Joe Mauer - the Twins' (and Arctic Wool Sox's!) young hot catcher is going to see my knee doctor - Dr. Richard Steadman. In addition to being the Slat Rat's favorite knee surgeon, Dr. Steadman is the US Ski Team knee doctor - in fact he was recommended to me many years ago by one of my buddies on the Ski Team. Dr. Seadman is great - in addition to being a super doctor, he is very approachable, easy to talk to, listens well, and is not an egotistical head case.

Mt Spurr, a volcano that is a mere 80 miles west of Anchorage, is rumbling again. It last erupted twelve years ago. Anchorage was blanketed in ash.

And boy did that suck the big one.

Today's Street Life column by Andy Serwer had a great line:
I hate people at Starbucks who order six drinks for everyone at the office! There ought to be law. Or a separate line!...
Isn't that the truth?!!!!!!!!

I was working on project yesterday at work that required me to flag several Alaska villages on an Alaska map. I think Alaska place names totally rule. Here's a list of my favorites from yesterday:
Chauthbaluk
Savoonga
Tatitlek
Kotlik
Tununak
Toksook Bay
Quinhagak
Angoon
Skagway
Ouzinkie (my personal favorite)
There will be a spelling quiz tomorrow on the above list.
