I hope you have an amazing week with your maternal grandparents, Shaan. Enjoy every moment! We’ll keep the storytelling fire burning here at Scritturra, and will leave a light on, so you can find your way back upon your return!

My older brother, the one who took me to my first baseball game and was my key role model growing up(aside from Roberto Clemente, of course) also lives in Michigan (spent most of his life in a little town called Ortonville, there — he once was actually the mayor of Ortonville). I’ve always thought Michigan was a pretty cool state.
