Let's Try This Again

Ok, I completely dropped the ball on my blog. I have been sprinting to get life to a manageable pace, and I think I'm getting there, slowly. Well, that's partly it, but my own inconsistency and tendency to not follow things through is, I'm sure, a major factor. I had also chosen a blog site that didn't allow me to see how many people were following or get comments from them, so I thought maybe no one was interested (yes, Mr. Horner, you were right on again). After a couple of comments just this weekend expressing disappointment over my languishing blog, I'm encouraged to try again.

The highlight this weekend is the new PBS series The National Parks: America's Best Idea. One of the highlighted parks is our own Kobuk Valley National Park. Of course, the whole National Park Service is promoting this and hoping for renewed interest in and support of the parks. With Ken Burns as director, this is supposed to be a good series. I don't know his other work, but I've heard good reviews. The shows start tomorrow on PBS and run two hours per day for six days.

This also means I'll be working. Kristen is at the Visitor Center today for a preview in case anyone in town is interested. We've tried to lure people there with donuts. The rest of the week we'll be showing the PBS broadcast. Of course people can watch it from home, but we do have popcorn and juice and are projecting it onto a big screen with decent sound. I have the first episode tomorrow night.
