The way I see it....

Here they are... the long-awaited photos from Tess's last game of the season! Okay, maybe not that long-awaited. But here they are just the same.

The girls' last game was at Home against Eagle River. Donald's last game was Away at Eagle River. Stephen went to that one. Both Chugiak teams won. Both Donald and Tess scored the first 2 Chugiak points of their games. No one was injured, so both games were a vast success!

I haven't gone to www.iditarod.com yet to check the status of the mushers out there on the trail. As of last night, I think 8 or 10 had scratched for various reasons. Most of the reasons are because the mushers feel they are unable to adequately care for their dogs for the remainder of the race due to self-sustained injuries or problems with their sled. The Anchorage Daily News has been doing a nice job of keeping up with the action as well, if you're interested.

We're getting around 11 hours of daylight at this point and after this weekend's Daylight Savings Time jump, I should be driving to work in sunlight! Yay! I made it!

At work, I'm in the process of putting together some GIS training for the troops. I'm calling the class "Quick & Dirty GIS". So far I've filled the two originally scheduled classes and have almost filled a third offering. The first class is next Tuesday. I was hoping to complete the course material development yesterday, but I'm making good headway. As long as the baby's cold doesn't worsen to the point that I need to stay home with her, I should be okay...

That's all for now... Stay tuned for the next episode of... "The Anchorage Hillbillies!" [ensue with canned banjo music]
