This blog is based in Northeast Ohio, what was "La Nation du Chat," the Cat Nation, as the French-Canadian furtraders called the Land of the Erie Indians. The blog will touch on many issues: nature, the environment, literature, poetry, society, and politics. Around here we think of the Lake Erie shoreline as the North Coast of the United States--a Frontier in the midst of the Rust Belt.

Uncle Bill Coughlin
Pictured above is the last photo I took of my Uncle Bill Coughlin--taken at his daughter Jackie's house late summer of 2010 (Jackie is on his left; Joe lurking behind).
Bill Coughlin is one of the greatest men I have ever met. I love him and Aunt Kay, and all his children, my cousins, the way I love my Mom and Dad, my brothers and my sister.
The world will not see the likes of Bill Coughlin again!
