back from the last frontier...

alaska...the dream belongs to you...

so glad that i went to alaska! it was beautiful. she was beautiful. christmas with a really warm family was beautiful. i got totally spoiled by jen's fam. now i'm back in oly and home alone. goodtimes. sucks to be with the one you love and then have to fly away and be alone in a house. now, it's nice to have alone time. i understand that now, i probably should respect other people's alone time more. hmm...

so, what's the haps on the NEW YEARS EVENTS!!!! i'm back! it's time to plan! i'll give everyone a call here sometime today to see what's going on! schwee actually got ahold of me and we decided to plan something...not sure what yet. bobanna left me a message as well...so much to do!!! mission for the day is to cement at least a tenative plan!

ok, here's something to think about. i just got back from alaska. alaska isn't even connected to the united states directly. yet, somehow, they manage to have a GREAT beer selection, all the really great pacific northwest beers are there! what was in the fridge at jen's house for christmas beers? well, the standard Alaskan Amber (wonderful) AND, Jubelale from the Dechutes Brewery in Oregon(FANTASTIC)! HOW can alaska, that is so far removed from the rest of the country, manage to have a great beer selection while a MAJOR US CITY like...i don't know...CHICAGO! can only offer up sam adams crappy beer? why? alaska might be behind the rest of the world when it comes to movies and liberal thinking (besides legalizing pot), but it puts pretty much all of middle america to shame in its taste in good beers. (I tried some other alaskan micro's while i was there and they were fantastic! OH, and i tried these beers in KENAI of all places! Even po'dunk kenai, alaska cares enough to have LOCAL micro's shipped in from anchorage, homer, or other random locals.) all to more reason to stay out of "the middle".

-out

call. we need to plan.
