Hundreds attend sled dog races in Inlet
The pleasure of having these races held here in the area for the second year in a row is great! Stop by - and say hi to sled dog artist Pam LaCombe-Connell and her family (including 7 dogs)- and tell her racing thirteen year old son that we hope the sled doesn't tip again today!

Does the moon ever leak? Let's hope not! See below...

On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon will enter the Earth’s shadow producing a total lunar eclipse. The Moon will begin to enter the shadow at 8:43 pm EST producing a progressing partial eclipse. Totality will begin at 10:01 pm. The Moon will turn a delightful shade of red when totally immersed in the Earth’s shadow due to the bending of our Sun’s red light by our atmosphere. At 10:51 pm the Moon will begin to leave the Earth’s shadow. If the weather permits, experience for yourself this awesome alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon. This is the last total lunar eclipse until Dec. 2010.

Any poems about the Red Moon? The poem below sounds like the early 70's, doesn't it? Or are these thoughts ageless?
Red Moon
by
Diane C. Hundertmark
When the moon is red
and the sky is gray
Then my friend
it is time to pray
When the sun is white
and the sky is red
It is time for us to let
ourselves be led
By the one
who carries the sun
When the world runs red
and it drips of blood
Then it is time
for the spirit of peace to come
It will cleanse the earth
and restore it to
It's once brillant
and natural hue
It will call to the powers
and all that lives
Uniting them together
in the now holy lands
The spirit -- is love
and I am you
Together
we shall build
the world anew

2 month anniversary
Yesterday was not a good day. 2 month anniversary of my niece's death from leukemia. Got $460 fuel oil bill for the month of January. Found out that the local paper messed up on a half page ad. Blew a presentation to the town board, and had a fight with my boyfriend.
So, I have a choice.
I can sit here wallowing in remorse.
Or, I can climb.
.... have boots, will travel

An "Arghhhhh" joke (?) Posted ONLY because I am about to pay my Health Insurance Bill, which at $455 monthly - didn't cover last month's hospital bill
Trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a bottle on a beach and picked it up.Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said "Master, may I grant you one wish?"
"You ignorant, unworthy daughter-of-a-dog! Don't you know who I am? I don't need any common woman giving me anything" barked Bin Laden. The shocked genie said "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to that bottle forever."
Osama thought a moment, then grumbled about the impertinence of the woman and said "Very well, I want to awaken with three American women in my bed in the morning. So just do it and be off with you!"
The annoyed genie said, "So be it !" and disappeared. The next morning Bin Laden woke up in bed with: Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding, and Hillary Clinton. His p*nis was gone, his knees were broken, and he had no health insurance.
God is good.

ARgghhh! I am planning an event this September based on something begun in England, called National "Talk Like A Pirate" Day. My friend Fritz Henry (he's in my list of favorite solo performers - if you scroll down this blog)...
is going to perform at this (he is great at talking like a pirate). Well, I could give him a run for his money this morning. It's early. My old (only 4 months old) computer is now resting in Davey Jone's locker, and I just ordered a notebook from Dell. The good news? My new business has a better credit rating than I do. The bad news? I had to choose between purchasing a computer and paying my hospital bills from surgery last month. Hillary, you better straighten out the health care system if and when you make it to the top.
Because I make a living here thanks to the computer, you can see why this was a no-brainer decision. However... "ARGHHHH!" and "Shiver me TIMBERS?" ... makes you wanna walk the plank.
Anyway, speaking of "the top" - this morning, I am going to don my rain gear and climb. No, not a 46er. But up Bald Mountain. Super Bowl weekend was a caloric orgy. . . but man, wasn't that final catch wonderful? I have a new respect for these guys. Not only are they in top shape, but they know how to stay focused.
Not a bad thing. . . (ARGHHH!)
