It's an article in my newspaper today and thought it was a good, lighthearted look at what many, many people go through here. But not just men with wives who want to leave. My husband didn't like Alaska. It was too expensive and too cold and dark for him. I'm glad we buried him in OK even though I wish I could take the kids and go visit his grave sometimes. Since moving here though, I have found such a power, I'll never leave.
"This state is special, in an unforgiving, brutal cold and dark sort of way. As my friend once said, “summer is the beautiful lie that Fairbanks tells us,” and we suffer through the winters to hear that lie once again."
