It’s been a pretty big year since my last blog post. Traveled to Santa Barbara (saw Dana and Carolyn) and Tokyo, bought a new house next to Kitty-Kat, decent summer including an injury-free season with the ‘Shrikes, went to Idaho for Grandma’s 90th (plus 1/2) birthday, managed to get to north of the Brooks Range […]

Transitions all around me
October 19th, 2012 · 3 Comments
From my perspective, the recent past, the present, and near future has/is/going to be a time of big changes and/or transitions for most of my friends — moving in, moving out, death, birth, leaving jobs, new jobs, health issues, divorce, marriage, plus whatever else I’m missing. I’m not exactly sure what it means, but I […]
TED and Vulnerability
May 15th, 2012 · 1 Comment
Ann suggested I watch this TED talk many months ago. I finally watched it this morning. Definitely a good one that made me think long about many things. Definitely struck home more than once. I haven’t watched TED talks in a long while, although it is definitely one of my favorite pastimes.
New Bed
April 12th, 2012 · 1 Comment
Off and on over these past couple of years, I have had a hard time sleeping. Part of it was just my mind refusing to shut off. Part of it was just not being comfortable in my bed. A few weeks ago, I had my friend Chad build me a new custom birch bed. Chad […]
World Ice Art Championships

Last weekend, Shannon and I went to the World Ice Art Championships. Like last year, it was chilly and we did not stay long. As always, amazing art. The ice art is a nice reward for surviving winter! The rest of the images are in my image gallery. Shannon posted her pictures here.

The Stampede Trail has recently gained fame as the ‘magic bus’ (Into the Wild refernce) is located off this trail. We headed out early and were […]

Cold Departure
January 30th, 2012 · 1 Comment
I managed to escape the Fairbanks cold Saturday night. The airport temperature was -49F when we left. The icefog in town has been horrible – nearly impossible to see. The picture above (not a great picture) was taken on the way to the airport. The icefog was so thick, you can barely see the car […]

Relay for life
May 17th, 2009 · Comments Off
In a couple weeks, I am participating the Relay for Life, a nationwide fund raising event for the American Cancer Society. I am on Team Spiritus and it seems like it is a fun, good, and amazing group. The team goal is to raise $5000 and my personal goal is a bit less than that. […]
