Detroiters Carry On

Ok, so I'm new to this whole blog thing. It's been 5 minutes and my wife is already making fun of me for having a blog. So I woke up this morning and did my usual routine; feed the cat, had some breakfast, and watched a little news. It's a Sunday so I'm usually up a minimum of 2 hours before Kat gets up. She loves her beauty rest. Lately I've been consumed with the local news, in the paper and on tv. As a Michigander, owning a home, working in the public sector, you can't help but be cocerned about what's going on in the world, and even more so in our state. So I started reading the Free Press and on the front page was an article from Mitch Albom about his recent work he did for Sports Illustrated. The article in the Free Press was titled "Detroiters Carry On." In this article Mitch talked about how important it was being given the opportunity to write an article for a national periodical about the city of Detroit, and the state of sports in the city. My initial thought when I started reading the article was that it was going to be a sports article, I couldn't have been more wrong. This article made me go through every emotion known to man, and it would stick in the mind throughout the day, and to this very moment writing this blog entry. To be continued....
