NAIAS 2015

The North American International Auto Show is a tradition for Detroit, and for our family. It descends upon Cobo Hall every January, crowding my birthday for attention and forcing car buffs, auto enthusiasts, and vaguely interested drivers in southeast Michigan to take to snowy roads for a day of fiber glass, metal, and models. Actually, in recent years the human models of the slimly dressed variety have become rarer, and so have the other elaborate displays and presentations. Now it's mainly the cars speaking for themselves, and a few modern catches. This year they printed a car on a 3D printer. Chairs, too, which we got to sit in.

New this year: pictures from Calvin, too.

New Years Eve

Zingerman's! The food of the gods, apparently. And lobster, the food of the New Year.

Christmas in photos

There is so much to say about Christmas—about the family, extended and beyond, that we shared it with, and all the wonderful fun we had—that it will just be easier to say it with pictures. Otherwise, I'm likely to remain so tongue-tied over trying to say exactly the right thing, that I'll never get around to saying it at all.

It was a beautiful Christmas, one of my favorite times of the year.

1 day: Christmas Eve at Kerrytown

A tradition my family has had for as long as I can remember. Bring on Christmas!
