• Off the Hook – with Iditarod Update (possibly the last one of 2009)

  Greyfox turned on his phone, got my messages, and decided to stay in Wasilla today.  I called the clinic and canceled our appointments.  The ashfall advisory has been extended to noon, so ours are probably not the only cancellations due to volcano this morning.

  Instead of the fatigue and aggravation of going to the clinic, and probably days of recovery afterward, I can make a fresh batch of gluten-free sugarless muffins (love my bean flour!) today, and there will be plenty of time to find details from yesterday’s Iditarod Awards Banquet (image below from iditarod.com) and blog about it.

  

  UPDATE at 10:41 AM:
  On second thought, if you want to know who won what (it was mostly a sweep by Lance Mackey), you can find the official awards at iditarod.com.  Last time I checked the standings, everyone still on the trail was either out of White Mountain on the way to Nome, or waiting out the mandatory layover in White Mountain.  Heather Siirtola moved out in front of Tim Hunt, and will be eligible to leave White Mountain almost two hours before he is.  Unless I tell you otherwise, you may assume that Dr.Tim gets the Red Lantern.

  I have something else to blog about.

  Later.
