The Origin Story!
How my DNA arrived in AK! The story of my maternal grandfather's journey to Alaska in 1946. The jeep in the picture is the actual one depicted in this story as it was told to me by my Grandfather Joseph Balch.

Our Man in Alaska - Episode 03

In Alaska we jokingly refer to Mosquitoes as "The Alaska State Bird"....except we're not joking...even the actual birds are afraid.
Enjoy this short tale of my wife's itchy, scratchy, electric revenge against her arch nemesis.

OUR MAN IN ALASKA - Episode 2
Moving my Family to the Wilderness.
In 1996 we left the relative comforts of the American Midwest back to my birth home of Salcha Alaska. Little did my Korean City Girl wife know what was in store.

Wow ... I just bumped into this on Internet Archive, from nearly 20 years ago!
The Our Man in Alaska podcast I did with my friend Nigel Killick, whom I met via a podcast audiobook service called Podiobooks way back then.

Iggie's Place or, as Kharzai wanted to call it "Kharzai vs. Idiots"

Bad guys commit evil with a 'man' who is not what they think he is.

Contains scenes of violence and death, and insinuations of evil treatment of children...but the good guy wins

KHARZAI'S DREAM
a memory of crossing

I see a river of crystalline aquamarine.

It springs from The Mountain,

Cloud adorned peak rising beyond the sky

To the Realm of Beyond Above.

The river flows from The One.

I pass through the Pillars of Fire
