I haven't been writing as regularly because we started shopping for a house, which is fun and exciting, but takes up a certain amount of time. The only hitch is that our old house has not sold yet, but we are sure we want to settle here, so we're going for it!
Alaska continues to throw all kinds of excitement at us; here is a sample:
The volcano (Mt. Slacker) continues to rumble, revving up the activity just long enough to get everybody excited again and then dying down.
The Iron Dog competition, which is a big snow machine ( snowmobile for those from the northest) race, is going on right now. The state's First Dude is participating, as I believe he often does. Occasionally you see a truck driving around with a sticker that says "Proud Wife of an Iron Dogger" and we joke that maybe it's Governor Sarah's truck! :)
A group of schoolkids have proposed the malamute as the Alaska State Dog. Despite some grumbly and/or humorous commentary from various columnists, no serious opposition to the measure is expected. So that's something to look forward to!
The countdown to the Iditarod continues, and I'm excited to see the start of that.
So that's the news in brief. Stay tuned!
