Saturday morning, I got my annual dog mushing fix. The second stage of the 72nd Fur Rendezvous and World Championship Spring Sled Dog Sprint Championships was taking off from downtown Anchorage. It was a gorgeous morning - but flippin’ cold: below zero - perfect sprint dog weather!
I took a ton of pictures. I’m still looking […]

Ooooh - the Ski Boy gave me my very own Dwight Shrute Bobblehead. It totally looks like Dwight and it’s actually a very well made bobblehead. Dwight would be so proud!
I think it’s most appropriate that Dwight live at the office, so I brought him into work today. He’s settled in amongst all my other […]

I saw this little bug this evening in Seattle’s Pioneer Square on my way from work at the Smith Tower to Elliott Bay Bookstore. Words actually fail me at this point - although Henry II is wondering if this might be a career opportunity.

As I type, I’m in Seattle. I’m down for a series of strategic planning sessions. Oh boy!
The Seattle weather, to be blunt, sort of sucks. Cold, rainy, and windy. The jacket I brought is not heavy enough so I’ve been shivering since I arrived. Of course, it was a whopping one degree in Anchorburg this […]

I really do think that Alaska is different from anywhere else. Two front page articles in today’s paper demonstrate our uniqueness.
First up, Gordon Wright was found dead on Wednesday. Gordon was a long time giant on Alaska’s classical music scene. He was both a conductor and composer. Back in my trumpet playing Anchorage Symphony Days, […]

Very funny first person article by Michelle Slatalla in today’s New York Times on shedding pets, fur tumbleweeds, vacuums, and The Internet. The opening paragraphs are a hoot:
