January 2019

Brandi and I attended the North American International Auto Show Charity Preview this year, with Rich and Michelle Clarke. We started the evening at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Party, rode the people mover to the show, then returned to the David Whitney for dinner. It was a good reason to dress up, pull out the tuxedo and coats, and hobnob with the society of Detroit. The champagne is legendarily average, but the party handing out bedroom slippers to the women who attended was a really good idea. It was just nice to get out for an evening with good food and friends.

His birthday was relatively quiet as we recovered from the Christmas holiday. He got a Toledo Walleye jersey, which is kinda cool, but not his passion, either. (Dad thinks it's cool.)

Nick and I took a Saturday trip to Cleveland, visiting the Crawford Museum where they had a Radwood display this month (Radwood originated in California as an event for vehicles from the 80's and 90's.) There was a small war plane display as well, although not enough for Nick. An adjacent museum has an excellent collection of content from WWI, which was impressive. We followed-up the museum with pizza at Citizen Pie, and ice cream at Mitchell's.

Few pictures from here in January.
