Annual thanksgiving pie recipes
With my favorite holiday tomorrow I had to pick out a few pies to make tonight. Picked out some new recipes, I'll let you know how they go. Anyhooo, Mary doesn't want to many pies this year (ah man!) so I'm making just two:
An apple pie
And a chocolate-caramel cheese cake (yum!)
Cross fingers they're good...

Finally an album update...
Well, I'm not satisfied with the layout yet but for the first time in a long time I've put up a whole picture album More tinkering to do for sure but I just finished up the calendar and thought I'd take a bit of time to pick out some pictures from the year.

Seward Peninsula Visit
Well, it was like a month ago but thought I'd put at least a picture or two after all this time. The trip was great. We started in Nome, Anna and I and did our field work then she flew back to Fairbanks and I got to tour a few villages. So, here's a couple pictures from the trip but hopefully in the next day or two I'll put up a boatload more in the picture gallery section. Now that I have my new computer up and running I can catch up on details like that sort of thing. There's lots to catch up on, too (as you can see from the lack of posts).
Here's Anna coming back down the mountain up in the Kigulaiks. What a great day despite the miserable cold up on top there. We hiked in to the station.
The station had all kinds of rime ice on it so we didn't do anything more than double-check that the antenna was in the right direction. I wanted to replace the anemometer that broke last winter but with all this ice on the station already I decided not to bother.
Ken's got some cool pictures of a rime-y station up on the slope here on the WERC site. Here's another picture from the Kigluaiks though
And, I finally saw the pet reindeer! I've heard about this fellow before but he was finally at the grocery store at the same time we were:
How cool is that? Okay, well, more to come later, tomorrow maybe.

They will, they will, bore you
I've so been dying for an excuse to put up this picture.
... and now I've got one. Check out this article about other such fine musicians:
WSJ Computer Rockers!
These people are so funny I've actually got cameraphone quality sound recordings of them scratching it up at Freddies. Ahh life. More Nome stuff to come later, I mean it this time (I think).

skijoring
Well, back online after a long break here. Hectic fall as you might imagine. So, Jessie and I got out for the first time last weekend. Not really enough snow for doing it justice but it was fun to be outside and skiing. The dogs were happy to be back at it, too.
We had fun but my feet were totally killing me by the end. I'll have to get back out there I think...

Lighter stuff to come (been a busy month... or is it two now).
