Iditarod | Last Great Race on Earth\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here we are so far.\u00a0 We starting tracking the last spot, as a lark.\u00a0 But, now I’ve got Iditarod Fever.\u00a0 This got kicked up a notch when I ‘saw double’ – of course I’m talking about the Berington sisters.<\/p>\n

And, when I think of beautiful ladies, I think of my mom who lives in Valdez.\u00a0 And, while she doesn’t have Iditarod fever – Yet, as I hear it is highly contagious – She does know some of the stories reported in the news.\u00a0 Like one of our favorites – Dan Seavey has a son and grandson in the race.\u00a0 Three generations of dog mushers on the iditarod trail.\u00a0 That’s cool.<\/p>\n

And, She\u00a0 knows that there’s a musher named Lanier in the race.\u00a0 That’s our family name and imagine my surprise this morning when I see that Jim is in first place. Jim Lanier is Winning the Iditarod!<\/a>\u00a0 Typically, we root for the ‘Red Lantern’, but because we share a last name, we are making an exception.\u00a0 Go JIM!<\/p>\n looking very dashing”]\"\"<\/a>\n

Other Folks we are cheering for<\/h2>\n

Matt Failor<\/a> \u00a0 Moving up two spots yesterday and got into McGrath late last night.<\/p>\n

Seeing Double Sisters<\/a>: Kristy Berington<\/a> and Anna Berington<\/a> in 44th and 43rd spot respectively.\u00a0 And, we are rooting for them, cause well they are pretty and cool.<\/p>\n

Dan Seavey<\/a> is hanging on to the lantern and it seems he is sticking with Jan Steves<\/a> and Bob Chlupach<\/a>. They are in Nikolai … Wait, Jan and Bob left this morning early without Dan.<\/p>\n
