Mar. 15, 2008 - Betcha thought I broke both my arms and was unable to type....
Nope, I am perfectly healthy. Just insanely busy and behind schedule with the bookstore. I am trying to live up to our name "Pandemonium" apparently.
I just spent the last 3 days in Galena Alaska which is a native village just south of the Arctic Circle. By some amazing opportunity and unique thinking, which I learned all about this weekend, it is also the home base of our Correspondence school. I was there as one of 5 statewide area reps, to say "thank you" to the Galena School Board. It was an awesome experience.
Despite the fact that I have lived in Alaska my whole life, I had never been to that part of the state.
Do you see those white lines? Those are essentially all the connected roads in the state. Galena is located on the Yukon river, sort of to the west. The only way to get there is plane, boat (for 3 mos in the summer) snow machine or (not kidding) dog sled.
Don't worry, we flew.
I'd love to tell you more, but I must make breakfast for the world's smallest retreat (grumble grumble) and then to rush to Anchorage for Delaney's gymnastic meet. Unfortunately, I an missing the boys' 3rd game of their hockey state tournament to make breakfast.

Enjoyed reading your blog entries. I am in a north east state (compared to you, it's a southern state...)... But I have a niece in Homer. Enjoyed reading about Alaska and seeing the map.
I also run a bookstore - one in my basement that is strictly an internet bookstore in Alibris.com. We seem to have much in common. Especially the part about not having enought time...
Visit my blog sometime. Oh, by the way, I found you by random blogging.

Sheesh! I just hate it when people don't update their blogs regularly. Like they expect us to believe that bloggers actually have lives beyond their computer screens. Right! ;o)
I hope the meet and hockey games all went well and that things are falling in place well for the bookstore and you can get a breather soon. I will try to think about you next time I want to complain about our lousy roads and how much we pay in property taxes.
