On my Own

So Brian started his new tour at 8am and the group left this afternoon. I now have to drive to Anchorage to start my tour on Wed. The last few days were great. I went to the Show at Diamond Tooth Gerties both nights we were in Dawson City. I love live theatre. It was great. Turns out Gertie graduated 2 years ahead of me from Belmont and still lives in Metchosin and works as a teacher in Sooke during the off season here. I had the "Authentic Sour Tooth Coctail" at the Downtown Hotel in Dawson as well- have the certificate to prove it.
The story goes that during prohibition in the winter, some rumrunners were being chased by the cops. One fell into a river with his foot but not having time to stop to dry his foot off, ended up loosing the toe. His buddy amputated it in the privacy of their secluded cabin under an alcohol anesthetic. They placed the severed part in the whiskey jug and left it at the cabin. 40 years later, the new owner of the cabin discovered the toe and for some reason decided to serve it in drinks- "Drink it fast or drink is slow, as long as your lips touch the toe." So I am now a card-carrying member. Gross huh?

Anyway... Ive gotto run and start my trip to the BIG Alaska smoke.
Cheers
