The Graduate.

My niece Courtney graduated from high school earlier tonight. Here she is!

My Weekend.

This is a photo that was taken today. I am the guy on the left. The woman is my cousin Pam who lives in Brooklyn. The guy on the right is her boyfriend Mike.

Sad News.

My Mom called me a short time ago to tell me that my Aunt Lillian died yesterday. She collapsed shortly before dinner last night and my Uncle Don called 911. They were not able to save her. The cause of her death was a aortic aneurysm. She was 78. She was my Mom's oldest sister. Her funeral is next Wednesday in Florida. I don't know if my parents will go or not. I know this is a big loss for my Mother.

Michael Buble....Fun For The Whole Family?

This morning I ordered two more tickets for the upcoming Michael Buble concert at the Fox Theatre in Detroit (Seen in the picture I posted). My parent's 50th anniversary is on August 10th , so I thought I would do something nice for them. I got them tickets in the 2nd row of the mezzanine. I hope they like what I am doing for their anniversary (fingers crossed).

The Best Is Yet To Come?

As I had done once before , I went the fanclub route in an effort to get pre-sale tickets to an upcoming concert. I did this a few years ago to get seats for a John Mayer concert at The Palace of Auburn Hills in November of 2003. The seats weren't as close as I expected them to be. I later learned that sometimes the fanclub pre-sale tickets aren't as good as what people think they will be. Anyway , I decided to join the Michael Buble fanclub the other day so I could order pre-sale concert tickets today instead of having to wait until Friday when they officially go on sale. The show I wanted to order tickets for was the July 27th concert at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. I ended up getting two tickets. Main floor seating , Section F5 , Row S. They were the mid-priced seats. Ticketmaster wouldn't allow me to purchase the most expensive tickets. According to what I've read on Michael Buble's fanclub tour page , people are upset the pre-sale seats aren't any better than what they are. I am realizing that most of the fans in this fanclub are women. All of the comments posted about the Detroit were made by women. Anyway , I now have 2 months to find someone to go to the concert with me.

Pictures Of My Favorite Place And More.

The photos with the trees and bushes were taken on a road called Lakeshore Dr. The pictures do not do the area justice. This road runs along the Lake Michigan shoreline about 30 minutes or so South of here. It is basically like looking over the edge of a cliff and seeing the middle of Lake Michigan , eventhough there is shoreline at the bottom of the hill. I found this area by accident while searching for a wedding reception hall about six years ago. I love driving by here. It's a hidden treasure here. The picture of the waves was taken at the Allegan County park. It's a quiet little area with a small beach near Lake Michigan. The last photo is of a retired cruise ship that sits in the Saugatuck Harbor.
