Jon and I snowshoeing above Homer

My face is blurred out 'cause I'm not sure I wish to be seen with Jon.

Homer, Alaska

Where the trees are festooned with bald eagles.

Two things I dig about Fairbanks' airport...

A) - They have a null gate, and...

B) - Their awesome -50° de-icing procedure

The fine snow filling the air...

...was only seconds before a cup of near-boiling water. It turns instantly to snow. Doesn't work with cooler water, oddly. Dad probably knows why, but I don't. One of Fairbank's many unique entertainments.

Welcome to Fairbanks

Just leaving Fairbanks airport

It's -33°…

Same view after 10am sunrise. Love this place.

View from room 718, the Goldbelt Inn, Juneau, AK

Snowing, of course.

Juneau

Taking off from Petersburg for Juneau

Hard to tell, but there's a snow storm. Fun!

On the radio on KFSK, Petersburg, AK

Petersburg, AK

Small fishing town south of Juneau. In the little dive where we ate delicious garlic burgers, they were watching 'Alaska State Troopers.' In Alaska. Sweet.

Anchorage

About what you'd expect...

Ft. Lauderdale, Broward Center for the Arts

Howard attempts to get the Three Little Wives of Newt to sing on key.

I get this from you, Dad

It seems I always move in the snow. All going well, despite precipitation. And, inexplicably, camera stopped taking sepia-tone prints. Whee!

When did you make this, Mom?

Pool bag w/ initials...circa...1969 maybe?

Katie-do!

Kate tried a new hairdo today. I can't tell if she's pleased, but it looks kinda neat! Such a pretty girl....

Happy New Year!

From the stage, Rochester, New York. Confetti and smoke cannons went off seconds earlier. Whee!

Lovely day to fly to Rochester

Kate looks good in her Birthday Dress!

I picked it out! Ha!

Kat and me at the Kennedy Ctr

At the Playhouse Square Theater complex in downtown Cleveland.

Howard, Delores, Morgan, Bari, and Me... Lovely place. Great sold-out crowd.

This is what waking up in a Cleveland hotel room on a frigid December morning looks like

Plus, its Monday. If I were tubercular and on fire this might be an actual nadir of my existence.

Amazing the things you find...

This is the giant candle that Porter Koontz and I used to play chess by out in the backyard ages ago, back when we lived in Columbia. He passed away several years back and I promised to burn it in his honor. Then of course, I couldn't find it. Well, found it: R.I.P. Porter.

Yes...it's a Teddy Bear. With an Uzi..

Bring the kids! Plenty of ammo for everyone!
