ugh. I knew the health news wasn't going to be great, I didn't think it would nearly cripple me with it's weight of bad possibilities. Not only am I too young to be worrying this much about my health, but sheez...always with the hassles. I know I should stop bitching, but I'll do that later.

In other news, my old roommate and I met up with a couple of pilots at the DEW line site and ended up chatting with them for a few hours over drinks at the beach, next to the rotting carcass of the Bowhead Whale the villagers caught while I was on vacation. I had wanted to see it and took a few photos, which I will post another time. It reminded me of industrial waste. And I really couldn't fathom the size of the jaw bones. Just think, people used to use those for rafters in their sod houses a million years ago.

So, we made plans to get together again tomorrow night. But it promises to be a fun night of laughing and music playing like last week. And god knows, I'm prepared now. We had shared a sealift order of wine, ordering for the whole year. I thought I was ordering an 'ok' amount which turned out to be 5 cases of wine. I doubt I will get through it all (but then you never know, winters are long and hard up here) but it was definitely interesting. We took photos of that as well, stay tuned for the next entry.

oooh, almost home time.
