I’ve attended many games and matches over the years – soccer, basketball, football, baseball, tennis, wrestling, etc. – having raised two sons who were very active in sports. Basketball was my favorite of these activities and continues to be so today. The sport is quick, exciting, and easy to follow. And it’s held inside, which rules out any issues with weather.

Gold was discovered in the Fairbanks area in 1902 when Italian immigrant Felix Pedro struck it rich. He put Fairbanks on the map and thousands of men rushed to interior Alaska in search of the precious yellow metal. They were driven by gold fever and the chance to stake their claims, often enduring harsh conditions amid a rugged landscape. By 1930, though, small mines were replaced by large-scale mechanized mining and dredging operations.

Photo by Debbie StoneBy Debbie StoneSanta FeFor the Los Alamos Daily PostThe popovers at the Jordan Pond House in Maine’s Acadia National Park are famous. But until you try them, you might be skeptical of their reputation. After all, they’re popovers. How good could they be?

By Debbie Stone and Gini CunninghamDebbie: When Gini sent me a reminder about our book review of How to Read a Book she asked me to rate it in advance: Guess—Gini loves it; Gini finds it okay; Gini dislikes it. Such pressure! Gini and I rarely have the same thoughts about a novel, but I had a very full heart when I closed the last page of this book and I’m hoping my dear friend Gini loved it as much as I did.

Standing on the platform at Brooks Falls in Alaska’s Katmai National Park, I wanted to warn the salmon and tell them, “Look before you leap!” I lost count of how many fish ended up in the mouth of the ginormous brown bear perched at the edge of the falls. While the other bears stood in the water and actually had to work for their food, this guy just planted himself in the perfect spot, ready to catch salmon after salmon in his massive jaws. It was obvious this wasn’t his first rodeo.
