Fiona Rowe, via e-mail from Cambridge UK, informed me this morning that her company – Pegasus Publishers – wants to publish my book Lost in the Ozone …Again! The Commander, his Boys, and Me. 50 years and Counting. This very personal memoir traces this iconic band and its members from their beginnings in UofM 60sContinue reading “TMF!”

too much?
A week ago marked 5 years since George W. Frayne IV (a.k.a. Commander Cody) ascended to the outer Ozone. He was 77. He’d been unable to tour for over 2 years, his last gig at Chan’s in Woonsocket Rhode Island. I meant for this post to go out that same day, but my screen crashed and I onlyContinue reading “too much?”

Sorry, but this is a boring bit of using WordPress as a file systems. I like to have a copy of my CV attached to a URL for the times I wish to share it. Here’s the September 2024 version: https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:1a30003a-a34e-32a8-9054-dd7b43bc80e0
the tyranny of game day
Ann Arbor is a different place on game day. The 110,000-faithful headed to the Big House take up a lot of space, from bars and restaurants and parking spots to simple space on streets leading to the game. It wasn’t much of a surprise when Kathy and I were making wedding arrangements in 1986 – we wantedContinue reading “the tyranny of game day”
stroke: room for improvement?
Come next month, I’ll have not seen a patient for 5 years. But those questions coming in from friends and relatives can still jog this old medical brain. A couple weeks back, Ron, who’s a distant cousin, good friend, and husband of much missed Barb (1), a nurse who used to field most of his medical queries,Continue reading “stroke: room for improvement?”
Robbie!
For my 72nd birthday, my sweetie pointed the Jeep east to head for Lake Orion, an hour and a half drive from here. This town, in the far north ‘burbs of Dee-troit, near Pontiac, is pocked by many little lakes that many live around. They’re nice lakes, too. Bob Seger lives less than 20 miles from the Lake OrionContinue reading “Robbie!”

Firefly
Here ya go folks. Plop this in and play it (or at least click on the links)(1)*. It’ll make you happy and I sense we all need more of that kind of thing. You’ll be hearing what Kathy and I heard at every Friday happy hour at the Firefly Club in the 90s. It was wonderful. The proprietress ofContinue reading “Firefly”
“peas and news”
The beauties of fresh live things coming together in the farmers markes. Include brand new things just waiting for each other. Those potatoes just barely out of the box(“new potatoes”) whereas peas from the pod are also “new”. Awaiting is a nice fish, available from the freezer at the market. And voila, we got “peas and newContinue reading ““peas and news””
