    Traveled to Alaska to club books?
    Well, I guess since taking it out on the little baby seals has fallen into disfavor if you have to club something books will have to do. Seems like there's plenty of books down here need clubbing, though. Cheers, AlaskaGirl! Club on!

    What a magical journey.
    What a magical journey. Something tells me that time will pass in a different space for her. And that's the magic, the beauty, of a journey of the heart. She will always be AlaskaGirl here.Her body may wander but her spirit is shining on us all now. Good for her, seize the day. Thanks for sharing this story erickat. Just wonderful, wishing her all the best of life to come.

    Update
    AlaskaGirl is in Alaska, Safe & Sound (well - we'll think about that last part) - busy hiking & enjoying life & looking for work & lodging - so she will be AlaskaGirl here soon - but it may take her a while - what with book club & whatnot (Book club?) Got to get the priorities straight - in the meanwhile, nobody take the name AlaskaGirl - I reserved it for her - she just needs to respond with the last little bit of effort to achieve all that she can be - AlaskaGirl. I've been sending her hurry up emails - but given the fact that she sold her house, travelled all the way across the continent (by herself) and is doing book club before finding a job and place to live - I doubt she'll listen to me (nor should she)

    great places to be
    http://www.alaskabeers.com/ http://www.glacierbrewhouse.com/ They look like good places to be. I heard from her - She's in. I tried to get her to register on the site, but she had trouble. I registered her as AlaskaGirl - with her email - she just has to finish it off now - then she can post herself. I suggested that at least she write the story up for readers digest & get a hundred bucks - but she's shy about that kind of stuff. I guess she's also kind of busy doing dumb stuff like looking for a place to live & a job & whatnot.

    The Glacier Brewhouse!
    That would be a good place to be in Anchorage, for two reasons: They're having a release party for their Eisbock beer ("big, malty, slightly fruity and high in alcohol") tomorrow, and they have a Market Price Blue Plate Special where the special costs whatever the Dow Jones avg for the previous day is, so tomorrow it'll only be $6.88. Then again, might need to check out the Sleeping Lady Brewing Co. ************************************** *The white zone is for loading and unloading only* **************************************

Apparently, she came back east for a family visit (or something) - and stopped into work for a visit. She's actually working as a Jr. Data Analyst (hey, at least it's work) - it's way below her, but it's easy & fits her carefree life. She's fishing every day & stocking up for winter & had some great stories about bear spray & how to ward off bears when they do that fake charge thing (raise your arms above your head and wave them & say "Go away bear" - or something like that) She said they did this because they were in a big group (like 6 people) - and her friend ran back to camp - and later, she asked him "so, did you think you were better off all by yourself, or with a group of 5 other people - and did you think that was the only bear in the area?" - that's right - the women are smarter! Anyway - I didn't really get much of a chance to talk with her - and then she was gone (again) - maybe I'll see her before she goes back to Anchorage.

I very much appreciate everyone being patient and helping me out - you'd think an Alaska would have a decent copy of this show but I don't and I am quite thrilled to be getting it.

someone sign-up for this. (and fed-ex is a bit of overkill - don't you think?) I use a cut-up plain brown grocery bag & some bubble wrap & lots of tape (not scotch - the good clear packing tape) - home made & recycled - but bomb proof. These Alaska shows are really great - worth the price of postage
