It is almost Memorial Day, we are seeing more and more motor homes and tour buses on the highway each day, the trees are green and the skies (today anyway) are blue! I pronounce it summer! Let the fun begin!

If you are in the mood for a little "Alaskan humor", check out the book review I added recently. I am not real sure about listing it as a book review, since Chad has twenty books out to date and each one is unique and wonderful in its own right. Maybe I should have said "books" review? Each large, colorful soft-cover book is a compilation of his many comic strips and individual cartoons - he is a very talented artist as well as a wacky comedian. I've met him - he really is both of those things and a nice guy as well.

Here's the latest article from the Alaska site at BellaOnline.com.
