Winter hasn't left us yet. Saturday morning the snow started falling and by days end, there was 18 plus inches of new powder at my place. It made the drive into and back from Anchorage for the Snowshoe Softball tournament quite the ordeal. Overturned cars, cars in ditches, lane closures...no fun at all. Softball was a blast and my team actually won a game. Pretty good for a bunch of folks who haven't played in forever. Best I can remember, its been 23 years for me. I went four for four at the plate and didn't drop any balls so I was satisfied. Falling down while running the bases was common as the harder you try to run the more likely you are to fall. Everyone on team Frosty Balls had fun so that was the main thing.
Speaking of Frosty balls, it was minus 24 this morning. Totally unexpected as it was 18 above when we went to bed last night. The sun is out so it should warm up but its taking its time. Will spend the week getting the cabin ready for the Iditarod Race party I'm hosting on Saturday night. Nothing like a sleepover with 12 people you hardly know, especially considering the size of my small cabin. Should be fun although I'm sure the cat will disagree.

I am really impressed how well a Texas boy has adapted to the frozen, snow covered existence in Alaska! (I fall down when I run, not in snow...)
