Valdez, Alaska
I'm a creative soul living life in Alaska.
Interests: I love trying new things and have played with fiber arts, quilting, fused glass, stained glass, lampworking, and a variety of other art forms. I'm also a budding adult athlete (after a childhood of inactivity) and indulge in bicycling, triathlon, hiking, skiing, and occaisonal attempts at running. I also enjoy reading nearly anything and writing about my experiences (hence this blog).

True, Adrienne, very true. You're welcome.
Big Odyssey Attempt
It's not really a hike if you don't fear for your life, right? Oh, maybe that's a better definition of a death march. Or, in my case, either. The two often seem to be one and the same. After a failed attempt to find Marshall Pass with Don several days ago due to excessive (in my opinion) verti...

Mumble, mumble years ago is right! I don’t remember said doughnuts, but I’ll take your word for it. Sounds good. We should arrange a retest opportunity.
Oil Spill Bread
Oil tankers loading at the Valdez Marine Terminal Dang, I didn't realize it had been almost a month since I last wrote. I'm such a slacker. I do have one excuse. For the past 12 days we've been out on our fishing boat working on the response to a small oil spill at the Valdez Marine Terminal...

Thanks for reading, Irene. If your starter's not working, you might try refreshing it with 1c water and 1c flour every day for a week. Each day, reserve 1/2-1 c of the starter, add fresh water and flour, mix and let it sit overnight. Discard the rest of the starter that you're not saving. It might just need to be fed more. It's worth a try.
Baking Bread
As I type, a bowl of warm bread dough is rising in my oven. It is a miracle. Every loaf of bread is a miracle. A few years ago, I purchased Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads,revised and expanded, mind you. It has sat on my cookbook shelf, like most of my cookbooks, completely ignored...

I totally understand that. Right now, I need to be spending more time on my computer and in my studio, but that sunshine keeps calling me. Oh, well, it will all balance out in the end.
Life Began at 37
At some point in time as we chatted while hiking Crow Pass, I mentioned to Jenny that I hadn’t been active for all that many years. It was only as a middle-aged adult that I started being more athletic. I knew what event precipitated the whole odyssey, but I wasn’t sure exactly when. This even...
A whole year and more to get ready - plenty of time! If you want to be in shape for walking, you need to go walking on a regular basis. Do we need to set walking dates a few days per week?

Uncomfortable, hmmm? Would undies be better? Most of the log crossings we could use our poles to help balance, but we had to be quick on several because the logs wanted to sink and/or roll. Thanks for reading!
Crow Pass 2 Turbid Creek to Icicle Creek
“I saw the brush moving in the middle of the night and was sure it was a bear going after our food,” Jenny said after I’d pulled our intact food bags up from where she’d hung them off the side of the bridge over Turbid Creek. “I kept imagining that we were having a huge earthquake and the bridge...
Good for you! That's what it's all about. I felt the same way about doing the storytelling event in May.
Year of Fear
Choosing a word to define the upcoming year has become a popular New Year's activity over the past decade. Typically, these words are intended to focus the individual's attention on manifesting something they want to foster in their life: gratitude, creativity, love, or other positive attributes...
