If you caught my first entry, you might think that Ann Arbor is simply a University, but in fact it's a 100,000+ person community that was founded in 1824 by a Virginian and a New Yorker. I've spent nearly five hours during the past two weeks simply walking through the city, with info in hand, getting the lay of the land, enjoying the neighborhoods, and seeing the historic sites. The photos capture about 1% of what I've seen, but hopefully give a feeling for this lovely little spot. Many evenings have also been spent enjoying live music at SummerFest. While there's a handful of paid performances, this outdoor festival offers free music, six nights a week, for an entire month! I'm sorry to see it coming to a close soon. Otherwise, life goes on with dental torture, a bit of work, some house managing, training for a cycling event, a few delicious beers with a friend, and a self-imposed headache, as I start thinking of writing "the book".

So, did Summerfest not disappoint on its final celebratory day?

AMG: It most certainly did not! I spent 5 hours of the evening enjoying the finale of live music. I also realized how much more enjoyable it is outdoors! Catching up on life & work today. Enjoy the 4th! J.

Not funny! Dental torture is from an incompetent Eastern Shore dentist! PIE lives on!

Judy: Back from vacation and playing catch up with your blogs. Exhausted just reading about all you juggle. Choosing the best of all you have done the past 3 years will be a challenge,
