if we want to talk about youth vs experience, by the time I was 33, I had already been in charge of a combined $2.1 billion set of budgets for all postsecondary education in Michigan, and then the deputy executive of the public university coordinating board in Michigan

The same couple that we spent that spring with virtually hanging out in Animal Crossing and touring their museums were the couple we got to see first after we all got an early vaccine. Rented a cabin up north, wandered in an old growth forest, bubbled in a hot tub - it was stunning
What's a charming memory you have from the worst period of the pandemic?

Today is as worse a day in college football as it has been for some time:
-MSU is deader than James Garfield
-We've lost all momentum, all trophies, and the P4 coaching market is unhinged
-We don't even get Penn State for our forced rivalry that started to work
-I have to cheer for Ohio State

I live in the capital of MI with two GM plants in town. My dad was a car guy his whole life. I do not get the obsession with luxotrucks, even after riding in them
Our 2013 Chevy Volt ($12K) and 2012 Prius ($14K) are doing just fine for all the hauling we do across the state, thank you
