Hi Karen – I’ve never been to Gourmet Wok. I’ll let my folks know that it’s good. We’re always looking for new places to eat in Flint.
I’m allergic to nuts, so I’m not supposed to have Chinese food at all. Since I grew up with Cantonese Gourmet, I know they won’t kill me.

Belfast was spooky back in the bad old days. There was a bombing at the IRA office a block from where I stayed. I got out of there asap and went up to lovely Rathlain Island where there are puffin nests!
By the way, how was lovely Belfast on holiday?
Hi Erica! Have you ever had anything at Gourmet Wok on Bristol Road in Flint? It is yumm-o!

Georgian Bay? Like in the parenthetical part of the title of that Gordon Lightfoot song?
Rikhei: Hooray for the Lake Effect!
brenda: I’m so glad she liked Clan Apis! The author has done graphic novel that I haven’t read yet – If you read it let me know!
amy: The I.T. Crowd used to be available online for free, but it seems to have been taken down. You can still get them in full from any bitorrent site. Boing boing has a good rundown of the show and how to watch it.
Where can I see/purchase The I.T. Crowd? I’ve heard about it and have seen a few clips. I need full episodes!
I just wanted to thank-you on your post about graphic novels for Mimi Smartypants. I got Clan Apis for my eight year old daughter and she read it in less then an hour, and has read it again, and again. We only got it two days ago from the library. I know now we will be buying it.
I have the other ones on hold. Except Pogo Possum, the library did not have it in it’s system.
Thank you again! Bren
Frank’s! I need to go there next time I’m in Ann Arbor. (Did I mention I’ve moved to Grand Rapids?)
