My Big Fennville Foray, or debriefing the not so hot date for dinner in the country.

J, I adore Fennville, but nobody knows how to find it or easily
imagines its charms. And then you suggest this out of the blue. So, de
nada.

I am not in love with your father's driveway, and I wanted to back out
quickly, but there's little light and a narrow path and those orange
painted poles. Plus, there's the added drama of making certain you
arrive at Strawberry Point on time.

As for the April event, I think we were both noting the two courses of
fish, so I wonder if we'll sit this one out. There's a lot to pick and
chose from when it comes to wine and dine ideas.

I have reflected upon the charcuterie table, where I selected one of
each item. Was I being a gourmand attempting an educational experience
or a glutton overloading a plate? I don't mind a few gentle comments
in this area, and I quite prefer you to Judith Martin or Miss Manners.
I think a brilliant solution showed up on the table of a couple in the
adjacent room. The two men found a larger plate and set upon it a
selection of tapas to share. Despite my offish attempt to make humor,
are you aware that I have a cherished brother in law who is a scholar
of the early Christian saints and has shared a home with my brother
for decades?

As for the police office, wasn't he pointed in direction of Jack's
entrance? I have observed a car there several times, and in fact, a
Spring Lake police cruiser once followed me up US 31 after departing
Jack's, and turned off, realizing he was pursuing a false positive.
He's after bigger game than people exceeding the speed limit by 5 or
10 miles per hour, I believe, the hapless drunk driver. As you might
have noticed by now, I'm never "riding dirty", and you probably have
that song on your iPhone, being a chanteuse of many tunes.

Now we need a suitable, beautiful example of sheet metal for you to
demonstrate your "daughter of a race car driver" driving skills. I
once consulted at a stamping plant that still had dies for the T-Bird
and the Model T, so it's always sheet metal for me when it comes to
automobiles.
