Carnivore Dreams- Detroit Lions

I don't seem to know how to hyperlink anything anymore. It's a busy day so just posting a fun link about my Lions' Jamaal Williams letting them have it for disrespecting us. Fun game. Packers are whining today. Too bad the Rams couldn't pull out that game for us. I usually have another team I …

Carnivore Dreams – The Love-Charr

This is an excerpt from a story first published in Gray's Sporting Journal and will soon be anthologized again in a collection of Upper Peninsula fishing stories (though it's a love story). If you want to read it and a lot of other stories you can purchase Seasonal Roads on Amazon--published by Wayne State University, …

Carnivore Dreams – Diet Update

January in upper lower Michigan (as opposed to the Upper Peninsula). We hang with the trolls these days. This post is primarily diet related. As many will be. I know many of you are thinking about diet right now. And I know you are expecting this post to be about losing weight. But my New …

Carnivore Dreams – Merry Christmas

Before the blizzard: Now we can barely see out the windows let along get outside. Been blizzarding here since Thursday night. Whitest Christmas I can remember. Maybe more photos tomorrow when it slows some. My Lions sucked. Everybody else lost who needed to and Lions just sucked. Typical. Didn't make my Christmas Eve. But tomorrow …

Carnivore Dreams – Dad, Mom and Substack Part II

Dad above on the Badger Ferry from Ludington to Green Bay. Strange these writing cues seem to be popping up on WordPress here and strange it says to talk about my father or father figures--my father's good friend just passed away last night (my father passed in June). Mom: (Dad at end but Mom at …

Carnivore Dreams-Early Christmas and Substack

We celebrated Christmas this last weekend this year since my daughter switches off Christmas/Thanksgiving each year with her husband's family. This was our Thanksgiving year, so we had our Christmas early with our kids. It was nice, of course, and nobody was sick. Aways nice. I've been pondering how I'll handle my new Substack site. …

Carnivore Dreams – Substack

In case you are interested in following me on substack, here's a link. Maybe copy and paste -- I may post things on both sites for a while, see how things go on Substack. Happy Sunday, folks. Go LIONS. https://lekimball.substack.com/publish/post/91510415

Carnivore Dreams -Holiday Plans

I've been gathering my bearings the last few months. Celebrating the holidays seemed the best way right now to do that. It may seem I'm not working, but I AM working into working into working: I've been asked to contribute a story or two to an anthology on fishing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (they only …

Carnivore Dreams – Who ARE these people?

Who ARE these people? In my home state of Michigan, they voted to legalize abortion with no limits (supposedly limits except the physical or MENTAL health of the mother--right--that's no limits), voted to eliminate voter ID or any verification to vote--conservatives will never win another election here. MONTANA refused to protect the life of a …

Carnivore Dreams – Blood Moon and New Omens

Perched. It feels like we're perched on a precipice. Is the red moon a harbinger of things to come --or it IS. It definitely IS. But is a good omen or a bad one? I wrote a story once about how it was impossible to tell good circumstances from bad. When something good happens, it …
