• Breakup Blues

  
  

  Mud and the smell of defrosting dog droppings is making my beloved home neighborhood here less than attractive.

  
  

  Sometimes Alaska is not my #1 preferred place to be.  There’s nowhere else I’d rather live full-time, but it’s a big planet and no single place is the best to be every moment of every year.

  

  Whenever I don’t want to be here, the place I do want to be is usually somewhere in the Four Corners area of the Lower 48, where I was at home in a series of my past lives, where my descendants from those lives still live, and where I have had many good times this time around.

  
  

  This week I’d like to be in Albuquerque.  Thursday is the Miss Indian World pageant.  Then Friday and Saturday is the 20th Annual Gathering of Nations PowWow.
