so here's a funny thing about unalakleet. i went back there this week for a community night--a chance to talk with folks about how adults can get involved in the lives of kids of their community. so, i worked really hard to make sure i pronounced it correctly: un-a-la-kleet. each syllable pronounced.
but, of course, in unalakleet, its pronounced unle-kleet. of course.
even more complicatedly, in nearby st. michael and stebbins, its pronounced, un-a-la-kleet.
ayay! its all about local quirks.
on the road again on sunday--shishmaref, brevig mission & teller...assuming the weather goes my way from juneau:).

Woohoo! I'm so excited to kick it with you, Dugan! This weekend I'm going to Anchorage and next weekend it's YOU! The days are getting longer. It doesn't get any better than this.
Have fun in D'ham! You and Heather give each other a hug for me. It will be even more genuine if you say "we make a good hug" to Heather like I always do! :) :) :) Miss you both!
