Falling colors

So another great summer lurches toward its end. Sadly in Alaska the colors are changing. We picked the last of the berries at Hatcher’s Pass today and the tundra was in polychromatic splendor. Aside from working the past three weeks straight, it has been a fantastic summer. We caught lots of fish. Spent a good portion of the time at the family homestead with the kids playing in the dirt. I learned to ride a motorcycle and how to dismount from a moving cyclocross bike with out killing myself (yet). My writing has suffered from complacency, Facebook lurking, Craigslist browsing, and lack of things to be angry or frustrated about. All in all a fantastic couple of months. Jackson is looking forward to snow already (although I’m not quite ready…I have to get through cyclocross season first), and we have some travels to Texas and Hawaii coming up that will keep us entertained. Hope all is well with you and yours.
