Rondy

February 24th, 2007 / Categories: Alaska, Moose Nuggets / Comments Closed

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!

Good, Bad, Ugly

February 24th, 2007 / Categories: Family, Moose Nuggets / Comments Closed

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.
