I'm back (I hope)

A lot of things going on, in my life and with my computer. I just haven't had the strength to blog the last few weeks. I am going to make myself keep it up, though, because I need to. I'm going to talk about some neat things on the Inali Dancers blog, and try to catch up on my own life here over the next week or so.
On thing, ski season is almost here, I'm really looking forward to hitting the slopes. In fact, I think I might treat myself to a new pair of skis this year.
I've been talking to people about the horror stories of shopping at Walmart last friday, starting at 5:00 AM. I'm glad I stayed in bed!

ups and downs

It's been up and down like a rollercoaster the last couple of weeks. The White Bear war dance I went to over the weekend really did me a lot of good, but things at work just don't seem to get better for very long. It's pretty certain now I'm going to lose one of my newly trained people, I just don't know which one. In any case I'll have to start all over with someone knew. On top of that, there's been a series of major system problems, we don't even know for sure what's causing it. Well, I just have to last four more years, and I can retire in great shape.
Still, hearing all those old Ponca songs last weekend helped lift my spirits, and I think I can get through everything else, except maybe if gas hits four dollars a gallon this year, like I've heard it might. OUCH!
I'm working on a new online gallery, of all my archaeological trips and digs. When it's ready I'll put a link to it here.
