Glued to the computer screen, that is. For the past few days we have been totally focused on what’s on the computer. Two reasons: Watching streaming video of the Iditarod start and cheering on our mushers (Go Lance, Martin, Rohn, and Jeff!!!) Vicariously keeping up with Superboy and dad’s travels. They spent a good bit [...]
