News from, and about, Northern Journal
Greetings from Northern Journal headquarters — also known as my couch, here at home in Airport Heights. I'm just back from an amazing reporting trip to Kodiak. I'd been there twice before, each time briefly to cover the biennial Fish Debate, but this trip was longer.

Fourth of July in Old Harbor is not an event to be missed; while you'll have to wait a few months for the full story, I can share that I was victorious in the hill race and the sack race (my closest rival face planted about 10 yards from the finish), while I got smoked in the hula hoop-off.
