just erased my whole blog for the day.. It seemed rather trivial after what I just learned a few minutes ago.

My friend and dog mushing mentor, Holger B. was killed this morning in a logging accident. Holger lived life to the fullest and the rest of us could only hope to do 1/4 of what this man has done in his too short of life. Your life and now the lack of it will have a huge impact on those who remain here. Thank you for all your help, kind words and dogs over the years. You will truly be missed, as everyone who knew you loved you..
