by nielskunze on February 12, 2014
After a week-long hiatus we’re back. The extreme cold has abated and now we’re into heavy snowfall warnings. The groundhog appears to have been correct in predicting 6 more weeks of winter! Of quick note, Sitka was ecstatic to be (…)

by nielskunze on January 27, 2014

by nielskunze on January 25, 2014
Sometimes I just don’t know… and I’m okay with that. We’re all patiently seated in a classroom. The teacher is at the front of the class… polishing the blackboard… polishing and scrubbing until nary a trace of chalk remains. In (…)
