Six months ago I was flying out of Alaska. By pure happenstance my flight was on the summer solstice, and I have vivid memories of waiting to board my redeye at a little past midnight. The Ted Stevens Airport was fully lit by the sun, which then was only just starting to head toward the …
When I eat salmon, I am reminded of Jeff and I's Alaskan honeymoon, which took place this time last year.
