I picked up Julie from the airport from her awesome trip rafting and kayaking in the grand canyon. I ran into Tawna, picking up Martin just in from Gambell. (Island just 40 clear miles to Russia, check out his blog). Stacia is back too from her trip to the north slope, I think. Last call she was stuck in a snow drift in her truck and they were coming to get her. I am excited they are back and we are all looking forward to catching up at dinner this weekend. Nice view of Ester Dome from Mark's house , tonight. Caz and Pella reunited. My life is not as exciting, but it is finals week and then my written comps for grad school already...making progress!
