Michele's Musings

It's been a long time, so we have a lot to catch up on!
First-- Mitchell's 5K Run was just great-- huge turnout, perfect weather, and 73-thousand dollars raised for research for a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy!
Last week's Back Story was actor Rainn Wilson, who is HILARIOUS! My photographer that day, Matt Duwe, is a huge fan of his, so it was a fun interview. Check out Rainn's new movie "The Rocker"!
I don't know what to watch on TV, now that the Olympics are over! Did you see Rockford native Dathan Ritzenhein run the marathon last night? He finished in 9th place, right in front of Ryan Hall, and gave the United States a pair of top-10 finishers for the first time since 1976! Yeah, Dathan! He's going to be hanging out with family in Michigan for awhile, so maybe I can catch up with him before he goes back to Oregon.
The biggest reason I've fallen behind on my blog is that I'm in what my friend Marilyn calls 'a mourning period"-- I knew taking Brandon to Michigan State was going to be tough, but WOW this has been really hard. I'm not worried about him at all-- he loves it so much already! And I'm happy for him, and so proud-- I just miss him. So there. 'Nuff said, as Producer Pantaleo would tell me.
Shopping seems to help-- I may single-handedly be putting West Michigan's economy back on track!
On the opposite end of the spectrum, my 5 year old goes to Kindergarten next week!
More tears, more whining (yes, from me-- she's all ready to go!)
I'll be back on my game soon- I promise!!
See you at ten!!
