ahhh... my brother just bought a place up that way... will have to go visit soon

my old stompin' grounds were further south... near South Haven Pete and family are wise to go to Sleeping Bear Dunes

How many people have heard of this city. I've lived here all my life and kind of take it for granted. It just needs a mountain in the background and it would be perfect here!

I grew up in Ingham/Eaton County area, but got up that way occasionally... had recently been thinking about going back to Michigan but I'm kinda lost right now and not sure where to end up

He'll still get a spot in the admin, though.

I hope Pete has a place in the administration.

But Mayor Pete would make a great S. of State because he is very smart and speaks about 200
different languages. Besides having an out loud and proud married gay man who goes to church
would make lots of right wing heads explode.
