Sunshine hits Anchorage

It's been a week now that I returned to Anchorage, and the sunshine continues. This may not seem like something to write home about, but it definitely is for me, as it bolsters your spirits and contributes to ambitious projects. . . namely, it's time to replace the plastic flowers of winter with the real ones of summer.
Anchorage has two golf courses in the area already open, so the spring golf luncheon comes next week. Yes, this is going to be a good summer.
The last Symphony of the fiscal year is this week, as is the Pioneers of Alaska Fun Night. The theme is "Rockin' to the Fifties" and I somehow was made chairman of this. However, both the men and women help a great deal, and I'd be lost without that. It kinda worried me when 'they' decided we should have a limbo contest, along with hula hoops, root beer floats, and poodle skirts, but I talked a doctor friend into coming, who dresses up as Elvis, so he may be doing double duty. We have a disk jockey coming too, so it should fill in the blanks.
Well, a blog isn't much with some images, so I promise to take my Cool Pix camera along and snap a few.
The other big thing in my life is the purchase of an MP3 player. This is the category, and the IPod and Walkman are the Mac and PC versions. I got the latter because my son-in-law is an exec at Sony. It's the size of a matchbook (opened) and hard to believe that 4 gigs holds 8 hours of video and 7,000 songs, but it's true. I have about 6,550 left to download at this point, but it sure does keep you off the streets . .. busy, busy. Well, check back to my blog next week for some better stuff.
