I stepped into the house at about 1:30 this morning, looked down the hall and saw Jimmy step out of our bedroom. He saw me, and came bounding straight to me. Since then, he has refused to leave me alone, whether I be sleeping, eating, feeding fish, computering or whatever.
He is simply all over me - climbing on my lap, my shoulders, stepping onto my keyboard.
And now I must leave him again.
It is off to Tok I go, where Ahtna Matriarch Katie John, also known as Alaska's Rosa Parks for her long fight to take back her traditional fishing rights after the state tried to take them away, will be honored. On Sunday, she will receive her honorary PhD from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
And congratulations to Saggan crew in Barrow for landing a whale this morning.
I wish it had come while I was still there with you on the ice, but the important thing is that it came and the people of Barrow now have that much more to sustain them.
I know - the picture is a blur. I don't care. Seems appropriate to me. Life's a blur.
