Being There
Wow What a Summer last August-Alaska is a lot like pizza. When it's good, it's really good.
When it's bad, it's still pretty good; and like the Pizza Guy, Alaska always delivers.
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe videos. Nature's living mirror, however is water---whether still or in motion,The most beautiful landscapes go better with H 2 Ooooooooh!
The Happy go Locals don't tan, they rust, and if they smoke, they smoke salmon.The cruisers who inhabit this place for 6 hours a day may have come on different ships, but they are all in the same boat-Mother Nature's.

Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean-John Muir
When you lived so little you tend to imagine you’re not going to die. But wasting your time concentrating on death is like watching a comedy and thinking only about the credits that are going to roll at the end. It’s a mistake of emphasis.
I like entering THAT magic field called “Eureka” enjoying the sweet lightness of being when you are the universe. My attitude creates my altitude and that makes me longitude my gratitude. Let me 'splan: Longitude spans all seven continents and so have I. Energy flow where attention goes.
