I'm BACK!

I have to apologize for being away so long. June happened and then July and then and then and now, October is just around the bend. I'm going to try hard to blog at least once a week.

In July, we took a ferry trip up the Inside Passage to Skagway, Juneau, and Sitka. I plan to put up posts of each leg of the trip.

But in the meantime, fall has arrived in Ketchikan - no blazing New England foliage, just the yellow of the aspens and red of some isolated maples. But the air is crisp, and any day now, I expect to see snow at the top of Deer Mountain. I remember riding my bike last fall to the rec center, rounding the corner and there it was - gorgeous white peaks stretched against the sky.

Last Saturday was the season's first Torchlight Cultural Arts presentation. Robert and I walked to the bottom of our hill to the high school where we saw Maya Soleil, an Afro-World Fusion Music and Dance group. They were terrific.
