It’s been a busy week here in Alaska. Snow has been falling for 4 straight days, and is drifting up past my knees is some places, making our work in the dog yard more arduous.

We also have a friend from Washington visiting, another former trip leader from IU Outdoor Adventures. He’s the one in the tie beside MJ in this video from Halloween.

Tomorrow we’re having t-day dinner with some friends in Homer, which will be very nice. We’re going to take some dishes we grew up with (corn pudding for me, sweet potato casserole for Skippy), and pretend we’re not 4000 miles away from our families.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, if you’re reading in the US and you celebrate the holiday. Everyone else, enjoy your Thursday!
