Oh… hadn’t watched that in ages… so so good.  

I’ll never forget waiting in line for the ladies room in a disco in Cancun in the 80’s – all the gals burst out singing that.. the men waiting for us outside couldn’t figure out WTF was going on in there!

10:17PM Phil
Ha!

March 8, 2016 Tuesday

9:22PM
The photos from the race are amazing today – Northern lights, cute doggies in booties, massive mountains, mushers and tireless volunteers helping making it all happen!

Ralph Johannessen drops down onto the frozen surface of Puntilla Lake in the Alaska Range. Mushers in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race came and went from the Rainy Pass checkpoint for much of Monday, March 7, 2016.
