in case you haven't noticed, michael jackson has pretty much dominated the headlines as of late. if you are like me this may have caused you to miss the fact that sarah palin resigned. i watched palin's speech (days after the fact- thanks m.j.) & what disappoints me the most about the whole ordeal is how hypocritical it is of palin to blame the media. after all, was it not palin who more or less said she thought clinton should just suck it up and not let the media get to her? blimey. i'm relieved she didn't make it to the white house. somehow i have a hard time believing that the pressures of alaskan governor are some how more intense than that of a vice president.
but what do i know?
well, i know locavore is a silly word.
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary recently added almost 100 words including locavore and frenemy. which is pretty great in the sense that they seem like ridiculously unneeded words. i don't think i want to meet the person who seriously refers to themselves as a locavore (which is apparently someone who eats locally produced/grown food). don't get me wrong, i'm all for the practice, but locavore? can i at least refer to myself as a cakeavore? because i .really. like my cake. incidentally i'm on the lookout for a strawberry rhubarb cake/crisp/pie recipe if anyone knows of such a particularly tasty treat.

c & k were the first friends of b. alexander i met. it's been fun getting to know them, and sadly are leaving p-town for k's schooling. i'll miss them, but am excited for the adventures that await them in tennesse. c blows glass and has a show coming up for his work so he enlisted b. alexander to help make a short film of him in action. i tagged along in hopes of playing with my camera and witnessing the creation of c's beautiful pieces first hand. i am so impressed with his skill and am in awe of all that goes into glass blowing.

Once again you make me smile in the lull of the afternoon! I like your writing...and I'm glad you liked the cake! :)
Hi there, found some extra time to see what all the Firth kids are doing. Fun things as usual. I was surprised to see that you follow Alaska news, I rarely even bother to follow it myself so congrats on keeping up. I think another part of the Palin resigning thing is she has secret "other" bigger things she wants to do AND a another issue was the time and money it cost her and the state to deal with all the ethics things from all the crazy Alaskans, which so far, none have been substantiated. But there are always new ones popping up. I'm curious to see how the new guy fairs in that dept. I think you are a talented writer. Love the photos too!
