Snapshots from the day

If it's really true that a picture is worth a thousand words, below are a few thousand words' worth of pictures from today.

Since snow is on the ground, I now do my running indoors. There's a great indoor track just five minutes from our house that is inexpensive and never crowded. It's located in what used to be called the "Multi-Use Sports Complex" (an uninspiring name, to say the least), but is now known as the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center. Here is the plaque at the entrance of the facility. Recognize any familiar names on it?



On Friday afternoons I often make this local coffee shop my "office". For some reason, whether it is the background noise, or the change of scenery, or - most likely - the caffeine, I'm able to be quite productive here. It's called "Pandemonium".



In front of the coffee shop is this giant wooden, saddled salmon. Where else but in Alaska can you ride a salmon?




And speaking of pandemonium, here are a couple of shots from home. This one is of three eager catechumens, barely able to contain their joy at learning the Westminster Shorter Catechism with dad.



Finally, here is a picture of Sander being, well, Sander. Robyn and I wondered, did he get this way because of too little attention, or because of too much attention?
