Every year we travel with my husband’s family to a little lake near Traverse City, Michigan. There we spend a blissful week wading in the lake, staring into the water, and searching for Petoskey stones. This is a much more fun endeavor than you might imagine, because when you find a good one, you really [...]

I am very much looking forward to my treatment in business class.
Remember that little post about my crazy-blind purchase of business class tickets? Delta has already done something I find suspicious/that is completely different from when I am a lowly coach passenger. I just got an email so smarmy I feel the need to wet-wipe [...]

That was then. This is now.
I just left an EPIC comment over at Properly Salted (new blooooog) and what the hell — might as well just recount it here.
Last year the Fremont Solstice Parade was the highlight of my year — fabulous day, great company, excellent seats front and center near the parade’s beginning. It [...]

Because, you know, I just used up all my money on the family visit. And we’re leaving again for the vacation from our vacation on Saturday. In any case, Polite Society now has an online store, and I pulled off a few things that struck my fancy. I have expensive taste.
Celeste Lace Neck Top
Ingenue Camisole [...]

i’m talking to you, fish-thrower. i’m talking to YOU.

Hello, fish-thrower guy, guy who works for the fish-throwers at Pike Place Market. You know — the ones who throw fish?
Why the hell is fish-throwing so popular? I don’t know. I guess there’s a certain pleasure in watching the jovial hijinks of your yelling, throwing brethren as the tourists crowd in three-deep with cameras and [...]

More family in town this week! I may post about where we go. Or I may not. In any case I will officially return on June 24th. Happy Solstice.

Above: sanitized for your protection
Yelp is a silly beast. It’s a review site, sort of along the lines of Trip Advisor, but it also has a social networking aspect, kind of like Meetup. But though I joined some Meetup groups upon leaving my lifelong residence of Cincinnati to trek to the Pacific Northwest a [...]
