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.

Papa Bob, aka “Macho Man” has a subscription to Woman’s Day now. I’m glad, because that means he read this Father’s Day column. It is a gray windy day, but clear enough for me to fly in a few hours to Juneau, spend the night with my daughter Eliza and then fly on up to Anchorage and Homer tomorrow for the Kachemak Bay Writers’ Conference.
