Winter's here

Sorry it's been so long since I've written here. I've been fairly busy. The last flight left February 15th. I'm stuck here. I was at an astronomy class tonight and learned the sun will go down the 24th of March. We'll have twilight for awhile and then it's darkness, stars, the moon and auroras.

This weekend has been a two day weekend. I enjoyed the time off, slept a lot, started our yoga classes, partied and helped make bagels. I do enjoy the community here. You don't find many uncool people who decide to go to the South Pole. It's fun pitching in on all the odd jobs needed to make this place run.

Other than that, I'm working out (although my body isn't quite adapting yet), trying to read through Tom Robbins, of whom I've not been to appreciative of this book, and I'm getting caught up on work. We need to make a flag line for finding our way in the dark this winter. From time to time we will have to go work on the satellite dish. It's a bit of a hike.

Well take care all and thanks for reading this. By the way, you can now leave comments without starting an account. Keep 'em clean for the family if you would, but make jokes at my expense of course. You wouldn't be my friends if we didn't play like that.

Love you all,
