Here are the updates since I was last on...
#1. The past two Fridays I have ridden a mechanical bull. Evidence? You betcha.
Was I alone in doing this?
The first Friday, yes...and when I fell off the bull, the handler did some inappropriate gestures with it. It was funny and fantastic.
Yesterday? Nope! I had my good Montana friend, Kathryn, right there with me. In fact, we wore the same trucker camo hat that said Alaska on it.
Oh and Miss Kathryn did a little routine on the bull where she took off the hat, flipped her hair back a couple of times, and put the hat back on. Yup, cheeeeers all around.
#2. I met a fella from Chicago at the movie theater who had just returned from Chicago after seeing the Cubs play the Brewers...lucky dog.
#3. I met another fella in the grocery store who graduated from...MARQUETTE!! Goooo Goooo Go Marquette Go Go Go Go! Small world!
#4. Walking to the bars last night, there was a woman dressed in a chicken suit sitting on a bench outside of a park. Confusing? Absolutely! But I did give her a high five.
#5. Went the weekly Scrabble gathering at the local used bookstore. Just taking my time ladies and gents, I am ready to infiltrate and hustle at Scrabble.
#6. Saw Harry Potter...cried
#7. Saw Thor and X-Men...had great dreams
#8. Went to the neighborhood dive bar named Carousel Lounge. It. Was. Amazing. We had an elderly guy keep coming up to us saying "Thank you." Me: For what? Him: For being here. And then he played for us Stevie Ray Vaughan on the jukebox in our honor. This place was unreal...it could become my hang out. HA!
#9. Met another fella at the bull riding pad who went to the University of Wisconsin. Seriously, kinda creepy how small of a world it is...and how I always seem to smell out those from the Midwest.
#10. Smoked hookah in Alaska! Chalk off another state!! Crazy it is a fad here!
#11. Went out of a co-worker's 48th bday. We went dancing and he has a cane. It was great fun. All the young pups were watching us as we owned the dance floor. And when I say we I mean him, I, and the cane.
#12. In case you were wondering...bars apparently don't close until 4am in Alaska and it is still dusk out at 3am.
#13. Today we watched a local team play baseball...name? The Anchorage Bucs. Game was fun but the chick I was sitting next to went to Marquette for a year! She was from Conn and moved to Milwaukee and realized she couldn't stand the weather! She loved the summer but the winter got to her. Oh and she loves the CUBS!
#14. Ok so I realize this should have been titled small world section...but at dinner after the game at a pad called Moose's Tooth, a fella walked by in a Marquette t-shirt! I mean honestly! Two in one day! He was from Alaska and has family who went to Marquette. He is a huge fan! So great!!
So here is what I leave you with, another interesting picture from the Last Frontier
Yup, hands in the pants.
