She's steaming! And it's snowing!

"Seismic intensity from Redoubt volcano picked up strongly around midday today, and scientists are keeping a close eye on the mountain southwest of Anchorage." - ADN

Webcam. Alyeska. going riding tomorrow (hopefully) for the first time since I got all the hardware removed from my battered little knee.

I'd like you to notice two things Not going on in this photo: It's not snowing, and there isn't a volcano threatening to erupt.
Couldn't post an Anchorage photo with that description. I miss San Diego.
Maybe all this volcanic activity has something to do with the Earthquake that shook me awake Saturday morning on my birthday. That was actaully kind of cool though, and no one was hurt, it just felt like getting a little sloshed in a fishbowl. But this volcano business... please? Where are we? Buy extra air filters for your cars, cover electronics, take out your contacts, wear a mask, because volcanic ash is essentially small bits of glass.
My favorite part so far has been all the company wide emails instructing us what to do.
What I'D like to do is go back to San Diego - go on this walk again, and stick a person in this shot. Any volunteers?

birthday

i had this slow sensation waking up this morning and realized i have incredible friends in anchorage. thank you especially to brian + ro for hosting a fun times party saturday night. it was so fun to finally meet marian after hearing about her. and kris with his homemade chocolate shot glasses that were crazy cool, even though it made my fingers sticky. and all the help with the cupcakes that were a funny hit. and the power singing/dancing. who would have thought total eclipse of the heart would still be fun on round 4. and even being completely thrown down in the kitchen, and picked up and dropped a few more times then my knee would have liked. brendan, you were missed.
i heart the adam brothers, here's to my mini anchorage family, and please please please let's keep sunday dinner alive.
