Watch any good film version of Jane Eyre. Pay attention as nothing more than amazing dialog, tension filled looks, and the slightest touch of a hand is more sexy than anything that’s come out of Hollywood in 100 years. Sometimes less is truly more.
Am I the only one…

LIttle Joey gets a surprise
My friend Greta’s son Joey loves his Aapa Harris very, very much. Aapa, however, has not been in Anchorage the past week while Joey was visiting because he was working on the Slope.
