I hesitate to even post this, but I figured I should follow-up on a long forgotten project.

You may recall my silly songs written on the subject of X-Men characters. In cleaning some files and updating a website, I found two forgotten recordings, never updated or previously released to the idkfa public. Perhaps that was for the best.

But now here they are! A Christmas Miracle. Or disaster, depending on how you look at it. Keep in mind that these were recorded years ago.

Those with young children: with my sister's recent exodus from Anchorage, my parents have a number of kid's lawn things that no longer have children.

Hey everyone, we need some help. We now need a place to live when we move up in mid august. Our original agreement to stay with my Dad is suddenly tenuous. If you all have any leads, please let me know. We have cats, need at least 2 bedrooms, and would prefer to stay in the goldenview middle school boundaries. Thanks all

Work thing. We have teens at the library doing weekly projects for us, we call them VolunTEENs. (Librarians LOVE puns.) We have bought 3 Google Chrome books that we are putting through their paces to see if they are a feasible, cheaper alternate to the expensive laptops we currently buy for teen/public use. We have the volunTEENS testing them, trying to use them for normal stuff, trying to break them.

Two teen girls are "working" (playing) on a chrome book for this project. One teen girl is SUPER pretty. They yell across the room to a fourteen year-old boy "Hey Cody*, what is your favorite website?"

The boy's face - priceless. Pure unadulterated fear. He stammers while asking why they want to know. I left as they were explaning and before I heard his answer. But yeah, don't ask a teen boy that.

Probably a valid test of our computers, but not the testing we are doing.

*Names changed to protect the very sweet, hardworking teen boy. He would also be embarrassed to hear I called him sweet.

So it looks like Katy and I will be in Anchorage by mid August at the latest. Hopefully in time to do some silver fishing

Anybody heard of these guys?: https://m.facebook...ups/755592381137433 (m.facebook.com)

Appear to be a sort of syndicated Arctic Entries. And Anchorage has a chapter, I guess.

Tempted to see what they're about on the 4th.

These are the exact opposite thoughts (www.youtube.com) I have when deadlifting at the gym.

Is anyone else profoundly disturbed by the fact that a major motion picture was successfully censored by cyberterrorists? Because I honestly cannot believe how this has turned out, especially given that the FBI has concluded it was North Korean actors that were responsible for the attack (www.npr.org).

I've seen much worse shows featuring Alaska. (thescene.com)

Plus, I'm fairly certain I've seen a number of the locals they had on there.

For those of you who knew Greg Belton, he passed away last night at about 1am in Seattle, from heart failure caused by a systemic bacterial infection of unknown origin.

Sad day.
