I'd be checking the beaches of Hawaii if I were smart. My mother made my father move from Colorado to Texas because she was sick of the cold and snow. And as far as running a marathon at that age goes, some people are just God blessed. Life has taken my feet from me at 65. The restroom is the only place I run anymore.
Anyways, is it possible he just got tired of his Alaskan life and figured out a way to get away? Aloha y'all!
That was a theory from a few but he had certainly never offered any such evidence of unhappiness. More critically, though, there is nothing on the back of that mountain other than more mountains and snow and no roads and eventually just the cold, cold Pacific Ocean. Unless he had a chopper hidden up there somewhere, he's been swallowed by nature or abducted by aliens.
Though I'm pleased when you regularly scour the idiot politicians, the respite of Alaska is most worthwhile. I can see why you put down your wire brush and went.
Such masterful storytelling, Jim! I admire your gift for description of the physical beauty around you.
Wonderful story Jim. I'm sending this to a former tv producer, now school teacher friend who is moving to Alaska this summer.
Thanks, Caroline. I'm sure your friend will love it there. It affects me like Texas, though I've no tolerance of winter any more.

And now you must go.
