Thanksgiving in September

... Don't have much to report from the hippie front. Things are winding down, people are leaving, I'm leading less tours, going away parties galore. One exciting thing going on in my little life is that Metro Parks Tacoma has offered me a position to help coordinate their outdoor program, the official title is "Associate Recreation Program Specialist." The Sparx outdoor program seems pretty cool so I'm pretty excited. I wasn't exactly planning on staying in Tacoma through the school year but I might have to rethink my plans. The job is only part-time so I think in addition to it I will get another part-time job. If anybody has any leads please let me know.

So one of my last post incorrectly stated that I would be home in 9 days. I think that I must have had a brain freeze from riding my bike in an sub-arctic climate zone because as of today I leave Skagway in 7 days and won't be home until October 3. I apologize to all of my followers for any confusion.

I only have one more thing to do before I leave here.... some people in town have "Alaska for Obama" campaign signs, I have to get one, my Alaska experience won't be complete with out it.

Peace to All! I can't wait to be back in T-Town and see everybody, especially the newest edition to the Tarno Dynasty.

PIC: Our last family photo, Erich left yesterday. That leaves us with three people living in the house, four employees total. Isn't it funny that all the girls are on the bottom?? We had a really nice Thanksgiving dinner to celebrate the end of the season and to new beginnings...
