Give or take two or three days, and you can fly from Iowa to Chicago. Of course, getting to Chicago may or may not mean anything whence you get there.

This:

= Not Fun

Well, try to get some R and R, RR

From me and my family to all of you and yours, Merry Christmas. And if Christmas isn't your thing, have a Happy Haunakah (sp?) or a wonderful Kwanza.

Merry Christmas, everybody

And I hope you enjoyed your Festivus too.

I probably disagree with you.

Viva la Festivus...

ahhh the sacred pole

Don't be lonesome for your heroes. Be your own hero.

I had a good Festivus

The Airing of Grievances went as well as could be expected, but the Feats of Strength got a little ugly. Oh well, happy holidays.

I probably disagree with you.

Some real winter weather here. Nikiski is oddly protected from the full fury of these North Pacific storms (mountains, "downsloping", etc.), but we still feel them. Kodiak, on the other hand, is wide open to them.

If you know how to read METAR, this is an aviation nightmare; welcome to Kodiak:

Season Ticket for Christmas

It just doesn't get better than that.

I have been thinking about trying to find some friends to split one of those 24 game partial season tickets with. I think the price basically comes down to about $15 per game for really good seats. Plus, it would be so nice to call myself a season ticket holder.
