We are working all day. Getting out of Traverse City tomorrow and heading south down to Detroit Motor City. My birthplace. Grand River and Stout. Flying out of Detroit to a progressive Western enclave known as, “Boulder” on Sunday. Got some business to attend to there with a wintery magazine I am very proud of.
