I went to the ACLU Alaska annual brunch on Saturday. Much to my surprise, it was not three people standing around a hotdog stand in downtown. Alaska continues to surprise me.
My plans for today
A good book. A roaring fire. Peace and quiet.
Contrary to popular opinion, not everyone in the country thinks the Superbowl is that important to our lives… or important at all.
On the other hand, great way to keep the steroid culture alive amongst our young men.
It’s official
Today I officially become part of the 47%. Yes!
Here’s a fun way to make your dog crazy
Wait until he has his second favorite toy in the whole world in his mouth. Then casually stroll by the spot where he carefully placed his first favorite toy in the world and pick it up. Amble away with little stuffed Santa while doggie goes frantic running after you with little pink bunny in his mouth. Then force him to choose.

Getting ready for Kivgiq
You’re never too young to make sure your drum is oiled and ready.
