When's the next flight to Laponsko?

Better question: WHERE IS LAPONSKO?  Whatever, I'm on it.  Want to come along?  Can you even imagine the following sights and scenery?!!!

Lapland, here I come!  

Thanks, Kathi, for alerting me to this incredible travel tip!   I think it could be colder there than where I am right now.

Back from the brink of extinction

Thanks to breeding a captive colony of birds and banning DDT, the Bald Eagle has made a comeback from fewer than 450 nesting couples to more than 4,000 adult pairs.  It's still pretty remarkable to spot one in the wilderness. 

We had that opportunity this past week in Colorado. 

Wow.

Hey, here's to your weekend.  

Michael Crawford sings.  I never really listened carefully to the words.  Whoa.  

Wait, I think I sang this song in the choir.  Different context. Equally poignant. And powerful.

  

 Fly free, friends.
