Another Hottie

I just have to post this one. I should be writing and doing some critiquing, but this one always makes me smile.

Maithe's favorite hottie.

Ain't he cute?

Only a few days left, so get those entries in! I'm digging through my email to what to post next. I'm also gathering together the contents of two gift baskets. Don't forget about the drawing for our History Mystery starring Jean Baptiste Morgan! Hop over to The Morgan Diaries and cast your vote by Thursday.

I'm so Behind...

A quickie three day trip to college visit will do that do a person. I can report that Fairbanks is getting very cold these days. Still balmy for them, but chilly for us who live on the coast.

On the way there, we saw this glorious sight, and I can tell you, in no way does my dinky little camera do justice to this landscape. The grandeur must be experienced to be believed. Still, the mountain should be recognizable. Tell me both names it is known by and get your name into the drawing for the grand prize to be awarded on Oct 29.

This gorgeous mountain wasn't the only sight of great beauty we saw. As we drove North into ever increasing chill and darkness, sunset comes earlier and earlier each day, on top of the perfectly clear skies, we saw the moonrise. One night past full, it was huge and bright. It kept us company, helping light the highway the rest of the way into Fairbanks.

Send in those blond haired hunks! And find me some unusualy trivia about Alaska... there's lots to know!
