first entry by Joe

Hi. This is my first blog entry ever. I’m not really a writer, more of a philosopher/educator, but I thought maybe someone might be interested in what I’m thinking about and what is going on in Haines and with Rainbow Glacier Adventures. This morning, I woke up in our house across Mud Bay. With its view of the Rainbow Glacier…hey, that’s why I call this company Rainbow Glacier Adventures. Its not that we go hiking on the Rainbow Glacier, or climb up there, its just that I enjoy looking at it and it dominates the view from our home. I woke up and started doing some yoga and in my brain comes this quote…..”take care of the old person that you are one day going to become.” I remember that I had heard a guy say that quote during his 100th birthday celebration. I don’t know why I thought of it today, it just came up. Well, after I’m done, I turn on the radio and Alaska News Nightly reports that the gentleman who said that quote had just died and that Alaskan flags would be at half mast. And then came his voice over the radio…..”take care of that old person that you will one day become.”
