Blogging Laryngitis

There's been no official diagnosis from the AMA you understand, but I seem to have been afflicted just the same. That I'm afflicted will come as no surprise to some of you, but we won't go there... While I love technology as much as the next fellow, keeping up with an endless stream of social network websites left me feeling like a slave to a Dell. I blogged, twittered, facebooked, blipped, flickred, linked-in and wordpressed until I couldn't see straight.

After hearing from more than a few clients, a handful of AR friends, a few regular readers who were wondering if I had somehow forgotten how to type and two reporters (from Realtor and Money Magazine no less), I figured it was time to get off my ass put pen to paper... well, digital paper anyway, and catch up on the whole blogging gig. I was actually surprised to hear anyone in Alaska was reading this right now considering we're having one of the best summers I can remember. Who sits at the computer when it's 90+ degrees and sunny? Apparently not yours truly.

While I've been slacking on the blogging front we have been busy playing host to hoards of visitors, selling lots of homes (but precious little undeveloped land) and generally staying in "GO" mode. So far, no one has shown up to push me out of an airplane... (or ride that damn tram @ Alyeska) and while we would dearly love to show off Alaska to our dear friends from the Show Me state, I'm happy to (thus far) have my feet on good 'ol terra firma.

According to legend, summer is gone when the last fireweed cottons out and blows away in the winds. I shot this a few days ago at the lake and if the legend holds true there's a lot of summer yet to enjoy. I'll do my best to enjoy it while keeping you updated on life in Alaska... well, until the kings start running that is... then all bets are off. :)
