Is there any other type of community in the UP than a small community? Ideally, I would work in Baraga/L’Anse, Marquette/Munising, or Houghton/Hancock for perhaps a 2 year stint before going back South to be with family in the Toledo area.

One thing out there that is rather impressive to me is the new electronic Rubik’s cube. Look at this.

This is a bit odd, but I would like a list of such traits. Maybe one day having them numbered on some scale of importance.

Right now, though, I think the list needs place a place to start.

Know how to mix at least 3 drinks/cocktails
Always have the materials to make those 3 cocktails on hand
Know how to cook 3 ethnically/culturally accurate dishes from scratch
Know when to call a professional/expert
Support a charity of personal sentiment
Always have a room/bed available for a traveling friend
Always have access to a decent bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers
Always be firm but fair as a guardian (over your own or others’ children)
Have breakfast made for any over night guests (or at least once a month, a big family breakfast)

As I think of them, I’ll continue to list them and work them into some sort of list. If there is anyone out there who might be “listening” to this, feel free to comment, letting me know what could be changed or added.
