MY REFRIGERATOR MAGNET-AN HOMAGE---

  • My new, lovely parting gift for all parties.

TO THE MASTER-JUDGE KAYE TERTZAG

  • Judge Kaye Tertzag is one of my heroes. One of the first facilitators, he would give out these refrigerator magnets at his hearings. Though the Judge died in 2009, I still have this magnet on my refrigerator 10 years later. Judge Tertzag and I did not agree on some very big political issues, but he was the professional embodiment of his 3Ps: Be Prompt, Be Prepared, Be Polite.

Detroit GT


  • Detroit GT is the website of artist Christopher Gorski. A lifetime Detroiter and certified "Car nut", he studied at the premiere College of Art and Design in Detroit - the Center for Creative Studies (CCS). One hand drawn shirt in high school has grown into a full line of apparel and merchandise celebrating Detroit and other uniquely Michigan locales.

    His Detroit Landmark graphic art pieces are remarkable. Some are shown below, and I have 8 of them framed on my office walls (see blog post).

    The prints can be purchased through the site or at my favorite store, Art Is In Market in Laurel Park Place in Livonia.

MY "CV"

Blackadder goes forth

As readers (if any) of this blog may understand, I am not a huge fan of the kind blatant self promotion.  In fact, a new feature, "Self Promotion Apocalypse" will soon grace this site.

I think the perfect response to those who try to impress with their credentials and accomplishments was delivered in 1989 by Rowan Atkinson (center in the picture above), in his role as Capt. Edmund Blackadder, in the BBC One series, Blackadder Goes Forth.

With a little editing by yours truly, here it is:

"I, on the other hand, am a fully rounded human being, with a degree from the University of Life*, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks**, and three gold stars from the Kindergarten of Getting the Shit Kicked Out of Me***."

*Cum laude

**Bigly cum laude

***Board certified
