Things I learned in Anchorage (or My 2:00 AM Misadventures in Ted Stevens International Airport)

1) Ted Stevens has an airport named after him
a) If you live for long enough, serve for long enough, and manage to be convicted for perjury (and believe that the Internet is a series of tubes), Alaskans will still name an airport after you even if you're not dead ("Thanks, Exxon and Conoco Philips!")

2) Nothing in life is free



3) No matter where you're from, where you're going, what time it is (2:30 AM Alaska Time)or how cold it is outside, you have GOT to make sure you are moisturized, made up, wrinkle-free and not too shiny.



4) In Alaska, they love their natural heritage shot, killed and taxidermied.






5) Alaskans care more about the animals they don't have then the ones they do.

It was a joy to see you reunited with your family. We are all so relieved that you are safely home - sense of humor obviously intact :).
Merry Christmas.
