Getting ready for our Bird Year is extremely romantic. Today I vacuumed several rooms, swept and washed the stairs leading downstairs (never done that before), spent an hour or two responding to emails and spent a joyous few minutes scrubbing the bathroom floor. My daughters’ dogs are staring at me reproachfully because I haven’t taken them for a walk (Kirsten, Polly and Malkolm are in Haines, Alaska having fun at a bike race).
Starting on the summer solstice, I won’t be scrubbing any floors for at least a year (although we may need to wash the tent).

Hi Ken!
It's been a few years since we saw you down here with your Arctic Refuge "road show.' I was pleasantly surprised to see your entry on Tweeters the other night. I commend your family for the feat you all are about to undertake and am planning on meeting up with you either in Sequim or Ocean Shores in August.
I remember Malkolm doing his bird drawings in Washington D.C., Feb 2000. I think he has chosen an excellent interest. I've enjoyed looking at his artwork on the website.
I do miss the Arctic. It's now been almost 7 years since I was up there for the Millennium Trek. Last week I spent 4 days up at 100 Mile House, B.C. fishing. Unfortunately, no qualilty time for much birding but it was beautiful country and I am hoping to do more trips to Canada sooner rather than later.
Best wishes to you and your family on this Trek - hope to see you in Washington!
