Being from Livonia, you didn't go to St. Mike's too, did you?
February 26th, 2015 at 9:50 PM ^
Yessir. I was in the very first kindergarten class ever at St. Mike's.
February 26th, 2015 at 10:04 PM ^
Wow, St. Mikes, Divine Child, then Michigan. We had similar life trajectories.
February 26th, 2015 at 10:26 PM ^
I'll say. So where's your "About Me" post so we can compare where we both ended up after school?
February 26th, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^

Interesting Fact 2: The Mantis Shrimp's two frontal appendages accelerate with the same velocity as a gunshot from a twenty-two caliber rifle.

If you are looking to become a GA in a college athletic department, let me know. I have a lot of connections in the industry, and I know of a lot of people looking to fill those type of positions.

Long story short, I once blew up a space station the size of a small moon.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:54 PM ^
Dude, I know you! You're the one who had that weird thing with your sister, right?
Sorry to blow your spot.
February 26th, 2015 at 5:02 PM ^
I didn't know, man! I didn't know. Blast it, you make ONE mistake kissing your sister and that's ALL they ever remember about you. Topple a fascist government, blow up a space station (or two) and all I get is, "you're the guy who kissed his sister."
total bantha fodder.
February 26th, 2015 at 5:25 PM ^
Don't worry about it, could happen to anyone.
On an unrelated note, were you bummed when college football adopted overtime in 1996, and was 1992 your favorite Michigan football season of all time?

... the semi-anonymity of this blog. I'm sure some of my best friends are on this blog, and it's kinda fun knowing they are here, commenting, but not knowing what their handles/avatars are. I'll keep it that way, but I will share this.
My best memories are from college or with people I met at Michigan. It's a time and experience I will cherish forever. This blog, in a small way, offers me a window into that part of my life. For that I'm grateful.

Unionville is a skip from me. I usually go through Unionville on my way to Caseville. You won't recognize the area if you haven't been up here in awhile.

They have been building wind turbines from Reese to Ubly. Within the last 2 years we have had 140+ built. Other then that the cow has moved from the corner that you use to turn. So you may have to use GPS to get around. That would be breaking news from around here.

Oh, I thought your avatar was Jennifer Anniston.
And no, I'm not Justin Verlander nor Spike Albrecht.
February 26th, 2015 at 7:47 PM ^
Took me a second to get the Justin & Spike reference. Which reminds me of three things:
- That's both an attractive and appropriate avatar. Always liked it.
- With the user name "East German Judge," I'm surprised your avatar isn't Katarina Witt.
- One of these days, I'm going to change my avatar slightly (to another pic of my better half.)

Name: Lorne
City: Born in Dearborn, raised in Northville and Saline, living in Romulus, MI
High School: Saline, MI (Class of 1996)
Undergraduate: See MGoHandle
Graduate: MBA, Eastern Michigan
HS Mascot: Hornets
Sports: For my school itself, none. In other leagues, baseball for many years.
Hobbies: Reading, modding this blog, music production, movies (watching and being in), various games of strategy (huge fan of anything Hoyle, if you will), podcasting, anything Michigan related, among others.
Fun fact: I was a published author twice over by the time I was 21 years old, not counting numerous articles in various then-fledgling Internet publications. The fact that you have no idea who I am and know that I have a normal-type job speaks volumes to the success of this endeavor.

Did we just becomebest friends?
February 26th, 2015 at 7:46 PM ^
It rather depends. If you went to school here sometime through the 70s-early 2000s, you may very well have known of my mother if not actually had her as a English teacher in the middle school here. There is at least one person on the board who in fact has had my mother as a teacher at some point. Small world indeed.
