July 16 Update

Family News

The boys have been at Camp Birkett this week. A bus picks them up in Ann Arbor and drives them to the camp, which is in Dexter. They stayed overnight there last night - they slept in their sleeping bags in the Art Lodge. They had fun, but by the end of the week, they were both pretty exhausted.

Last weekend, we went to the Ann Arbor Observer party at the Top of the Park, and tried food from several Ann Arbor restaurants and markets. It was all great, and the kids even tried some new things. The Bugs Beddow Band was there and they were terrific – we have heard of them before, but had never seen them in person.

The Ann Arbor Art Fairs start on Wednesday of next week. We’ll pick a day to go, depending on the weather. On Monday before the fairs start, there is a “Townie” party in the same mall as the Top of the Park activities, with food, music, and a kid’s art fair. Some kids display their art, and some sell it as well. We have enjoyed seeing the art from the kids, and they expect about 70 entrants this year.

This is an odd website, but the more you look at it, the more neat it gets.

If you're roughly my age, you remember the song "Cars" by Gary Numan. Here he is, playing his song in an odd way.

I really, honestly want one of these. Any flavor. I'm not convinced they exist, but I want one.

Lots of neat maps are at this site. I found this via Edward Tufte’s “Ask E.T.” website.

Fun Simpsons animation guidelines/ideas.
