In Frankfort, Michigan, this afternoon for the fall festival. Excitement is building. Can you guess what's going to happen in about 15 minutes?

It may be 80+ outside, but it's never felt better in here. Back for another year of shooting Michigan hockey for MGoBlog.

It's time to start gearing up for Tuesday's night's Pub Quiz at Sidecar Slider Bar in Sterling Heights. The fun starts at 8 p.m. Here's your weekly Social Media Clue. I'm sure there's lots of interest in this one. Just be careful not to overextend yourselves!

It's Monday, which means it's almost time for Tuesday's Pub Quiz by Sporcle at Sidecar Slider Bar in Sterling Heights. The fun gets underway at 8 p.m. I have seen the questions to this week's games and it's going to be a ton of fun. The image here is, of course, our Social Media clue. See you there!

I'm hosting Pub Quiz Trivia tonight at Sidecar Slider Bar in Sterling Heights. Come on down for an evening of fun, mind-bending questions. The action gets underway at 8 p.m. Oh, and the guy in the image. He's the social media clue for one of tonight's answers. Be sure to make the natural selection!

Max Coleman's new mural of a Kirtland's Warbler in Grand Rapids. As the kids say ...slay!

If you're in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Saturday, come down to the Pleasant Peninsula Mural Festival to see Max Coleman's Kirtland's Warbler. Max's mural is just one of several that is being installed on Pearl Street underneath the US-131 overpass. All the murals are of endangered species.

Some photos from this afternoon's Marche Nain Rouge in Detroit. I couldn't tell if it was Halloween in March, Mardi Gras or a bacchanalia.

One of the things I enjoy about shooting University of Michigan hockey games is how close I am to the action. There may be better seats at Yost, but nobody is closer. Hi, guys!

Went to the grocery store this afternoon. Surprised to find a coconut singing an aria.

And I wished I cared as much about social media as others because I keep forgetting to post images until like 16 hours after the event is over. Some images from last night's game. Coverage at mgoblog.com/content/mich...

I wish I were as good at social media (and photography) as @bluebarronphoto.bsky.social. Here's my feeble attempt: Michigan beat Michigan State in overtime last night. Maybe the best goalie in college hockey today IS human because I think I see an "Oops. Did I just blow it?" face.
