Ten Things I love about Kenai Penninsula, Alaska

1. $4 flannel shirts off of the big and tall clearance rack at Fred Meyer in the spring

2. That it is still light at 9:30pm

3. That I am usually the best dressed person in town around here

4. One word: Family

5. This time of year: nobody around here washes their car

6. Rush hour means busy traffic, not standstill traffic

7. Men on a power lunch to learn how to make King Salmon lures

8. My mother's friends and their QVC cult

9. PTI and Around the Horn can be seen over a late lunch---instead of the middle of the afternoon.

10. Infomercials on cable start two hours later.

You're in Alaska, did I miss something?Hey, I started a book that I think you'll be interested in. Cant tell ya the title, 'cause I don't have it with me, but I'll let you know. You've probably already read it.

Those are some good things for sure. Especially the less traffic one. And the fact that you are the best dressed in the area is fun to.
Is it a small town? If so I can imagine your mom and friends love of QVC.

They are ESPN shows. I like PTI, I don't get Around the Horn. Friar, what's the scoring all about in ATH? Is it up to the host?

Sounds like you're having a good time :)

@ Amy--PTI and Around the Horn are daily sports shows--Around the Horn takes a reporter from 4 different regions of the country and puts them in a contest and PTI is will two DC sportswriters who are good friends and just hilarious.

@ SN--Yes that is how it works.

What is a QVC cult?

I like daylight savings time because it is still light at 8:00 p.m. now and it will still be light at 9:00 p.m. later this summer.
