I remember when Mark referred to children as "cubs."

Scooter
This cat #3, Scooter, on our front step.
Judging from the light, it looks like summer, about 11 p.m.

Sowerberry
In May, I played Sowerberry the Undertaker in "Oliver!" here in Nome.
In a town where everyone knows everyone, no one recognized me.
Sweet.

Brevig Aerial Shot
As seen from the port, aft side of a southbound Piper Navajo at about 750 feet. The white stuff is day-old snow on Oct. 13.

Thanks, Jerry
I stayed with my former boss, Jerry, when I was in Anchorage last weekend to take the LSAT.
He's an old-school labor Democrat who is astounded daily by the depredations of the US regime.
God bless Jerry!

Lincoln's Cabin
This is my wife's cousin's new cabin at the family fish camp. It's the talk of the river.
Paul, the proud builder, is soon to be serving in Iraq with the Alaska National Guard. I think it is stupid that he has to go there, but we're all proud of his service and sacrifice. This photo is for him, so he can look at it on-line when he gets chance.

Patti and Grandpa
My wife and her Grandpa, Isaiah, in his home in White Mountain in August.
He is turning 83 this week. He is a man's man, a real Eskimo, a respected Elder.

Fish River
At the helm of our co-op boat. Note that I am sitting on an empty bucket.
This photo was taken on an August weekend during which we caught and hung about 300 salmon.
The Oksoktaruk fish camp is on the Fish River, about 30 minutes upriver from White Mountain, if I'm driving.
This is the life, boy.

Mexico
Welcome to my blog.
This is me on a boat near Puerto Vallarta. I live in Nome, Alaska, which is just like Puerto Vallarta, except treeless, windier, colder, tinier, and much more expensive.
I promise to do better next time.
