Hi Parker, Yes, I had a very nice birthday while here in Healy. Elizabeth the researcher I work with and John the field technician took me out to breakfast at a local restaurant in Healy. There's a great picture of Elizabeth with a huge pancake on that days journal entry. I don't remember what we had back at the cabin but we've been taking turns cooking. Some of the meals have introduced me to food Items I am not that familiar with. For example, beets...I never liked beets but John made a really good soup last week that changed my mind. On the other hand...kale, I tried it and didn't like it!Shoveling is good exercise. I got tired but I like to work hard and get tired so I was happy. What I wasn't expecting was the cold weather.
