What’s there to do in Alaska?
Lots of you have asked me, what’s there to do in Alaska?
Maybe the question is: What *isn’t* there to do in Alaska!
Because there are a LOT of answers to that question!

A Musical Metaphor
Tiredness saps the curiosity from your eyes, and makes each approaching corner seem daunting, not promising. Anger wicks imagination from your thoughts. Sadness ties itself to your dreams and like concrete kite strings pulls them down into the dirt.

I Will Never Be Bored Again
I will never bored again in my life.
I came to this realization on the seven hour train ride from Anchorage, Alaska, to Denali National Park. This was a one-way trip; the return journey would be by bus and it’s not likely I’ll ever make this particular passage again. I had a window seat and as I settled in, I took stock of the entertainment options at my disposal for the ride.

The Mono, She Got Me!
I have mono.
You might see me blogging a little more (you certainly couldn’t see me blogging less!) because I am, as of today, pretty much only able to go between couch and bed, swallow wincingly, and wish for more Neo Citron.

My First Burlesque Show
Last Sunday, Mandy and I managed to make it to the very last event of the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival. The show, called “Kitty Nights West”, is on every Sunday, and we had so much fun, I totally plan to go again.

Sentimental Value
What an odd species humans are. What weird things we do. And how we manage to actually grow and prosper—it astounds me. Here’s just one example:
When Susie and I were backpacking around Europe in the fall of 1998, we stayed for a night in a hotel in Kosice, Slovakia, from which I stole a bar of soap.

Google Adwords Followup: They Won’t Tell Me Who to Contact
The saga continues. I’m trying to run an AdWords ad for my mom’s Kumon center. She has been told by Google that she can’t use the term “Kumon”—the name of her company—in her ad because it’s a trademarked term. I asked Google to tell me who the person is who can give permission to Kumon holders. This is their unsatisfying reply.
