Eskimo Countdown: 3 Days

Yes, this is Waz's away message. We are all (both of us and our friends Waz and J) looking forward to a trip home. I keep telling myself, Saturday these problems will seem like nothing. This attitude seems to be greasing the wheels of science, and things are starting to glide into place. Hopefully a guilt free week of relaxing, hiking and eating fish awaits.

Before then, we obviously need to sort through the normal travel stuff, like laundry and packing. I like doing laundry to go on a trip though. Raoul will be fed by the upstairs neighbors. We have some loose plans for the week- visit to Skagway, hike to the Mendenhall, ride the tram, Wildlife Cruise (thanks DAD!!). Waz and J are eager to experience and otherwise very laid back people- perfect travel partners.

Reading the Empire lately leads me to believe we'll be cowering in the cold and dark and damp the entire week, but the parents haven't made any mention of turning off the breakers when they leave the house or anything. When are those downed power lines going to get fixed, anyway??

What I don't have yet is any good travel reading- I'd like some of it not to be science reading. Any recommendations?

I'm afraid I don't have too much to offer. I've been on a 'Graphic Novel' bender for the past few weeks. You know those shelves upon shelves of anime-styled comic collections you see on the shelves of Barnes and Noble? They have a lot of them in the libraries down here. He he. Sure it's the literary equivalent of junk food (and I don't pay much attention to the art so I read through them *real* fast) but I'm enjoying them *en masse* and saving a TON of money in the process.
