This isn’t New York City, there aren’t landmarks all over the place for tourists to see, but there are a few. Around Memorial Day last year my former roommate Leah, dear friend Bre and I took a drive down Council Road and stopped for a quick photo op at “The Last Train to Nowhere.” Sometimes [...]

The Morning Show and More Bad Fruit
The Morning Show Things are going well on The Morning Show. I host the show on weekdays from 6 until 10. Even if you can’t quite get our signal from where you are, you can head on over to our new website for The Morning Show and get all the latest on what went on [...]
Caught Doing Something Good
Caught Doing Something Good, or CDSG for short, is KNOM’s newest show that began airing this past February. To date, 6 episodes of the show have aired and, like Elder Voices, another show on KNOM, it airs once a month. I came up with the idea for the show one winter afternoon after hearing a [...]
Let’s Go For a Hike
Wandering down the country roads that surround Nome is one of my favorite things to do. I love being able to meander through the magnificent Alaskan countryside and then pull over on the side of the road and hike whatever hill I please. Hiking in the spring can be a little wet and a little [...]
The Play is the Thing
January and February got a little tedious this year.

I don’t own a cell phone, I’ve never sent a text message (other than the occasional disasterous [...]
Bad Fruit and Too Much Chess
When my roommate asked me earlier this winter if I wanted to purchase a chess board I reluctantly accepted because I didn’t think we would get our moneys worth out of it. Boy, was I wrong. To stave off the boredom of the dark, cold days this winter we’ve sat down for no less than [...]
Iditarod Arrives in Nome
Mushers in Iditarod 40 began arriving in Nome on Tuesday evening. Since then, as of this posting, 35 mushers have crossed under the burled arch on Front Street in Nome and have completed the nearly 1,000 mile journey from Anchorage to Nome. There are still 18 mushers on the trail and they are slowly but [...]
The Prodigal Sun Returns
A welcomed relief come February and March is the return of a decent amount of daylight. In December, Western Alaska deals with less than four hours of daylight which can start to take a depressing toll on a person. Now; however, in March we are quickly gaining daylight, more than 6 minutes each day, and [...]
