A Week With Family
Posted on 10th July, 2005 at 5:04pm by joel
A sailboat enjoys a fantastic day on Lake Avalon, Michigan
In an effort to relax, unwind, and refresh myself before starting my new job, I did some traveling with my mom and brother.
As far as I am concerned, there isn’t a place on earth nicer than my mom’s parents’ cottage on Lake Avalon in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula in Michigan. Grammy and Papa bought the little log cabin almost 30 years ago and they, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren have been enjoying it ever since. I hadn’t been there in two years, and a visit was long overdue.

All good things must come to an end. Mitigating these sad endings are the prospects of a happier, better beginning.
On Friday, June 24th, I went home from Curtis Marketing Group for the last time. After over four years of employment for Mark and Susan, the time had come for me to move on.

I made a whole pile of CSS updates to the site this afternoon, most—but not all—of which were to the “capri” theme. If you see anything funky that a refresh doesn’t fix, post about it quick-like in the comments and let me know. Thanks much!

The Saint John’s Bible is going to be one of the most spectacular artistic and spiritual works ever created when it is finished. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is showing the in-progress piece and had a special CSB|SJU Alumnae/i event on Thursday.
Every once in a while, I encounter a piece of art that makes me gasp in amazement and stand transfixed by the incredible beauty and unbelievable skill necessary to create such a work.
