We just set up this blog. It's one of many items I can now scratch off the long, long trip to-do list. Tomorrow, I'll strike out "can caribou" after processing about 10 pounds of the meat we had in our freezer so we can bring it with us. Other tasks completed or nearly completed: teach Wilbur to pee/poo on command, buy dinghy, get operator's license (94% and 100% for Kath and Terry respectively), insurance, etc.
