter was thousands of miles […]

Dateline: Internet
This week heralded the much anticipated return of the Stickman to the portals at GNN. Said somewhat non-correspondent managed to write two articles in two days, and vows (threatens) to write something every day for the foreseeable future.
As a result, this non-editor is breathing a sigh of relief. She was getting worn down from […]

Dateline: Southeastern Michigan
During the month of August, the area was treated to ONE, count ‘em, ONE rainstorm.

There is late word this morning that […]

This non-correspondent lives!

We decided to take the freeway through the Rockies, as it is decidedly faster than the […]

There was thunder, there was lightning.
Monsoonal rain fell last night. It was scary.
I’m so glad I wasn’t standing outside in it.

This non-correspondent reports that launch time of the Road Trip to College, scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, is still on schedule. This, despite the fact that the incoming college freshman took off with her car and her boyfriend and all of the dorm room provisions are still stacked by the […]

1. Must fall from sky, not other way around.
2. Must be wet.
3. Must be substantial enough to soak what it touches.
1,893,647 drops of water in a minute and a half does NOT constitute rain.

This non-correspondent wishes to report that she is back in the editorial saddle, after completing three weeks of hard, manual labor.
Tasks completed include planting a vegetable bed, re-filling a half dozen color bowls with new flowers and foliage, weeding, grass cutting and slinging rocks from one side of the yard to the […]
