The Daily Post: What would you do with a million dollars?

Today’s Daily Post topic is: What would you do with a million dollars? Being a dog trainer and a musher, the chance of me ever seeing a million dollar balance in my bank account is what dreams are made of. Having a family so small that we don’t even show up on a ancestry.com search […]

Talladega Nights: KFC, Prayer, and Spider Monkeys

Sitting up here alone in Alaska late at night I have become a huge fan of Netflix. How could anyone not think that the DVD by mail service wasn’t the coolest thing in the world? Well, apart from the Redboxes. Just how cool is that? You go to McDonalds (or other outlets) choose a movie, […]

Recipe Rants: Dried Herbs

When I decided to start my new Recipe Rants category I quickly found out that I do not have most if not all of the ingredients that is needed to make a lot of the recipes. I will be the first to tell you that when I go shopping I never take an inventory of the […]

The Daily Post: What Have You Learned?

Today’s Daily Post topic is: What have you learned? I am a firm believer that we, as people, are always evolving and always learning. Those of us who insulate ourselves from the world around us are doing so at the determent of our own survival. We are wired to teach and learn from each other. […]

On Monday morning we got an early start to head back to Portland. It would be our last day together for Michele and I for at least six weeks and we wanted to spend as much time as we could together. We had decided on Thursday that we would head for pizza for lunch today […]

Power Juicer Rocks!

Pacific Northwest Road Trip Part 4

On Sunday morning Michele and I conducted a business meeting and got our year end affairs in order for our businesses. This was another reason for this trip— we couldn’t work all the time could we??? As they say: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. At 1 pm we hosted our […]
