I know, I know. I’ve been gone a long time. Here’s what I’ve been up to the past…what? Nearly four weeks??: My best friend’s dog died after having him shipped in from the bush to go to the emergency veterinarian’s. Busily Christmas shopping, online and in stores. Practicing patience one day at a time while [...]

Oh, I wish I’d found It’s Lovely! I’ll Take It! when I was looking for houses this spring. The tagline is “A collection of poorly chosen photos from real estate listings.” Very, very funny. I might just have to go back and look for that house that was floor-to-ceiling wood paneling to send in. A [...]

According to an online poll over at Time.com, Jon Stewart is the most trusted newsperson in America right now. I bet if you did this as a phone poll or any other kind of poll, the results would be very different. Good to know that my man Jon came out on top, though.

Today is an absolutely beautiful day here in Anchorage. The sun is shining brightly (after almost a week of haze), the sky is blue and the winds are calm. Perfect. I refuse to soil today with any posts about Palin, even though there is plenty to talk about. Just go to Huffington Post and you’ll [...]

A friend of mine recently asked me to come with her to the Wild Ride Sled Dog Rodeo. She is a tour guide and she sometimes gets free tickets to things like flightseeing, rafting and other excursions. The idea is that if the tour guides enjoy the show, they’ll talk it up to their customers [...]

David Letterman for President

I have kept out of the David Letterman/Sarah Palin kerfuffle up til now because I didn’t want to give Palin the publicity is she so desperately seeking. Her fake outrage at Letterman’s joke was enough to put me off my breakfast, and I didn’t want to hash it out again here. But I do want [...]
