Got a quarter million dollars worth of fish here

Wow... what a trip. To wind it up, we got back on Thursday night with a lot of fish... to be specific, everyone got 100lbs of fish, plus we had a bit more that is getting smoked. Salmon, Halibut, Snapper and Ling Cod. Whoa.

It was truly great to go on that trip, and just as great to get home to my family. The greeting I got from the kids was really heartwarming and I just wanted to hold on to that moment. The rest of the Alaska pics are up at http://picasaweb.google.com/rseidenwurm.

Weirdly enough, I came dowqn with a touch of the vertigo when I got back, feeling lightheaded and tremendously sleepy. Enough so that on Friday night, I kind of panicked and hyperventilated to the point where I called the dr. on call. It was still going today so I saw the dr. who told me I had this vertigo and I needed to rest and it would just go away. Always nice to know you don't have a brain tumor or an aneurysm or something.

Couple cute moments though... this morning Owen was very concerned with me, and thought he should test my brain. He asked me the following questions:
What is 6X7?
What is 100 + 100?
Which is healthier, salt or crackers?
What is mommy more allergic to, horses or dogs?

Later, he told me I needed to lay down, and prepared a tray (a cookie sheet) with 6 glasses, 3 full of water, 3 full of apple juice. It was so sweet.

Nathan was a trooper today. I swear he has grown a ton while I was away. He also danced his happy dance to music both in my car (whilst picking up pizza) and naked while waiting for the bath in our room... the latter to the Lenny Kravitz song "I want to get away." He is a rocker, that one.

So much fish to eat. If you want fish, and you are local, drop me a line.
