		<description>LOVE IT!  Some excellent points made.  And if you add Ron Artest, Kobe, and Bruce Bowen to your lineup, you&#039;d get a fighter, a f@#$er, and a crotch kicker to your battalion!

Intrigued to hear you&#039;re back in MI.  Maggie and Brendan are there for the summer too!  I miss Ann Arbor dearly and look forward to keeping up with your blog as a way to catch up.

Keep it coming!

Best of luck to you and the lady back in the mitten!
