I’m taking a “mental health” break – since I don’t smoke, you see. 😉

thought I would stop in and say hello to everyone – I’ve been waving and mugging for the Commons webcam all day – and have been (screen) caught several times. But the sign doesn’t show up very well – so I took a picture.

Okay – break’s over – see ya all later.

Well, for today, that is. Should you care to check in sometime today between noon and 6 pm (Alaska time) you just might see me in the Commons during KPC’s Health Fair. Looks a bit crowded even without students wandering through, I’d say.

At any rate, I will try to place my moosie body so that you won’t get a shot of the derierre – AND, I will try to wave now and again. You all stop by and comment here if you saw me.

How will you know me? I will take a moose along. Okay?

You all be good now, y’hear?

Thirty-two years ago today we welcomed daughter #2, Ladybug, into our family. Long – LONG dark brown (nearly black) hair and big blue eyes – lusty lungs and joyful tears – we welcomed her with wide open arms.

Today she is 32! I do NOT know where the years have gone.

Happy Birthday, my girl.

love,

Lessa and I drove to Anchorage to check on the amateur photo contest. Due to the published press release I knew that none of my pictures had merited a “special” ribbon (grand, first, second or third prize ribbon or honorable mention), but we wanted to see if they had been placed on display.

All four! So, that is nice. They will be on display at the Sears Mall in Anchorage until mid March. I will drive back up to pick them up on the 17th – at least, that is the plan as of today. 😉

While up there, we decided to take in some of the Rondy sights. Mind you, it is brrrrrr cold right now – and the bit of wind we had made it seem all the more cold – so, we were choosy as to what we would stand around for.

The snow carvings were one of the things – and what best to do – than people watching?

how better to keep your head warm than with a dog head hat? We live in Alaska – we make our own fun!

The Good: a day trip to the big city with Lessa

The Bad: coming home to find a request for a complete rewrite of my column for the newspaper (because the newsroom clerk feels that it shows a biased agenda)

The Ugly: the fact that it bothers me so much to be asked for the rewrite (because it is assumed that my interviewee had the agenda, when in reality, it was probably MY agenda)

The Result? I’ve asked a Christian sister for prayer on the matter – my attitude especially. And, I’ve contacted my interviewee and asked for further information – so that I can make the article more secular – thus more appealing to the newspaper.

The Outcome? Remains to be seen.

Nevertheless – thanks for a fun day, Lessa. We’ll do it again sometime.
