Hiya Thad! How’s it going? Hope you’re hanging in.

Big news! I gave notice at work today! As of June 21, I will be outta there and off to see what “life after working” is about. Everyone asks what I plan to do? Maybe once I am gone I will have time to figure it out.

I’m a little overwhelmed at all I have to do before I go, both to transition my work and buy a new laptop, and spend all my flex dollars. Whee! 

Hope you are having good days. Mwah!

Re: Sunny Saturday

Good move Sassy. I’ll take the afternoon off and bliss will ensue.

For some reason, my Outlook email doesn’t work at work. I think it might be interfering somehow with corporate mail. Or maybe it’s the nut behind the wheel.

In any case, I got home tonight to see if you responded. Checked before dinner and got an instant hard-on when I saw you made the reservation!

Afterward, I was watching TV with the wife, and thinking of you and stroking myself, without being observed. Why do I feel like a teenager again? Can’t wait!

Re: Sunny Saturday

Hiya Brett!

So wonderful to hear from you and know I will be touching you soon!

I’ve been checking mail all day, and feeling newly bouncy! You have cured my winter doldrums. Thank you for lifting my spirits.

You are so cute when you’re hot to trot! I am giggling thinking of you sneaking in some stroking and Hubby is looking at me funny! Hee! So happy to help turn you into a kid again. A very sexy man-kid!

Let me know whether to meet you for lunch or later? Anticipation will make the rest of this week so much easier than the past few!! Hope the days fly by! I am so ready for some fun!

Tussocks are the tufted vegetation that make the trail a bumpy mess when there isn’t enough snow to cover them

The coast is the barren open landscape along the Norton Sound and Bering Sea on the last leg of the race that is often a nightmare of wind and snow. https://www.facebook.com/pg/arctic.mood.photo/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2284168918571959&__tn__=-UCH-R Arctic Mood

5:59 PM Sassy
The last musher made it to Nome on Day 16 and received the Red Lantern for last place. Congrats to Victoria Hardwick and all the mushers and their teams of dogs who made the past two weeks such a thrill ride for me!

Does this pup photo beg for a caption? YES IT DOES!

Spectacular collection of 134 photos from just outside Nome on the Iditarod Trail! Just when I think I’ve seen Alaska from every angle, up pops a new perspective. Click through for mountains, mushers, dogs and the Bering Sea!”

Day 15 of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race started with everyone wondering when or if Sarah Stokey would make it to the finish line. Her GPS tracker was moving… slowly… then stopping. Then moving… slowly. Danny Seavey posted that she was walking… leading her dog team. She made it to Nome at 6:59 am Alaska time after 13d 15h 59m 1s on the trail. Turns out she had to walk a long, long way. “I had to be the lead dog for the last 150 miles.”

Good afternoon Brett! Hope you are enjoying this warmer weather and seeing signs of spring!

I had a wacky week at work starting the prep for two more events. My last time through through these and my last big project! Woohoo!

My community project’s latest event went well last night! We had 30 people, which isn’t bad. It was one of those rare times when I got a tingle because all the prep combined to create a high level experience for everyone!

I’ve been having such fun watching the Iditarod Sled Dog Race from Alaska! So many mountains, mushers and doggies!

I’m hoping for a quiet Saturday… just had groceries delivered by Instacart from Wegmans, and ate bacon and cheese quiche for breakfast! Now I will set to work on chores. Whee.

Thinking about your hands and mouth and my chest! You have such a way of finding the spots that drive me wild. Mmm….

Good morning! Chilly but pretty.
Going to clean out my office and then go see some waterfalls

More mushers, doggies and Alaskan beauty!

“A musher and the team running on the ice of the Bering Sea on the way to Nome. There has been a lot of comment that the ice is melted almost to the shore – it usually doesn’t do that until May. No one can remember it ever melting so early…”
