| Greetings From Dawson |
Day 10Not much to say about freeze-up today except that the forecast is for colder weather; -20s it's saying. So that's positive. I'm just doing a little prepping today for the coming cold: straw for dogs, kindling for me.
So I'm gonna talk about other stuff today. Like how much I love facebook. Are you on Facebook? It's totally keeping me entertained during freeze-up, though I'm having to run the generator way too often. My new friends, Evelyn and Heather, are especially keeping me entertained. Thanks Ladies. We'll have you over for games when this is done. Anyways...Facebook. Since signing up for facebook a few weeks ago I've chatted with old friends from schooldays, including my best friend growing up, Dixie. I hadn't talked to her in more than ten years. And like so many old friends, she's (practically) married and with children. I've also chatted with old boyfriends and even the boy I lost my virginity with. How funny is that? I've send a few messages that haven't been responded to as of yet but am hopeful. I admit that I have left a few jilted lovers in my wake. So anyways, I love Facebook. It's way better than classmates and it's quite interactive and fun. I highly recommend it. Soon the whole computing world will be on facebook.
The other thing I want to talk about today comes from something my friend Heather said. She said she wishes she was funny. Well, I wish I was funny too. Some people are beautiful. Some people are smart. Some people are funny. I want to be funny. My kid, Moe, now there's a funny/witty kid! She always has been. I remember when she was very little she was always trying to make up jokes. Even at such a young age she would often make me laugh my ass off. She could (can) do impersonations, too. I remember walking home from school one day and she bursts out, in this hilarious accent, "I love peaches. Brought some home for me dog" which is from a computer game we'd been playing at the time. I don't know if I ever laughed so hard in my life. But look, it's not funny at all when I tell it. Not fair. If I was funny I'd comment more on your blogs, I swear. But I always look at all the super witty, funny comments already posted and can come up with nothing anywhere near as interesting to say on my own. They should give funny comment courses online. Do you know...I only know one joke. One. It's a damned funny joke (way too dirty to post here:) but it's still the only one i know. Now I know nobody is reading my blog because of the humour, you all are here because either a) you feel obligated; or b) you always wanted to live in the north. But still, I wish my blog was funny. that's my rant for the day. thank you. 01:47 - Sunday, November 4, 2007 - post comment

Description This is a blog for friends and family and those who always wanted a northern adventure. For those of you who are new here: Lynne and Scott departed Edmonton, AB the summer of 2005 in their camper van with bikes on front, canoe on top, and Beetle pulled behind. Their destination: Dawson City, Yukon. Home of the Klondike Gold Rush. We've been here ever since. Loving every minute of it. Even the long, dark winters where temps reach -40 C and colder. Soon we will embark on a new adventure: we are purchasing some land "off of the grid" and building our dream cabin in the woods where we hope to spend the rest of our days. If you'd like to get up to speed you can visit our defunct blog at greetingsfromdawson.blogspot.com. Thanks for sharing our northern experience.
