She's back....

and I have survived my first professional library interview. I like Anchorage, I like the library, and I like the library staff very much. I think it would be challenging in a good way, that I would be able to learn and grow professionally, and that I would be able to make a contribution and use my powers for good. Plus, I could see myself living there; I really want a place in which I could settle down, not just a place to work for a couple years to get experience.

At this point, it is out of my hands, though. I should know something one way or the other by January at the latest. Let the adventures continue; the next great adventure is packing up my life in Bloomington and doing something with all the stuff (anyone need any random stuff?).

I put pictures up online. I didn't get as many pictures as I'd hoped; it was pretty foggy for most of Sunday. These are the links to all the photos I have, though. The first is for the library. The second is for Anchorage.

For a preview of what you'll see, here are a couple photos.

This one is from the coastal trail that's accessed from downtown. You can see the hoarfrost on the trees and the Cook Inlet to the right.
This is when the sun came out through the fog. It's taken downtown (yes, it is a city), and if you look down the street, you can see mountains in the distance.
