Land of Cherries and Dunes

Give the cats a huge bowl of food and leave the living room light on! We're hieing ourselves hence to Traverse City for the next couple weekends.

Fortunately, the Cherry Festival has just ended. Otherwise, as I understand it, I may have developed a resentment for cherries in much the same way I resent muscle cars during the Dream Cruise, and uh... much of the rest of the year. It's what comes of living in Pontiac, or for that matter, anywhere along that acursed stretch of Woodward that is glutted with crawling, gawking cruisers for the week surrounding the event. (deep breath. *sigh*) Don't get me wrong--I appreciate classic cars. I really do. It's just J'detest the people driving them at 5 MPH wearing airbrushed t-shirts declaring, "Cruise with the best, or watch like the rest!" (in a Miami Vice color scheme).

In any case, I'm hopeful that the weather in TC will be lovely. The Boy will be working for part of the time we're there, but I fully intend to wander along the waterfront, familiarize myself with things, and read a book or two. I'm also interested in finding a few of the art galleries I've heard things about. I'm pretty sure it's not grape season yet, but it also wouldn't hurt to stop by a winery or two perhaps. hic!

Hurrah for weekending.

Has "The Boy" heard about the potential job switch yet?
