Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 187 - 6.7.16
In Boston for the International Literacy Association Conference... and the bears kept a low profile among the brownstones and tiny streets on the south end of town. Set up tomorrow and then things really get rolling for the weekend :) I'll be doing a short little talk about humor in children's lit on Sunday 8-9am and will be helping to staff the Alaska Wilderness League's booth -- and hopefully drumming up more participation in the polar bear post card project during the rest of the time.

Harts Pass No. 306
Still reveling in the exploratory freedoms of summer :) Not quite the same luxury for adults as it generally might be for kids, but good to remember that even away from "work" we can still be soaking' things in! Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 186 - 7.6.16
Ugh! I guess this is grumpy me when I've had way too much to do in way too short a time... VERY excited to be heading east to Boston and the International Literacy Association Conference -- and the furrowed brow of build-up has eased a bit now that I am on the road :) Stop by the Alaska Wilderness League Booth to chat about the Post Card Project and take your own first steps towards #climateaction to protect the #Arctic

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 184 - 6.30.16
I'm a little early with the theme... but it's virtual fireworks only here in eastern WA (which is totally fine and appropriate given our sage brush summer climes) so the colorful spirit of both independence, tolerance, and acceptance that actually DO make our country so great can lead you preemptively into a happy July 4th weekend!

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 183 - 6.29.16
After yesterday's terror attack in Turkey, this bear is simply tired... Forward facing. Resolute. Solid. But tired. Eyes open soon. Onward and upward!

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 181 - 6.27.16
Summer reading hits its stride this week -- with warmer temps at home an irresistible desire to spend more time in mountain lakes and streams. Thanks to a cooler stretch of late spring the snowpack is still holding together up high, but give it another week or two and most of the north Cascades will be open to explore!
