I guess there’s a certain moment in every American’s life when he or she knows he or she is getting older. There comes a point in time when all the pretending in the world won’t keep you hip, or cool, or of the younger-generation. It has nothing to do with gray hair. Little to do […]
Not too long ago I wrote of the schizophrenic feline that prowls the dark and dreary dwelling, commonly known as Casa de Rush. That cat is Thomas and I don’t think he’s right in the head. I’ve written on the carnage of his youth. How, as a relatively young kitty, one night, as darkness fell, […]
I wanted to get this out as early as possible . . . it’s not really written in the “Don’t Rush Me Don” style you all know and love . . . it’s actually a story that will come out in next week’s paper. But, I think you’ll all enjoy it regardless of the style […]

By Don Rush This past summer Riva Campbell answered the knock on her door — and got taken on a ride that lasted for months. Door-to-door solicitors canvassed the area, including Cambell’s Lake Orion Village neighborhood this past June. ‘There was a girl and a guy, they were selling magazine subscriptions,?

Whilst thinking about Thanksgiving and blessings for a column last week, my mind kept working. Which for me is kinda amazing. Letting my mind work is something I don’t ask of it. But, work it did. As a matter of factuality, on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I was up and writing at 4 in the […]
Sometimes life is circular in motion — just ask Tiffany Turnbull. For 30 years, Revere’s Mexican Restaurant was a favorite destination for residents of Oxford and Orion.
