19 moose have been taken so far, and as Chip says, none of them are ours. But we are off to try again this weekend, which is why I will miss my friend Seth Kantner’s talk at the library at 3 on Saturday, but you should go, Seth will be reading from his new collection of essays. (The Ordinary Wolves author contributes to the Alaska Dispatch News and Orion among other journals.) I figure the guy who wrote Shopping for Porcupine will totally understand why I’m off at camp instead of at the library, and I bet he knows that it really doesn’t have that much to do with adding our moose to the total. ( Although that would ne nice.)
