AlaskaFound The blink of an Eye

Well it seems that over the weekend someone turned on the summer switch here in Downtown Anchorage. The sun has come back with a vengeance, the trees sprouted leaves over night, and all the dang ol' tour buses have returned. It seems like only yesterday it was -35 and pitch dark here, but yet here I am soaking up the mid-morning sun in my office like a happy little lizard. I have been in Alaska now for just over a year. There is a great deal of pride in that last sentence. And not something tha… Continue

Ben & Jari My Story is that I'm crazy, what's yours?

There are two kind of people, those who come to Alaska and never come back, and those who come to Alaska and never go back. I’ve always felt that Alaska is like a bar: everyone who comes here comes for a reason.

But Alaska is never the end of the story; it is always the beginning and it teaches everyone a little bit about themselves. Some people discover a home they never kn… Continue
