​I probably should have done this a long time ago, but I just realized I should have a category for people to go to that will lead them to my column. I'll put up brief posts that summarize what the column is about and put a link at the bottom.

What gave me the idea was my recent trip to Juneau. Everywhere I went I came across the paper that my column appears in, Capital City Weekly. It was at the hotel, the jet airlines, floatplane airlines, a sporting goods store, and on the ferry itself. At one point, I came across one issue open to my column. It was an odd experience that I'm still hashing over.

​My most recent column "Casting the Panhandle" was about a major television production company that's been working to put together a "documentary series" (as opposed to a schlock-filled, scripted reality TV show) that focuses on people living subsistence lifestyles in Southeast Alaska. My oldest brother Jamie was someone the multiple award-wining producer came out by floatplane to possibly recruit.
