Mackinac Bridge

(St. Ignace, MI) I took the photograph on your left while sailing on a schooner in the Straits of Mackinac last weekend. The view is from the near northwest side of the bridge, perhaps two miles from the northern coast of the Upper Peninsula.

The schooner excursion was one of the most pleasant ways to spend a few hours on a summer evening that I can recall. My wife and I traveled with my brother, my sister, and their spouses (along with a handful of other guests), and these hours on the water were among the most peaceful in my entire life.

I vow to spend more time away from work and enjoying the company of my family.
