Hey Michael!

-> One trades off at times! I'm learning that more and more.
->
True...but one tries to make the 
trade UP as often as one can!
 
->  -> It is. Next time when my life is wide open we'll do more

-> $28 (counting tax and tip) for a pizza in Nome. We were
-> tripling and quadrupling up on rooms because they ran over
-> $200 a night. At the local Asian fusion place, my friends
-> Dave and Laura dropped over $100 on a meal for 2 involving
-> pot stickers, edamame, fried rice, and spicy pork; my halibut
-> and chips with two beers was $40. And the crew is planning on
-> going to Adak for 3 days next month. I'm glad I'm only an

-> group.
->
As you know I'm not "well heeled" at all.
T-shirts and jeans are my preferred attire
these days. I no longer fit into any of my
old suits and I am pretty sure I only have
two ties anymore.

-> But sometime the heft of real books will return to

-> 
Unless they can get good copyright
royalties from the ebook side. Prices
of e-books are almost 100% profit I'd
guess.

Well...Alaska is a "Cold" place!!

and POOOOORRRRRRK! Next time
you come back we'll go to the
ballpark and get the hot link
covered in Pulled Pork...not

-> Laird Kelly. Someone once deemed that that one
-> was too small to count. But as they tend to be
-> shrinking, maybe the criteria will change. The
-> dinner in Dungeness was also big enough to count,
-> I think, but I don't remember who was there.

And Kathryn Cone and her hubby...Laird
has not made an appearance in a LONG time!

Next time you come, hopefully for longer,
we can maybe get a few day trips in!!

Heard the good news about Billy, give
him and HIS Annie our best wishes!!
chat with you soon!
