Where In The World Is Sum1?

Lansing, Fourth Time Round'!

Date: Week of June 11^th


Locale:  Lansing, Michigan


         This week finds me in Lansing Michigan again, and again the customer is the State Of Michigan.  I drove here again, mainly because getting decent flight times to and from Lansing from home is almost impossible.  Besides, it's only a 5 hour drive, which is about the same, or less time I'd spend in the air, on layovers, or getting to the airport initially.


         This is the same class I've taught them three times before;  they just have so many technicians that they can't all attend in just two sessions.  It wouldn't surprise me if I were to return here again for at least 3-4 more classes.

         Lansing is not that big, and there really isn't a lot here to see 'tourist' wise.  True, Michigan State University is here, the city (town) is nice, not too big.  But as  far as sights to see?  Nothing that I've found so far.  Then again, I usually get here in the evening of a day, spend the next two days teaching the class, and leave after class is done the second day.  So no real time to get out and explore much. 


Noteworthy Restaurants:


         Lansing Brewing Company          http://www.lansingbrewingcompany.com/  This is a really 'hoppin' place,very busy each time I've been there, with excellent beer and food!  Been there a couple of times now, will go again should I return to Lansing.




In Closing
         My next two classes are in Canada.  Next week will find me in Saint John New Brunswick, then I have two weeks of non-delivery time where I will work from home, and work in Schaumburg to upgrade our small Conventional Radio System.  After that, I get to visit Calgary, Alberta!  Til next time, y'all stay cool in the heat, enjoy your time, your loved ones.  And most of all, Write!
