Saturday, August 20, 2011: Seattle


I never thought there would come a time in my life when I thought about Alaska every day.  I was wrong.  In mid-October, 2010, I accepted a year-long position in Anchorage, Alaska, population 291,826 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorage,_Alaska).  I have, since that time, thought about Alaska every day.  And who can blame me?  Alaska has bears in back yards, people stomped to death by moose, and packs of wolves living within Anchorage city limits.  Alaska has earthquakes, volcanoes, the Northern Lights, and almost 34,000miles of shoreline, much of it stunningly beautiful.

And soon, it will have me.
