New Column is Up

The new column is up at the Alaska Dispatch, and I kind of like this one. Sometimes I don’t, but I have to come up with something each week, and while I know I should plan ahead, I don’t always.  Also, it is snowing and raining again. My friend Tom says we should put the lights back up and have a Christmas dinner next Sunday. That way, he reckons, when spring really does come it will seem early, rather than late. On the other hand, the heli-skiers are waiting for clear skies to get to that new fifteen feet or so of powder this week of weather has left.  I heard that the other night one of them (or one of their photographers) rang the bell at the Fogcutter bar for free drinks for everyone– fourteen times.
