14 years ago, Greta and I decided to visit the town of Munger, Michigan, along with 8-month-old Jimmy. It wasn’t much more than a few houses on the side of the road, but it’s cool to have a road sign named after you:

Yes, that’s me, without the beard. Jim is approximately 1/8 his current size. Unfortunately, we missed the Munger Potato fest by a few days.

Jon’s bar was closed that day (I think it was a Sunday), so we couldn’t even get T-shirts.

However, it turns out the Munger Potato Fest is alive and well, 14 years later! They even have a web site! Unfortunately, we won’t be able to make the Potato Fest this year, but it’s neat to see that it’s still going on — and possibly a bigger event than it was back in 1992.
