Everything went fairly smoothly on our flight from San Jose to Anchorage yesterday. We got in around 3 PM and by 4 PM we were engulfed in darkness. Ah, back home in the ice and snow. I can't say that I miss driving in it. We had a few bad omens for our "try to keep our weight the same over the holidays" initiative. First, my mom brought us to the chocolate fountain at Alaska Wild Berry Products and for dinner we had pizza and beer from the Moose's Tooth.
