Merry Pugmas!

Hey KPen, the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank has two more pop up mobile food pantries ahead of the holiday. #KPen #Alaska

Merry Christmas Adam (or Merry Christmas Eve Eve, depending how you celebrate)!!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E! (This is my youngest neice "helping" Grampa with the wrapping paper.)

if they had just shown it on 60 Minutes nobody would have seen it

So far, 11 people have dropped out of the Copper Basin, but the race is still full (and there's one person left on the waiting list). Eyeballing who's dropped out, it looks like many are dealing with challenging training conditions: frigid weather in the Yukon, lack of snow in south central AK.

An Anchorage man and youth sports coach facing charges of sexually abusing minors may have victimized others who have yet to come forward, police said.

🥶🥶🥶

😒😒😒😒🥶

I wish i was better at fake flower arranging. Trying to make festive hanging baskets.

And with that I am DONE with holiday baking for 2025.

Guess who’s all grown up, and led the team for for the first time last night? Potato absolutely crushed it! I’m so proud! @ataokennel.bsky.social

For dog mushing aficionados, I've added the Two Rivers Dog Mushers' Solstice 50 mushers to the combined race roster spreadsheet. The race is on Sunday and it looks like it will be very cold. We do have good snow here but in cold weather the snow gets slow. There's a real mix of teams!

#Imagineering has lost one of its greatest talent with the passing of #EddieSotto, who was both a colleague and friend. We spent a night where Eddie gave his time and suggestions for #RocknRollerCoaster when it was due to open. Eddie will be missed.

I want a president who doesn't get all of their "great" ideas from movies.

From Iditarod to Westminster. I think y'all might recognize this one. www.alaskasnewssource.com/2025/12/18/w... #DogSports #MusherSky #UglyDogs

So... what are we watching tonight? Need some ideas while I bake cookies.

Molasses Crinkle Cookies. WDW recipe. Before oven and after.

ICYMI, they've hit their original goal, but IMO the goal was set low considering time of year and how much it costs to construct anything.

6.1666666666666... dozen cookies.

Move it to Fairbanks! (I guess that kind of defeats the point ... ). Solstice 50 is this weekend if folks want to come up to Two Rivers. It's been chilly and ADMA has cancelled sprint races, but the Solstice will happen regardless.

Iditarod veteran Samantha Lalonde's cabin burned down. No humans or doggos were lost but everything else in the cabin... There's a GFM. #MusherSky #UglyDogs #SledDogs #Alaska gofund.me/50c707545

#Knik100 has been canceled due to (lack of) trail conditions. South Central could really use a snow dance. The #Knik200 could be in jeopardy if the region doesn't see significant snow soon. The 200 is scheduled for the 3rd of January. #MusherSky #Alaska #DogSports #SledDogs

Ended up with 74 of these. Now to get some sleep.

Pecan Sandies going in the oven.

I know money's tight this year, but my friend who is like my older brother is trying to help out a family in his community. He's a legit good dude (and the original moose guy jr back when we were teens). If you can spare a dollar or two, or just boost this, I'd appreciate it. gofund.me/8e8732650

Power outage that for a short time killed cell service. Service back but power not so much. Wind is nuts.

Watching When Harry Met Sally for New Year's is going to hit differently this time around...

I need a detroit miracle.

Yesterday dad and I walked into the Dimond Mall to find them doing the annual skating club show. As we were walking I heard the announcer say their next guest was a 2 time national champion from Canada and I immediately knew it was Keegan Messing!!! I went full fangirl mode and hoofed it to the rink

All of dads hard work at his and mine has been ripped apart in these winds. Lights fell off my tree, and thr wind yeeted dad's manger scene at his. 😫🥴🫨

Hello friends! I've been keeping this under wraps for a long time, but finally ready to share. Watkins has Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), the same disease @beccaj.bsky.social 's Snotty had. I am working with the University of Minnesota to research PCD in Alaskan Huskies. gofund.me/64be706ff

The Millenial feeling when you are doing very well in your life but left with this ever present sense that something is going to come along and make it all crash and burn.

In Anchorage for dad and my somewhat new tradition of marathon cmas shopping. Heres hoping i am done after today.

This what my dad did to their house. Not pictured is the nativity set up (he managed to fix all the damage from the storm).

2004 Iditarod Red Lantern winner Perry Solmonson is at opening night of Triumverate Theater's White Christmas!

Bing Crosby or Danny Kaye?

Tonight is Triumvirate Theatre's opening night of "White Christmas". I got a sneak peek at last night's dress rehearsal and I'm so impressed with the talent in our community (as always). Tonight's show is the least expensive ticket & seats are still available. www.ticketleap.events/tickets/triu...

A Digest: How do skaters in different countries qualify for Olympic spots? Well, every country has a different selection process - take a look at this for the summary of procedures (incl sources) + my Rocker Splainer video bit.ly/4oJEptV #MilanoCortina2026

My boss was one of the 2024 sabbatical recipients. Was one of the best things to happen for her and our organization.

The Rasmuson Foundation has announced its 2025 Individual Artist Awards and 2026 sabbatical recipients.

Taking pics at Triumvirate for their White Christmas dress rehearsal when i spy on facebook the street/intersection I take to my house is closed due to large police presence. Kinda glad Im here as whatever happened happened around the time I am normally coming home. 😬
