If you like little fur babies then I couldn’t recommend a better place to visit than Alaska in the Spring. I’m amazed at not only all of the wildlife we’ve seen, but all of the babies, too. It started off with the baby calf and her mama who first visited us in late May. I’m […]
Sweet, Sweet Alaska
After the last snowfall of the season (I now feel I can comfortably say “last”), Spring has sprung in Alaska. (Most of) the snow has melted and the bright, almost glowing, green grass has taken its place. Every morning when I take Nani out, I inhale slowly, deeply. The fragrant air pixies swirl in my […]
Whaddya know – there’s snow! Again!
I’ve been using the back deck as a yard stick. It’s been helping me gauge the change in seasons. Or the change I was hoping to see, anyway. About 3 weeks ago, the sun finally melted all of the snow and we were on our way into Spring. I could actually see the grass (no […]
There’s a Heat Wave in Anchorage
It really is true that it’s all relative. Take a couple of weeks ago, for instance. It was freezing. No, really. It was 32 degrees outside. And that’s freezing by any normal standards, right? It is, after all, the temperature at which normal things, like water, freeze. But never mind scientifically-proven things… Anyway, after weeks […]

Glimpses of Wildlife in Anchorage
It’s not every day you have a mama moose and baby calf in your backyard. This weekend as I was reliving my nerdy days as a CS major and messing around with my site’s SQL database, I looked up and saw two moose bolting through the yard. The snow is still pretty deep, so the […]
Alyeska: the Best View from a Ski Area in North America?
Some ski areas you go to because the terrain is just your speed – perhaps steep runs with cliffs or easy, meandering runs. Some you go to because it’s convenient. A 45-minute drive versus 3 hours? Could be a no brainer. But normally you don’t go just for the view. But in this case maybe […]
