blue igloo
I love the photos with the igloo, looks so cool. Travelling and discovering places and people is what I want my life to be about. But before reading your blog, I'd never considered Antarctica. Gonna have to look into how I can go there. a silly question but I have to ask: do you have fridges or do you just have cold rooms where the temperature is kept at a certain level?

Wow!
My dream has been to experience Antarctica as you did. In case I never do, at least I can live it through your excellent journal.

Beautiful photo
I can't imagine what it's like standing under a purple and green sky, but your photograph helps. Thanks--Carmen

Bunny Boots
So, are you gallumphing about outside in your Bunny Boots? If so how do they handle in all that snow? Or do you have your own boots, and if so what kind are they? I envy you those storms. I love playing in the snow.

That's my boy!
I used to love storms, too. My father said I didn't have the sense to come in out of the rain! As far as jumping into frozen water, that must be the Norwegian in you! Carry on, Son! Love, Mom

You can't really call that a smile, Son.
That is a serious look of exclamation. When you smile, your mouth is elongated - not a perfect circle as in this picture! Even though I saw you the moment you were born, I still can't figure out where you came from! Yet, we live vicariously through you! Carry on! Love, Mom - Kathy Leipman

Dream Interpretation
Son, when I started reading the dream, I thought, oh no! He's been in the cold too much! I was relieved to learn it was a dream. There is a link for dream interpretation. Maybe you should check it out. By the way, your brother can superimpose you standing by the sign in your shorts and Hawaiian shirt. No need to stand in the cold! - Kathy

"Epic Proportions"
Son, If you want so badly to experience an Antarctic storm, I'm sure you will. However, I'm afraid I'll be praying for something a little less than "Epic". Have a nice day! Love, Mom - Kathy Leipman

Beard...
Um... wow. My little brother with a beard! Not shaving can be very liberating, eh? I do hope you are having a good time. When the darkness kicks into full gear, I expect you to be watching the skies... I want "pizza" stories!!! - Dr. Bingham Neddlemictius

I am from Georgia, but I have lived in California for the past few years. I have been working as an engineer since I got out of school six years ago. I have grown tired of working the never changing rat race of ‘normal life’, so I am embarking on a multi-year round the world journey, a retirement of sorts, beginning with a winter contract job in Antarctica. From there, who knows where I will go, but I plan on seeing the whole world and all of the unique cultures, remote wildernesses and amazing history that this planet has to offer. I am planning on traveling as inex... full info
