Thank you so much, Jim.
A wonderful trip: Juneau, especially this time of year. Start at the kayak
display in the museum. Go hang in Dee's bookstore, then wander over to the
State Historical Library in the administration building at the capital. It
has a courtyard outside, beyond the pipe organ they play at noon, with
sweeping views of Gastineau Channel. Then when the sun goes down about
4:00, wander down to the Hanger for a smoked lager (Alaskan Brewing
specialty, fresh from Lemon Creek about five miles away). Finish the evening
at the Alaskan Hotel, listening to Jay Caputo hit the blues in a bar that
once traded in gold dust.
