17 Hours

We've officially passed the 17 hour of daylight mark... sunrise about 0530, sunset about 2240. It makes for quite the time warp in the evening. My mission this weekend is to buy light blocking curtains for the bedroom (which faces the east). It's been difficult to find purple ones, so I might just have to settle for black.

As you can see from the pictures below, we've been very busy exploring. I've kept busy finishing up orientation and I started working on the floor this week. It's great to be back with patients, especially the tiny ones. I'm looking forward to taking my own patient load and becoming more familiar with the unit. It's been quite busy there on the OB unit, at least a few births a day. Cody's continued to be busy at work; getting home before 7 is a rarity. The course opens the back nine on full greens tomorrow, and with the nice weather we've had the last couple days, this weekend is looking very busy for him. All is going well though, he's been excited to be involved in all the changes and continues to come up with more ways to improve the course.

We're open to visitors too :) So anybody looking to vacation up here, just let us know and we'll check our reservation schedule.

And an early congrats to Erin on her hooding ceremony tomorrow! I dedicate the following moose montage to you:

Point Woronzof

Only one picture of this one- I was still hurting after flipping over the handlebars of the bike after I slammed on the brakes when I spotted him. I have the bruises to prove it.
Believe it or not, there's a momma bear with two cubs at the edge line of the grove

Lazy Sunday, obvs

Moose on our coastal trail walk. Shortly thereafter, a growly moose would block the trail and force us to venture into the woods to make it back to the road

We were able to spot Mt McKinley today from the course, some 200 miles north of Anchorage- what a sight!

  1. 1. I did not know that moose could growl.

    2. SAYING that there's a bear in the picture does not satisfy the "pictures or it didn't happen" standard.

    3. A+++++++++ montage, would laugh again.
