Regretfully, I must admit that a stupid little walk for my stupid mental heath remains a reasonable brainitch salves even in These Times (tm), and even in the middle of the city before a gym appointment. #AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩 Pretty walk after work with pals and their dogs today. So grateful for awesome city parks almost in my backyard. #AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska. Didn’t pick the best week of the year to spend in Kachemak Bay, but them’s the weather breaks sometimes, and there was still (mostly wet and windy) beauty to be found. My elderly canine pal finds his life’s truest calling as a yurt dog every year. #AlaskaSky 💨🤩🌧️❤️

I was out snowshoeing trails for the dog in our little neighborhood park and heard this news not from the principal’s messages but from the exultant screams of a child inside their house through their closed windows 100 ft. away.

Another break from pretty Alaska pics to tell you that these sesame scallion buns were shockingly easy to make and pair nicely, in true Alaska style, with Costco prawn hacao and Costco edamame in shell. Gift link: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1027...
