Earlier this week I took a stroll on my lunch half hour. This mural, one of many in Anchorage, is half a block from my office on the side of the 5th Avenue Mall. Just the other side of the whale is JCPenney.

Tomorrow, Tess and I and a bunch of other cheerleaders will be at Elmendorf Air Force Base as a community service project. The girls are helping out at the Officers’ Spouses’ Craft Bazaar. I’ll be helping out by browsing the booths. The base is open to the public for this special event. I’m looking forward to it.
