A young friend of mine from Barrow was talking to her mother recently. Mom was here in Anchorage at the time. It was right after the New Year and the young lady commented that there was light now during the middle of the day so she knew the sun would soon be back.
It’s statements like these that make me realize that if I don’t take care, Anchorage is going to turn me into a real whimp. Here I am longing for the days to lengthen so that I have some incentive to get out of bed before 10 AM.
