Not sure if this would be exactly "do-worthy", but I will be moving back to Alaska. I just accepted an offer with my current employer to relocate to the Anchorage area.

After 11 years in Germany and 3 years in Japan before that, my wife and I decided it might be good idea to actually settle down somewhere.

With my daughter attending UAF, this presented a great opportunity not only professional, but personally. We've always said that we would eventually return to Alaska. Apparently "eventually" is now the first week of December.

The good thing (or at least I think it is good) was that I didn't go looking for this job, they came looking for me. The only downside it that it is a short notice move, so I've got lots to do on this end in only a few weeks. Once I get to Alaska, things will be much calmer.

I'm scheduled to arrive in Anchorage on the 8th of December, though it may be a day or two earlier, depending on how many days we stop en route from Germany

Anyway, I'd love to get together sometime after the 8th of December, if people are willing.
