Lions 19 Redskins 14 The 19 game losing streak is over. The Detroit Lions beat the Washington Redskins today at Ford Field in Detroit. Of course the game didn't sell out, so no one in the city actually saw it because it was blacked out locally by the NFL. But the bottom line is, we finally won,

If you live in the Detroit area and have followed the Detroit Tigers at all, you grew up listening to Ernie Harwell on the radio. Some of my best memories are of Ernie describing Al Kaline, Denny Mclain and Willie Horton in the sixties to Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker and Kirk Gibson in the eightie

Last week my wife and I went to the Michigan State Fair. It is actually one of the longest running state fairs in the country, over 150 years. We don't go every year but read that this is the last year for it, and since one of our fondest memories is sitting through a Journey concert in a downpou

Back in September I wrote a post about the end of my Treo 650. I put up with the dropped calls, broken bluetooth radio and other shortcomings for a couple more months before I had to switch. Our local Best Buy made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I was eligible for an upgrade and they were offerin

One of the highlights of the summer in Detroit, The Grand Prix races on Belle Isle have been canceled for 2009. The announcement said they will try to hold the 2010 race but given the economic climate in Michigan I have my doubts it will back anytime soon. This event brings a lot of money to the
