I live and write on Lingít Aaní, and gratefully acknowledge the past, present and future caretakers of this beautiful place, the Jilkaat Kwaan and Jilkoot Kwaan.

First, my dog Merry did die, yesterday afternoon, peacefully, with Forte (and me) by her side. A full obituary will run tomorrow. If you want some light reading, here’s my latest Alaska Dispatch column. Also, I did watch Gold Rush Alaska Friday, and will write up that review soon, too. In the meantime, the basketball teams both lost their games with Sitka this weekend,  the cold may have been broken some by last night’s snowfall,  (I’ll see on my way to Morning Muscles) and the swim team is looking for timers for this weekend’s big winter games meet.
