So, Mike is leaving in the morning for Sitka. I really wish I could go with him. I love Sitka, and I haven’t been there in awhile. However, I am stuck with working this week. So Mike is going to leave in the morning to go over to the ferry with my dad. Then he will be back on Friday night on the ferry. So until then I will be at home, lonely, with my mom but oh well. This trip to Sitka should open up more opportunities for Mike which is good.
So this week you will be seeing more blogs from me because I promised Mike a blog every day while he was gone.
I also wanted to post on here tonight that I found the picture of Mike, Bryce, Me, and Dick on Anchorage Daily News with Mike’s first Halibut. It was very interesting. I am guessing Bryce must have submitted it. You can view it at
I also ran across this old site of Sam’s that had our old Romania stuff on it… The journal from our group, and some photos and whatnot. I plan to do something with my Romania stuff, and my photos here in a few weeks. It is at I bought Ilife 09 and it sounds like it will have a lot of great options for designing a webpage with that stuff on it. So you can look forward to seeing that. Anyways, I think I am going to head off to bed. Hope you all had a great weekend, and a great week ahead of you. Oh yeah, and we also had two people die this past month in Coffman Cove. Very unusual. It’s kinda sad, as everyone here kinda seems like family because you know them so well.

Everyone in life dies, it’s just a given fact. However, it always seem that those that make the greatest impressions on your life are the ones that die sooner than others. I dont know, maybe its just a way of god telling us that they’ve done their job here on earth. Well, Anyways, what brings up the talk of death today.
Last year, I got to know a guy, Aaron Schad, fairly well. I had known him for years, but just never had really taken the time to get to know him until last year. When I begun working on as a deckhand. And there he was going fishing with us everyday. He was a great guy, who I greatly enjoyed being around. He seemed to have a great heart, and cared about people. Anyways, I will truly miss him this year, as he died from his fight against cancer Friday and will no longer be able to join us in our fishing adventures this year. However, he will be there in heart, and will always be someone that I will remember.
Anyways, found his Obituary online if you are interested in veiwing it and learning a little bit about the guy.
Well, anyways, I think I’m out to find something else to do… Since I can’t sleep right now, and well… Im bored.
