So one night, Dave brought Marty over and we all drove around talking. Marty mentioned that he dreamed of making a trip to Alaska one day. (Our first real date was a Billy Graham Crusade ... another story. Laurie and Dave broke up, married other people and we are all grandparents.)
Here it is, after 34 years of marriage; traveling to over 40 countries and Marty and I have never been to Alaska. That is why I had a slight hesitation when the opportunity came up to go to Juneau, Alaska for a video project with author, Margaret Feinberg. How could I go to Alaska without Marty, when it has been his dream? Pretty easily with Marty's encouragement ... and it was a work trip. But even with the attraction of travel, hiking around glaciers, kayaking, helicopter ride, landing on a glacier, wilderness, creative collaboration, hangin' out with Margaret, Leif and the crew - the biggest appeal was doing this with Brian. One of my favorite memories of the trip ... Brian and I cooking dinner for everyone.
We kayaked across the lake to Mendenhall Glacier, hiked up the side of the glacier for a fantastic location to shoot the introduction to Margaret's book, The Organic God.
What a great way to explore and show the content of The Organic God than to show it with the beauty of Alaska - where Margaret wrote the book.
We're standing on about 800-1000 feet of ice on Herbert Glacier.
Long days, but lots of fun just doing life together.

I'm ready to return ... with Marty, of course.
