Building silos was the first full time job I worked after graduating from high school. Most of the crew were heavy drinkers and racists. They didn’t like my hippie hair either.
An often unnoticed feature of every size-adjustable golf cap is the opening in the back of the hat. Ladies — or men with enough hair and the right attitude — can finagle a ponytail through it. For guys like me, the ones with little or no hair on their heads, it’s just another great opportuni…

Sunset in the Vines
TRAVERSE CITY — As the dog days of summer dwindle down, Craig Hadley’s professional life is a flurry of activity.
Booking a concert series is a lot like baking your favorite dish for a dinner party, but without a recipe. You have some idea of the ingredients and steps involved based on previous experience, but each time your measurements vary and you use a different brand of oil or flour. Sometimes you …
As young as Traverse City’s The Accidentals may be, their breadth of experience as road-tested touring veterans and willingness to showcase other Michigan artists has benefited numerous acts in recent years, from Olivia Mainville to Jake Allen.

Downtown Art Fair
EMPIRE — There’s just something about experiencing live music without being surrounded by a giant crowd.
Inland lakes are producing some bluegill, crappie and bass but you may have to fish deeper and target the weed beds when it is very hot. Walleye were caught during low light periods. Salmon are slowly starting to head towards the rivers.
Gwizdz’s gadgets
KALKASKA — You have to really want to fish the kind of places where Chuck Emmert fishes for brook trout. It’s not a walk in the park. It’s more like bushwhacking through the jungle.
The time has arrived. Lake Michigan salmon season is on — and so far it has been a story about big fish.
The Pine River has a reputation among the paddling community as one of the Lower Peninsula’s fastest, toughest rivers. Having kayaked different stretches of the river many times over the years with Traverse Area Paddle Club members, I’ll second that. It’s fast, fun and keeps you on the edge …
Antrim Creek hike
BELLAIRE — It’s been five decades since Grass River Natural Area became a nature preserve.
It is Sunday morning, and as is my habit, I have the radio in the kitchen tuned to classical IPR. As I eat my breakfast Baroque music fills the room.
Maybe you’ve done a time study at work. Or you’ve said to yourself, “I’m only going to work on the yard for an hour, then take the kids to the beach.” Or you set a goal to work out a few times a week. Consciously or unconsciously, we often are evaluating the return on investment (ROI) for our time.

MAPLE CITY — Visitors to the region can add a new must-do to their itineraries: curling.
We have entered the month of August and the sun is shining this morning as I sit writing at the desk. I am by the east window, but the wraparound porch keeps the sun from shining in the windows. It makes nice sleeping with the cool evenings.
Indian meal served Aug. 14

NORTHPORT — Boiled redskins, corn on the cob, rolls, coleslaw, cherry pie, lemonade, beer, wine and freshly caught Maine lobster — or chicken, if lobster isn’t your thing. But mainly lobster.
I woke up last week to the news that Harold Prince had died. For many I am certain this was nothing more than a news item of passing interest. However for me, it was so much more.
TRAVERSE CITY — Music has been a lifelong obsession for Chris Michels.
GRAND TRAVERSE
The new Netflix documentary “The Great Hack” begins with David Carroll, a digital media professor in the United Kingdom, asking a class of students whether they’d ever seen an ad on Facebook that convinced them their devices were spying on them, perhaps an eerie digital reference to a conver…
