At fishing, that is! One of us has finally figured out how to land the elusive red (sockeye) salmon! It took a few days, but Cityboy has now earned the bragging rights of having landed our first salmon of the season! In fact, he landed two! This beauty was a big male, about 25 pounds, [...]

To say we have been keeping busy would be an understatement! What a banquet that has been laid before us! It’s hard to blog about it all, but I will give it a shot… Fishing at midnight on the Buskin River… spotting sea otters splashing in the surf off Chiniak bay… trying one last time [...]

Just in case you are curious, on the sidebar I will be keeping a running tally of the interesting nature we observe here in Kodiak. Honestly, it is just a sampling of the things we’ve seen, but I am trying to at least attempt to keep track of some of it. I have not yet [...]

This is just a brief note to let folks know we are here in Kodiak and doing great! I will do a proper blog post soon, but just to get the ball rolling, we have been here slightly over 24 hours and have already seen whales, bald eagles (they are everywhere!), salmon, dolly varden, sea [...]

I am leaving for Alaska in 4 days. LOTS to do, here. I don’t even know why I am on the computer. So when Erin of Seven Little Australians tagged me for the 4 and 4 meme, my first thought was “how cool is it that I know someone in Australia!?!”And then I thought “no [...]
Get Real!

Big news! As you may know, one of my very favoritest virtual hang-outs is the 4Real Learning message board.
