I should be writing about what an incredible trip Angela and I had to Mexico but I can't. The airline gods once again conspired against me and foiled our plot to flee to warmer climates. A large winter storm shut down the Seattle airport the day that we were supposed to be flying and the airlines were not able to rebook us for at least a week. We decided to cancel our Mexico trip because we would not have had very much time down there, especially considering how much the tickets cost us. We still managed to get out to Virginia to see my folks and Angela's sister, so it wasn't a total loss, but Virginia is not Mexico.
The holidays were really nice in Anchorage. We took advantage of our time here and caught up with friends that I hadn't been able to see since I left for Nepal. The weather cooperated for a few days and we were both able to get out and do a little climbing and skiing. I even talked Angela into skiing up Eagle River to try an ice climb on a bitter cold day when the mercury never rose above zero. It's fair to say that Angela was a tad less psyched about our little outing than I was. She was A LOT less psyched when she broke through the ice. Luckily she did not go all the way in and just her feet got really wet. We made a mad dash for the car before she got too cold.
Thats pretty much what I've been up to lately. I'm living the wonderful life of the unemployed at the moment and trying to spend as much of my free time as possible outside.
