i hope that you think about your actions, how you do normal,...

12/24/10--four years in kotzebue
last friday, Christmas eve, marked exactly four years in kotzebue. that’s four years living above the arctic circle, in a hunter’s dream land; four years since i left my job as a responsible thinking classroom teacher in togiak.
thank you saima for a great four years. thank you kotzebue for a great four years. i believe kotzebue is my new home, now and indefinitely.

cherish him, cherish her, cherish them
i’ll be honest with you, this week i’ve been feeling very sentimental, or emotional, if you will. i’m not sure what it is, but i’ve had this feeling that everyone we know and love should live ‘forever.’
don’t take life for granted. love one another. cherish those you love.
