We need your help!

As you already know, inside of this belly is a little baby. You may not know this baby is a girl and her name will be Clarity. ( I always did want a little Clarity in my life:)

So, should it be Clarity Sebern or Carity Partridge? We do not want to hyphenate! Even if we did want to hyphenate whose name would be first? We have been having wicked cribbage competitions to try to resolve the issue but now we leave it to you to decide.

Thanks for your help!

Gangstas Spreading Their Wings

The Brenner St. Husslers are on a mission to spread their philosophy across the country. Half are in Maine, while the other half are in Vermont. Though it is good for the world to have them spread out and spreading the good word, we wish that they were back here where they belong. Good luck, and good work.

In the words of Sergio Semunavik, "spread your wings and fly boldly in the direction of your dreams." He has always been a bit melodramatic, but heartfelt.

'Ello my luvlies

Hi Kids, just a shout out from the CA crew. Hope all is well- I did notice the "r" word floating around the Girdwood weather reports, that's not good. I'm adding a bit of writing here from a friend in Fairbanks in an effort to culture you all on the goings on about the state, have a read and keep your tips up,

First Trip to Summit Lake

Tiffany, Kate, and Vicki at the top of Summit ridge. It was cold and windy, but a good time.

Sitting on the Edge of the World

Matt Murphy sits looking over the front (roadside) of Magnum last Tuesday. Matt broke trail faster than I could skin up behind him. I suspect some sort of bionic augmentation to his legs...

Life as a Mountain Host

It's a good life. I have enjoyed almost every flake of the 430 inches of snow that has fallen on Alyeska. I am squeezing out every last turn my quads will give me. This will be my last season as a mountain hoe and I can already feel the nostalgia. At the end of each day on my way to my office door, I ski through the little patches of untracked snow and wave goodbye to my friends and I can't help but smile to myself. What a life!

Pictured is me with one of my co-hoes, Gwen.

Steve goes skiing

Today Steve and I went on what was supposed to be a little ski tour. Steve decided to use touring skis instead of his snow board. It was great entertainment watching this knuckle dragger try to remember how to ski again. The snow here is light and the skies are blue almost everyday. We wish we were in the deep like all of you Girdwood skiers! I bet Moses is really off the team this year.

Same Old, Same Old...

I don't even know what to say any more. Its getting deeper!

Deep, Deep Snow!

I have never seen so much snow in my life. If you add up all the snow I have ever seen, it might not add up to this much. My legs ache, but I can't stop.

Laughing Our Way to Tragedy

280 inches in December, and two feet by the 2nd of January... at what point should we begin to fear being swallowed by the snow. Will we be giggiling and smiling as Girdwood is erased from the earth like the lost continent of Atlantis?

One Hour from Anchorage

Greenfield Village

The family went to Holiday of Lights at Greenfield Village, and were taken back in time to Christmas' of yesteryear. There wasn't any pussyfooting around terms like "Christmas" or "Baby Jesus" or any of that, it was straight up Christian Christmas Scene. They still found space to include a Creepy Santa on top of a balcony...would he jump? we didn't stick around to find out.

First Day Open Up Top

Alright, it was only the top of the Tram and not Six... but it was still pretty sweet. I lost a ski on South Face and had to dig for 20 minutes. That hot Mountain Host ended up finding it for me.

Nice visit from Mr. Moose

Just when you think you've moved into the suburb of suburbs, sweet old Mr. Moose rambles by to take a nibble on the only tree in the entire neighborhood.

To Girdwood!

Love,
Meeshell

Lest we forget...

Before Annie turned 30, and started losing her memory as all thirty somethings do, she was kind enough to email me this collection of images from our most Hallowed Eve. Thanks Annie, and enjoy a safe trip to Ethiopia !


Mad Monster Party !

Bring Us Snow

Though it was a cold night, the flames kept us warm. Ullr was appeased...although it seems that his gifts are manifested in Man-Made snow this year. I guess times change.

Thankful for Far-Away Friends

Wow, it seems like just yesterday when we were all cutting bread and sucking on a keg at the good old Cervin home. I fondly remember not being able to remember anything the next day. A few things, however, were forever burned into my subconcious, and I have a feeling that about this time of year they will continue to resurface to haunt my dreams. Who can forget Willi's seductive sack lounging, and of course there's the mulleting of our friend Dan. Oh, the good old days. Well, even though we can't be there in person we are there in spirit, I hope you all have a great and snowy Thanksgiving.

We will be hiking through some canyons and stuffing our faces and now that we're eating for three we got an extra big bird. I am excited to be a dad although sometimes I probably look like a deer caught in the headlights...know what I'm reading right now?? What to expect when you're expecting.

Not sure how long we'll be in Flagstaff but you're all welcome, the kegerator is back on-line, hope to catch up with you all soon, and of course have a great T-day!!
