I have a confession to make. I have been told by more than a few Lansing people over the years that King Ferry Hotel has good food, especially their Friday fish fry. Until this year (January to be exact), I had never taken a moment to step foot in there and follow their friendly advice. What my husband and I found was a fine collection of culinary talent combined with the grace and warmth of old-fashioned ‘hospitality’. Distilled to its essence you find quality: fresh delightful tastes, good value, and excellent service. I regret the years of lost opportunity. The King Ferry Hotel is situated at the crossroads of Routes 34B & 90. It was originally built in the late 1820’s, suffered serious fire damage, and was rebuilt to its present configuration around 1840. Anne and Pat Miller found this charming old building for sale some 13 years ago and concluded it was the perfect place to establish a restaurant. As part of their commitment to the community, they have used only local craftsmen and laborers. The Miller’s, originally from the Aurora area, now live in Lansing with their three lovely children: Patricia-13, Margot -8, and Lansing-6. Every member of their family works in the business in some manner, whether it is creating entrees, flipping burgers, mixing dough, waiting tables, or managing the finances.

GO JUMP IN THE LAKE: Please don’t take this personally. The staff of William Safire Hall, the general care facility the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, would just like you to have the extra satisfaction of insulting people properly.
One point of the last Samuel Bacon Lecture was that to jump in a lake, you must first wade into it. Therefore, you must say, “Go jump into the lake.” Otherwise, you invite a debate on syntax, if the insultee is as smart as thee.
Similarly, you don’t get on the plane. Who would want to? Please get into the plane.

SMART TALK
By Dr. Clark Chousie
GLAZED OVER: Sometimes, I go down the road to Los Bebedors and sample lectures at Bedspring Tech. By listening for bad speech habits in the faculty, I can prepare my colleagues to treat future outbreaks of language disorders.
Driving west from Underbelly to Los Bebedors can be risky in the wintertime, as roads through the Montaña Mountains can become glazed with ice.
Even worse, when Professor Lawrence Blithermore drones on about major breakthroughs, my eyes become glazed. The last time this happened, I realized that Prof. Blithermore would have said glazed over.
At the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, Nurse Clara Dix calls the use of glazed over a symptom of Incontinent Preposition Syndrome.
Other examples are open up, patch over, swoop down, hide out, and up in here.
