A Quiet New Years at Home

A quiet new years with the family and the dogs. What more can a guy ask for? The next day was followed by a potluck at a family friends house. In addition I have enjoyed the theatrical wonders of the area. I can honestly say it is a little different than isolated Alaska.

Work is still going well. It has been a lot of work getting medical to were HS1 Capra wants it to be, but the work is finally showing. It is good experience and I am thankful for the opportunity. We are on a normal work routine again and the fog is absolutely incredible. Some may say it is horrible weather because it is not good for flying, but I think it is beautiful weather. Especially as it burns off and reveals the blue sky above.

The potluck went well. It was a good group of people at the Fox Trotter Ranch. I set the record for the ski jump on the Wii. Three hundred and eleven yards, no one else came close. It is probably the only game I was any good at, but I won, so that is all that matters.

Later that week I saw “Wicked” in the city. It was an incredible show. The Staging, the acting it was absolutely stunning. I have not seen many plays in my life, but this was well worth the money. It was a very interesting twist on the “Wizard of Oz,” very well written and asked some very pressing questions about human behavior.

Last but not least I saw the film “Avatar” in Imax 3D. The graphics are incredible, fully rendered in 3D. The story is nothing original or revolutionary, but it is a great film nonetheless. I saw it twice with two groups and will probably see it again with someone else. It is well worth seeing.

But I doubt you came on to hear about a film and a Broadway show. Life is great overall. I am with the family. I am very content. I did see one thing that did not appear in Alaska. Even in the bay area, there are wildlife sightings. A Golden Eagle perched on the stations gate and was kind enough to let me get some photographs. As you can see, it was a very beautiful animal.



No matter where you are, life is full of opportunities and adventure.
