I know I missed a coulple of meaty blog days… I was up in northern Michigan at my mother’s and as it turns out…Sprint Service doesn’t seem to work up there in the sticks. I had a fun visit but most of the time I kept glancing at my palm pilot/cell just hoping it would *suddenly* work. That never happened… I couldn’t get email or get online and it felt like I was walking around without arms.

Speaking of missing body parts….Mom lives in a part of Michigan that looks that they shot the movie *Friday the 13th* at… and me without my hockey mask

I took little phone video clips but I’m not able to post until I get back to Hollyweird…will be sure to post those soon.

Dead deer in the middle of dark roads…. wild animals… dirt roads…it’s pretty spooky stuff to a city slicker. I’m just amazed at the amount of land the dollar gets there specially compared to the overly-priced shoe box I live in. I’ll tell more about that visit when I post the pictures and am able to type on my laptop rather than this *Treo Thumb Typing*.

Speaking of Treo Typing… I need to stop and get some sleep. Not sure how much I’ll be updating the blog while here but I’ll try if I get some spare time.

I’m staying with my friends Jeff and Mary along with their two little girls Emily and Grace who are so cute…. it’s trippy how fast the gals are growing. Eventually they will all be older than I am but for now the oldest is in 3rd grade …they seem to like this time of year with Halloween and all.

I’m not sure if i’m going to be able to make the cider mill this trip but I’ve still got some time left.

ok…I better post this before I start getting more emails asking me if i’m alive.
