Beaver Island Michigan

8) While going through two weeks' worth of Mt. Pleasant papers that accumulated during our time on the island, I found an article in the 8/19 Morning Sun by Joyce Braithwaite-Brickley, "Great Lakes Islands are Summer Treasures". I'm not technologically savvy enough to include a link, but s...

Actually, I'm afraid I took it the way it was intended. But, I agree, 'nuff said.

:| Is this a serious message? I very much enjoy the limited time my family and I are able to spend on the island every year, and feel as though we are quite respectful of the place and the people. We are that way at home, too. I agree with the person who wrote that there are disrespectful people eve...

For anyone who might be interested, my husband would be willing to offer fiddle lessons while we are on the island between 8/7 and 8/21. His name is Bruce Bauman, AKA Fiddleman, and some of you might have seen him at the library story hour. If I may say so, he does a great job of teaching young and ...

:?: My son (almost 11) is a huge John Mayer fan. A friend who has been known to stretch the truth and who spends more time on the island than we do told us that popular musician John Mayer visited the island during the summer of 2002 and even gave an impromptu performance at the Shamrock. Can anyon...

I liked the captioned and went to Mr. Carlin's website to try to find out more about it. According to Mr. Carlin, he didn't write the "paradoxes" and doesn't think very highly of them. (If you, too, choose to go to George's website, you will see that the previous is a bit of an understate...
