Beginning of Autumn?


Hi friends,
We've been slacking on the blogging, but this time of year our adventures tend to slow down a bit! While Jim has been jet setting to Missoula, Spokane, and Prince William Sound, I've been holding down the fort, teaching, and learning how to play the mandolin. I've got an amazing teacher who pushes me and teaches me much more than notes and chords.
My school year is off to a great start. I feel fortunate to work with such an amazing group of students in our progressive charter school.
Jim is loving his job. He's putting his ducks in a row for a trip to Chile in December. This time, he plans to put satellite transmitters on two or three Whimbrels (a shorebird with unknown migration behavior). We'll try to post a link around migration time (March...feels SO far away!) so you can see where his birds have gone.
Until then, check out this link to stay up on current polls
I've replaced watching the plummeting DJI with this website...it helps me breathe!
Ciao!

Hey Jim and Ayme. Amazing photos as usual. Glad you're happy to be back in school Ayme. And the mandolin? I'll have to get out my viola. Looks like I won in your poll. G&L honeymooned in HI.
