Just like Thanksgiving weekend, I’m going to be spending a good chunk of time in Illinois. I leave tomorrow (Wednesday) to head to DeKalb, IL (Northern Illinois University) for work. I’m going to my parents for a couple days then to Champaign, IL (Univeristy of Illinois) for another job. I’ll be back in Lansing Sunday to pick J up and head back to Chicago late Tuesday night…since I have another job in Champaign the Sunday after Christmas, we won’t be back until late Sunday or early Monday…which means Mid-Michigan reviews will probably drop off until the last few days in December.
As always, I’ll blog about where I eat while I’m gone and I’ll try to keep up to date on the Michigan smoking ban and any other Mid-Michigan news that pops up.
In the meantime, I just want to say thanks for following along in 2008. Things have slowed down in recent weeks because we’re feeling the effect of the weak economy like everyone else. When we moved here in April, I never thought I’d be out of a full time job this long. Things have worked out for us due to my freelance work which used to be a supplemental income instead of a primary. Hopefully things work out in 2009 and we can continue exploring everything Michigan has to offer. We’ve had a lot of fun traveling and exploring our new home. I hope you’ve enjoyed following along and continue to visit Mid-Michigan Dining

Merry Christmas and The Very Best for 2009 to you!
Though we are also affected by the economic crisis, there are many who are very much worst off than us. Let us spare a thought for them:

Hope you have a safe trip.
We will be heading to Central Illinois (Mattoon) next Tuesday ourselves.
I appreciate all the work you put into the blog and find it quite enjoyable.
One question.
Do you shoot stills or video?
