Been a busy few weeks. I've gotten my house all cleaned up with the exception of a few little spots like the top of my dresser. Even all my laundry except changing my sheets is done. That in itself is a huge accomplishment for me. I'm not the worlds best house keeper. I get so over whelmed and then just don't know what to do or where to start. It's in really good shape now. Hopefully I can keep it this way for a time.
The other thing I've been up to is keeping up with some of the sled dog races. I got hooked last year and am really enjoying it even more this year. The Yukon Quest is currently underway and I really am amazed at the strength of the teams. Two particular guys are bouncing back and forth for first place it will be intresting to see which one actually wins. Sometime tomorrow they should make it into the finish. Lance Mackey won it the last few years and is back and forth in the lead with Ken Anderson. I'm really impressed with both of them and their dogs. Ken Anderson has a great kennel site that is doing wonderfully well posting updates about not just him but those close to him in the race. Both of these mushers will be running in the Iditarod that starts March 1. Also plan on trying to keep an eye on the Jr. Iditarod as well. It starts a few days before the Iditarod and isn't quite as long.
Dream vacation would be to go to both races but that will never happen would cost too much to live in alaska for 2 months.
