This is my favorite time of year. Fall means donning warm sweaters, listening to the rustling of dry, colorful leaves on your front lawn, and enjoying the last few weeks of greenery and sunshine filled days. Unless you live in Nome. I’m not quite sure, but I think autumn came at [...]

News Radio Voice
If you heard Brian Williams or Diane Sawyer say, “Tonight on ABC, Obama in Syria, unemployment on the rise, and a tiger visits the moon,” you would think, yes, that did happen, and you would want to hear more–because they read it with the voice. The confident and authoritative tone, the masterful control of emphasis and pacing, [...]
Nome Traffic Report
Both my university and my job were close to were I lived, yet my total daily commute used to take two to three hours on an average day. If something crazy happened, like say, rain, there was no say when I’d get home. If you’ve lived in or near a city in the continental United [...]

Mooseloaf – It’s What’s for Dinner!
I went on something of a cooking kick this weekend – making everything from Risotto to Pita Bread to Mooseloaf over the course of several days. Since we didn’t even have moose meat until Saturday night, that’s saying something. I’m not really sure where this interest in cooking came from, but it’s been wonderful to [...]
