Juneau has gotten a lot of snow in the past couple of days, even at sea level. Today has been a day of obligations that have kept me from getting out in it. Getting on my skis usually provides a means of clearing my head and making room for thoughts to flow around. Without that […]

How often do we encounter this in our lives and do you question it when the feeling sweeps over you? “Hmmm, must not have gotten enough sleep last night,” or “Are my hormones out of whack?” I know that I have had some genuine moments that cannot be attributed to these reasons. Music, when just […]

I find my thoughts returning to Terry Thiese’ Reading Between the Wines on a regular basis. Today when I was attempting to find a passage that I wanted to reference, I found inspiration in another. One of the chapters that Thiese laid out in his treatise is entitled “The Three Humors.” Theise feels that there […]

Earlier this fall my daughter was presented with the challenge of creating a drawing that would be adjudicated by the Juneau Public Library in a contest that would grant winners the honor of their entry being printed into a bookmark for the library system. Out of all the 4th graders who entered the contest, my […]

More snow fell on Eaglecrest last night and I headed up to do some downhill and cross-country skiing. The sun broke through the fog just as I got to the top and I went in search of some untouched powder. I got a little mad at myself for being chicken on a steep chute, but […]

It’s raining at sea level, but at the base of Eaglecrest snow is falling. The old icy snow on the nordic trails was frighteningly fast in places, but the little bit of fresh snow on top made for more manageable speeds. Let it snow, we need it. Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you like the […]

It’s time to get out with my kids on a Sunday and ski. Looking through pictures to find words, I found this. We fish for salmon in Bristol Bay, captain boats, pick and pull nets. We sell fish, save some for ourselves, and eat fish. We share this bounty with our families and friends. It […]

Today I headed up to the lower nordic loop at Eaglecrest Ski Area. Even on the mountain the temperatures were in the 40’s but the good cover we got earlier in the season is holding up pretty well. Judging by the marks on the recently groomed trail, a few folks got out ahead of me, […]

The ski conditions have not changed in Juneau, nor has my resolve to make it out as many days as possible this season. Today I went around and around the Mendenhall Campground seven times which I think amounts to roughly 21km. My legs were starting to feel pretty wobbly toward the last couple of rounds […]

As I was skiing today I kept thinking about my Great-Grandmother, Anna Chukan. She loved us in a quiet and solid way that my family misses every day, yet we know that her love abides with us still. Whether I had just come in from playing, skiing or fishing, if she were not busying herself […]
