		<description><![CDATA[Finally! Our first measurable snowfall of the year! The record was November 14 and we came quite close to eclipsing that date. But tonight, it started to snow - for real. Well, maybe not for real. We&#8217;ll be lucky if we get an inch. But it&#8217;s enough to turn our driveway white.
And Echo and Tyge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago, it dawned on me that Echo and Tygey were actually our very own Team Ebony and Ivory. That just kills Peter. But it is pretty funny.
Here&#8217;s a very blurry picture I took late this afternoon while we were running. It&#8217;s really hard to hold two leashes with rambunctious dogs attached, mittens, [...]]]></description>

Da Ski Boy, Echo, Tygey, and I are hanging out this evening, watching Game 3 of the World Series, (Go Phillies!!!!!), eating BBQ, drinking wine (well, not the poochies) and handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. We&#8217;ve already had our first visitor: a neighbor kid dressed up as &#8220;Balloon Boy.&#8221;

We got up at 4:00 AM - it&#8217;s almost a two hour drive from Sarasota to Orlando. I figured that this is actually the equivalent of a red eye out of Anchorage - we left Muby and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peter and I are in the midst of a blitzkrieg Florida trip: got down to Sarasota late Friday night and head home early Tuesday morning. A very quick dash. The weather has been very hot and muggy. We&#8217;re definitely not in Alaska any more.
I haven&#8217;t been overly active this trip - unless you could massive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My grandfather was a geologist for Sinclair Oil from the 1920s-1960s. One of my favorite things as a five year old little kid was a life size inflatable green Sinclair Brontosaurus that my grandfather gave me. I absolutely adored it - and who wouldn&#8217;t????

She and her group arrived in town yesterday afternoon. They thought a little sightseeing might be fun - after all this is Alaska and you&#8217;ve just got to go see. So, last evening, I took Esperanza and Dan [...]]]></description>
