Catching up with news

Got a 2 am wakeup call from Jan telling the good news that Andy passed the OCPD Academy final. Andy was exhausted from the night test so I asked her to pass our big congratulations to him. Susan and I could not be happier for Andy. I have been quite busy with work and did not have time to update the blog. The last entry stopped just before we boarded the North Passage Alaska Celebrity cruise. I continued to maintain that Alaska is a bit over-rated. Susan liked it better than me. 

The foods on the cruise were so plentiful and overly abundant. They are definitely not for any one on a weight-reduction or maintaining diet. I almost had to peel Susan off the delicious European pastries counter. Our last visit to the home of the Iditerod champion Jeff King and his family was memorable to us. Susan loved dogs and almost did not want to leave those huskies behind. We were so glad to be home, though. Sheba was absolutely nuts seeing us.
