Today I witnessed my first Iditarod race. Jeff King led the over 60 mushers into Unalakleet, AK (a checkpoint on the way from Anchorage to Nome) at which the winner receives $2,500 in gold pieces. Lance Mackey (last year's winner) was close behind. At this point, the mushers have been going for 674 miles - unbelievable!
I miss my childhood.
I remember always being outside and with friends, just roaming around the neighborhood looking for something to do. We use to play baseball, soccer, kickball, and even tag at like 9:30 p.m. before the town curfew. My friends and I were always climbing trees and running around pretending we were superheros and searching for the villans at the park.
