Well, countdown is on, one month from today I leave. Now that the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) Capital Visit and Arctic Caucus events held August 17-19, 2011 inYellowknife are over. For the last 9 months all my energy was devoted to putting the events on, leaving not too much for planning my departure. I have decided to sell furniture and put stuff in storage in Yellowknife, and keep a mailing address here as well. I am not ready or think it wise to pull up stakes from Yellowknife.   Twenty five years is a long time, which didn't sink in until i had to think of where else I would move. No community in the south leaped out to me, so here i will stay until it does, or it doesn't....
