It’s a tad nippy out there this morning – -31°C (-24°F) – but my god it’s beautiful. This was our view of Golden Horn at 10:16, 7 minutes after sunrise. Today was a “special treat” morning for breakfast (these special treats get more and more common 🙂 ) –...

With many of my friends in the eastern States getting hammered by Mother Nature right now, I have to show you the Whitehorse forecast. This is the way winter used to be before the “global warming” changes began – cold and clear, not much snow (there’s perhaps 5 inches...

There’s a conference coming up in Whitehorse in April 2010 that I want to tell you about. The Yukon Wholistic Health Network is bringing Dr. Gabor Maté in to present a series of talks and workshops based on his best-selling book When The Body Says No: The Cost of...

Last night I was hugely amused (and occasionally grossed out) by PeopleofWalmart.com – but today Tiger Woods is even funnier. The higher you climb, the further there is to fall, and there’s a lot of funny stuff out on the Web now! The funniest has to be the Tiger...

Cathy and I went to the Carcross cabin yesterday, to show it to a young couple who are interested in buying it. Cathy doesn’t want to sell it, and going there makes her a bit sad. We had a lot of good times there (among many other events large...

It is soooo beautiful right now – the temperature is still not bad, hanging around -20°C (-4°F), and the sunshine and thick frost are distractingly pretty. Yesterday I went exploring for a bit. I had to meet a Web site client out to the west just before sunrise, and...

I don’t really need an excuse to go to Skagway, but Cathy needed one to take a day off work to come with me. So I ordered a few things from Amazon.com and a few ABEBooks dealers, saving enough money to pay for a few such trips. The weather...

I seldom go anywhere without my camera, and yesterday was a good example of why. Cathy and I just had to run into Whitehorse to run a few errands – I’d forgotten my camera but Cathy grabbed it on the way out the door. As soon as we got...

Every since I was old enough to have control of what I do, I’ve been re-inventing myself on a fairly regular basis. Maybe I get bored easily, maybe I just want to do everything at least once. My list of past jobs is varied, to say the least, and...

I sorta got sucked in by the weather offices yesterday, but I suppose it’s okay because I really needed to hit the road for a day. The weather forecasts for both Whitehorse and Skagway were for mostly sun, clouding up in Whitehorse in the afternoon. As it turned out,...
