Jolly Pumpkin Ann Arbor: Where You Get Your Jollies

So, where do you get your jollies?  Why, at the Jolly Pumpkin Ann Arbor Cafe and Brewery, of course!  And what, on the menu, gave us our jollies tonight?  A couple of their finest microbrews, and their ‘Fire & Smoke’ pizza. Thin crusted with a chipotle sauce, roasted chicken, tomatoes, basil, and a sprinkling of chopped spring onions with fresh mozzarella, it was nothing short of divine!

Plus, our table on the sidewalk outside the restaurant offered great views of the street traffic and the long lines for the Taj Mahal show that was to take place at The Ark, the live music theatre directly across the street.  So, did we have a jolly good time?  We sure did!

Art, Humor, and Wisdom from Mary Engelbreit: America's Favorite Graphic Artist

I discovered Mary Engelbriet in the mid-nineties thanks to the most brightly-colored line of greeting cards I came across one day.  Soon, I began to see more than greeting cards– there were boxes and bookmarks and all kinds of small memorabilia that carried the trademark little girl dispensing wisdom and humor in unusual ways and on unexpected things– like this set of magnets that I found some years back.

Check them out– each one of them has something truly funny and profound!  All five serve the dual purpose of bringing a smile to everyone who sees them on my kitchen bulletin board (which is magnetic) and also serve to prop up important pieces of paper, notes, bills, and what-have-yous on the board.  That’s right:  I’m In Charge Here!

A Black Fawn: More Rare Than Albinos

These pictures were sent to me by a friend.  Although deer are very common in the upper midwestern part of the United States, I have never seen one of these.  I hope I will encounter one some day some where in my travels…

Pictures taken near Beamsville, Ontario, Canada

Black deer are more rare than albinos…
