I flew home from Yellowknife to Whitehorse on Tuesday – it feels great to be settling back in right as the Northern summer is arriving. (It’s 9:30pm now, and still broad daylight.) I was sick for a good portion of my last three weeks in Yellowknife, so chances are pretty good that I owe you [...]

I leave tomorrow morning, and will be working at the Up Here office there for at least a couple of months before I make it back to Whitehorse. I’m really excited to get to know a second northern city.
