On the transition from the Silicon to the Tanana Valley, from urban to rural life, and from working in industry to being a full-time student to working in academia. If you see your name or photo on this blog and want it removed, please let me know and I will do so!

Conversations at the Denali Center
Conversation #1:
"You're probably gonna start having kids soon."
Uhhh... no. (Bless him, he obviously thought I was a 20-something newlywed.)
"Then in a few years."
Uhhh... no.
"Then you will adopt."
Maybe.
"Okay! That's why I tell you these stories! So you can pass 'em on!"
:~D
Conversation #2:
Uncle, I saw the teams taking off from Tanana on their way to Fur Rondy.
"You gonna go race?"
No... I don't race. I keep dogs on my couch.
"Oh... you gonna go watch?"
No... I... don't like Anchorage.
"I don't like Anchorage either. In Anchorage, you walk down the street, you say hello to people, they ignore you."
