SherriSep. 2 and 3: I am now settled into a charming loft on Yates Street in Victoria, British Columbia. It took a lot to get here from my home in Eugene, Oregon. Departing on Friday afternoon of Labor Day was not ideal, but it was what worked in mine and Michael’s schedule,

It’s true, I am in Alaska in the middle of the winter. What is a sun worshiper like myself doing here? I am someone who thinks of heading to the lands where the coconuts grow when it gets yucky in Oregon. But I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights.
