Got this in an email from my boss (we're both Alaska girls):
The first man married a woman from MINNESOTA. He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away...
The second man married a woman from SOUTH DAKOTA. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking.The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man married a girl from ALASKA. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

Antique storage
I've been kind of obsessed with antique card catalogs and cubbies lately. What an ingenious, yet visually appealing, method of storage. I wonder if our local antique stores have any...

Big head
You all know that our dog Drift is a star of the small screen -- appearing in a grand total of two television commercials.
Well now he has reached another level of unprecedented local status -- a mention in the Anchorage Daily News' Alaska Ear! (That's our version of a gossip column.)
It is just a passing reference, but a mention nonetheless!

"A QUESTION ... What's up at ACS? Another high-profile woman has left the very visible PIO job there. Earwigs say former ADN business reporter Paula Dobbyn, who started last May, is gone. Her predecessor, Mary Gasperlin, left last April after a year. Before Gasperlin, former KTUU anchor Meghan Stapleton (now the mouthpiece for SarahPac) and the IBEW's Melinda Taylor both left after a few months. Before them, Mary Ann Pease exited. Is that five in four years? Looks like they all went on to better things, but what's the story? Hmmm. Maybe there's only room for one company spokeswoman in the organization -- the one who's always walking that dog on TV?"
Can you believe that our dog is more famous than either D or me?

No sign of spring here
Saturday was one long snow day -- big, wet flakes blanketed the area and we ended up with about five inches.
Fur Rondy also started this weekend...it's basically a 10 day citywide winter celebration, hearkening back to the old days when fur trappers would converge on Anchorage to sell their wares, hence the name "Fur Rendevous." A couple people we know even ended up running with the reindeer!
