Krampi teats

I’m told that there may be photo of me on the AnnArbor.com site tomorrow, milking a Krampus teat into a beer mug. I’m not saying it didn’t happen. It could have. I don’t know. Due to my cold, I’d eaten a number of honey lemon cough drops with echinacea, and, to be honest, the whole […]

Watch out for the puppet Mark!

I was sitting at the bar at Haab’s a few weeks ago, enjoying a beer, when thickly-bearded local troubadour Patrick Elkins sidled up alongside me and whispered in my ear that, at that very moment, a crew was assembled at the Dreamland Theater, busily working on a “Mark Maynard puppet.” Or, he may have said […]
