Ok, wow, I'm here. I've finally made it all the way down to the Pole. Actually, I've been here the last two days but it's been difficult staying up to catch the satellite pass (currently 11:12 PM here). It has been a whirlwind experience getting down here. I promise that when I get a chance I'll write a LOT more describing the experience and what ( Read more... )

So, I woke up this morning and, casting all doubts and fears aside, hopped into the car and off we went to the airport. I ended up flying through Chicago after all 'cause, remarkably, Dallas was all iced up. Funny how I had scheduled Dallas instead of Chicago for that very reason. So, now I am here in Denver.
