Near here, you once said
the llama took our bucket
a glorious day

(One of Christopher's best verbal days as a young child)

Black flies, damn black flies
you took a hot, humid day
and made it much worse

(nuff said)

Almost an island
off Pennsylvania's small reach
into the Great Lakes

(from Erie, PA)

A beautiful view
towards the radiant sunset
on peaceful Erie

(lovely sunset tonight)

Seven Ohio
lighthouses today, but missed
Poor Ashtabula

(Oh well...maybe next trip!)

In addition to the new group study rooms on the second floor, we also have added a new toupee...well, green roof! Our green roof is part of the LEED Certification for the new home for the Ross School of Business building at the Ann Arbor Campus.

Here are some pictures during the installation of the sedum on the green roof.

If you are wondering what is a green roof, the benefits include:
-Returns less water to the sewer systems - less run-off
-Kresge Library's fourth floor should be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
-Help filter pollutants and CO2 out of the air - instead of just adding heat into the environment.

Born May 20, 1946 in Oklahoma City, OK

He had the unfortunate job of following Mickey Mantle as the star of the Yankees (who followed Dimaggio, Gehrig and Ruth).

He had a great career and was (by all accounts) a great person. Just being himself.
