Cowboy ahead - I am not on the road to Fairbanks

Wasilla, Alaska, by 300 in Wasilla, traffic

Here I am in severe retreat mode. No time to blog. Two weeks ago, I had made up my mind that by today Margie and I would either be in Fairbanks or on the road to Fairbanks, to take in the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics 50th anniversary games.

But it is impossible. I can't go. If I do, I will not finish what I must finish by the time it must be finished.

So here I am, driving down Sunrise, behind a cowboy.

Go, Olympians! I will be with you in spirit, and there will be many photographers present. Your accomplishments this week will be well documented.
