Another Day

It hardly seems possible that my first week is more than half over. But it is, and tonight in the quiet, quiet of the office, I can't help but to feel a bit lonely. 

It has been a bit of a crazy week, and has careened back and forth from a totally different pace of life (very, very relaxed) to one that I am used to (rushed, lunchless, desk bound).  The work, however, is fantastically interesting, and I am very much looking forward to getting to where I can dive in, do things my way, and get stuff done (more stuff, other stuff, not what is being done very ably now). I am lucky, yet again, to have fantastic staff and I am really looking forward to getting to know them, and their jobs, better. 

I tested making a snowman today (with a lot of snow, why not?). Impossible! Whitehorse really is a near-desert climate and the snow will, in no way, stick together. So I ate it. Haven't done that since childhood, but it all seems so pure here!

While Spring is likely pretty far away - there is just too much snow, it is supposed to warm up for the weekend (yay!), and the days are definitely getting more and more lovely (and long). The pink off the mountains in the morning and evening cannot be beat, so I think that will be today's photo. That and the elk that still very much hates me, but has at least stopped running away when I go for my (near daily) walk-by.
