Just a quick post and pic to celebrate Peter C’s arrival in Alaska. They (Peter, Lisa, Nathan and Marina are probably almost there now…this was taken about four hours ago, just prior to their departure for Homer. A very Happy Fourth of July to all, and we’ll look forward to seeing everyone who can make it to Carkeek Park this coming Sunday. Go Mariners (especially at Fenway)! L, J/D/GP
It was a beautiful July 1st here in Anchorage – ALMOST as beautiful as July 1, 1989…but not quite. We celebrated with dinner at the Glacier Brewhouse and a splendid carriage ride to the Lagoon and back (fortunately, no train incidents…the last time we took that ride with Jon and Lisa, Jon and I didn’t make the last leg of the ride) 
Happy Father’s Day Dads. I hope you have a great day. If I missed anyone, please add them.
Jake took the driver’s test for the first time today and…he passed with flying colors! The pics are of his first solo. L, J/D/GP
In a Boys and Girls Club hosted event at the Changepoint Dome, the LPCFL played the AK Wild in a flag football double-header last night. The boys had a great time testing their talents and skills against Alaska’s first pro Arena League Football team. Sam’s group (13 and under) split into two groups with 4 Wild players and 4 LPCFL players on each side. Jake’s group played head up 8 on 8 against the Wild and managed a tie until about 5 minutes left in the game. The Wild then went on to score in the closing minutes for a 21-14 win. It was big fun and the boys had a great time playing with and against their Arena Football heroes.
We had family, friends and neighbors galore in this morning’s Alaska Run for Women! The weather was perfect…slightly overcast with sunny breaks and very mild temps (low to mid 50’s). A big “way to go” for all of those who started and finished the race…it’s a wonderful event for a great cause. L, J,D,GP
Nathan and Marina had their very first piano recital at the UAA Fine Arts Bldg. recital hall.

What a wonderful weekend! Family Fun and great food. Add pictures! I didn’t take any the first day or at Bishop’s Beach.
I’ve missed the ORG lately, but it seems we’re all pretty busy right now and ORG-time is hard to come by. Cheri and Sam are in Houston…actually, I think they’re airborne now and headed for Savannah, GA to join Tom and Anne, Teresa, Doug, Rebecca and Tom at Hilton Head. Jake and I miss them already (not to mention the cats who alternate between moping and caterwauling). We had hoped to make it to Homer for the big luau, it just wasn’t in the cards…I have miles to go on the Fly Right project and have to wrap it by Tuesday morning.
