From Anchorage to Homer.







This moose was running down the road next to us! It was one of three we saw on the way.



That jut of land below is Homer, our new home.

Bald eagles are everywhere. This is one of five or six we saw as we arrived in Homer.



We're in Homer now at the place we'll be living. Everything is unbelievably beautiful. I walked to work this morning and nearly ran into many things because of the mountain view.

Other cool things:

  • My first project at work includes an oral history of homesteading from the ancestors of Jewel, the famous Alaskan singer.
  • I haven't had a cigarette since I left St. Louis.
  • Griffin's beard looks fabulous.
  • We're surrounded by three active volcanoes.
  • We live with the two most amazing dogs and two cool ass cats. (Of course, the cats don't compare to George.)
  • I just found out today that otters hang out right by the shore a mile away!
  • No permits are required to carry and conceal guns.
