So I actually did something yesterday. I went to a lacrosse game with my buddy Katie and Alexa. It was fun, I guess. I had no interest in the two teams playing, so that helps to dampen the excitement. I basically went because Katie coaches the South Lyon middle school lacrosse team and they were at the South Lyon high school playoff game and he asked me to go.
After that we all went to Sidetrack in Depot Town to see an old friend from Circuit City who now lives in Minna-snow-ta. That was definitely cool. I hadn't seen her since a wedding in September. I also saw a few more friends from the Circuit City days. That made the night even better. No crazy stories to relate from these excursions (aside from more proof that Katie might be gay...but I can't be sure).
Never drink Frog Island beer. It's horrible. Maybe it's made with water from the Huron River. Which is probably unsafe due to the high E. Coli content found throughout the watershed area. Which is the main reason Ann Arbor residents have to boil their water more often than other residents of SE Michigan. The ever-special Ann Arborites get their water from the Huron River while the rest of us get it from the Detroit River. (Don't get me wrong. The Detroit River probably isn't much better.) The main difference between the two rivers is the number of dams. These dams back up the water flow along the river, causing standing pools of water that breed E. Coli. It's disturbing. I also would not eat fish caught from the river. Swimming through that stuff can't make the fish a very healthy meal.
I love the Huron River. But don't make me drink its water.
Grilling is a treat. Don't do it in the winter. Asshole.
I found I might be going camping for the 4th of July. I'm excited. I've never been camping and I get to see some great friends I haven't seen for some time.
I'm currently reading a book by former Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly. It's called Hate Mail From Cheerleaders. It's a great book. It's just a collection of 100 of his favorite columns. After reading one called "Nothing but Nets" I decided to donate some money to a cause. This is extremely unlike me. (Please read the article. It's only about 800 words.) See, I usually feel slightly motivated to do something to help someone else but I never follow through. This time I did and I feel pretty good about it. Sometimes helping someone is worth it.
NEW (as of May 27): I'm an idiot. Now the "Nothing but Nets" link actually works. Sorry

What's wrong with grilling in the winter?
Because it's a treat that should be relegated to summer. A treat is only a treat if you can't have it all the time. It's like clementines. If they were in season all the time they wouldn't be as good.
Grilling is not a treat because you should only do it in the summer time. It's a treat because it's a pain in the ass to do and takes a long time so you only bother to do it once in a while. And I think that once in a while could include the winter months if you feel so inclined.
one of the pictures in your e.coli article was taken by a honey creek parent!

Kaatz got it and I tried it. It was some amber Frog Island beer. I'm not sure if there was more to the name. It just left a horrible taste in my mouth.
