First-world problems: my new Apple Extreme router is tall enough that I had to move the gigabit Ethernet switch two spaces higher on the rack in my home’s networking closet.

Oh, yum. Came home to still warm fresh baked bread, with the homemade fireweed jelly we got from my friend Thumper (AnnaMaria) when we were in Anchorage. So good!

Bird, meet window. Window, meet bird. (The bird was fine, flew right away. I just couldn’t help but be amused at the almost cartoon-like near perfection of the smudge.)

Yum! Sausages, ginger carrots, garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes, fresh corn, and homemade rosemary bread. I am so spoiled when Prairie’s on vacation and decides to spend a day cooking! (And the rest of the time too, really.)

Definitely think I’ve hit maximum beard for me; thanks to my curls, the right side of my face is distinctly fluffier than the left. Time to trim!

Under the heading of things I probably should be embarrassed about but aren’t: I was amused enough to actually pick up a dorky souvenir Alaska shirt. :) Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Batmoose!
