Anchorage

So I've been back in Anchorage for a few days, just waiting to find out where I'll go next. It's a lot warmer this time around (though still way way way colder than California) and the days are long which is kind of nice for someone like me who operates on a later schedule. There's still snow everywhere, but at least the sidewalks aren't iced over and I can walk without falling all the time. It snowed yesterday while I was going on a long walk, and it was beautiful. Nonetheless, I don't like waiting when I should be working. I'm ready to move on. To pass the time I have been reading Anne Karenina by Tolstoy and watching the HBO show "the Wire" and I've been loving both. I wish I had more exciting stories to tell, but nothing much is happening right now until i get onto a boat. 

If I don't get shipped out tomorrow I'm gonna try to hunt around town for a roaming moose and get a picture (from a safe distance).
