Three Days At Lakeside—Mental Health Respite

It's been an insane two weeks, both for myself and my wife Ellen. Our business is booming...our work is well-received...and we are stressed to-the-max (and at each others throats!).

Ellen surprised me the other night, booking a room at the Hotel Lakeside for Memorial Day. Lakeside (near Marblehead & Sandusky, OH) is perhaps the most serene place ON EARTH (...well, atleast from what I know...).

We drove down Sunday night, through a dark, intense lightning storm, which broke before reaching Sandusky. The red skies in the distant sunset fortold of beautiful days to follow. And it has been a "sailor's delight".

Tonight, I'm going to try and prove a local legend about a wandering spirit in the second floor halls of Hotel Lakeside— armed with my iPhone, we'll see what's in store for this amateur paranormal sleuth!
—[UPDATE, Tues. 1:43am: I spent 10-30 mins on the 2nd floor, roaming the length of the floor...aside from my imagination and pings of anticipation—no perceptible ghosts to report. Better luck next time.]


It's been a wonderful couple nights, with another whole day still ahead. Thank GOD for Lakeside, Ohio...and for my wife and daughter. I'm truly blessed.
