you live in a small town when...

• ...on the radio sports report you hear an announcement to remind the members of the Senior Games team to come down and get fitted for their uniforms.
  
• ...you call someone to ask if you can look at their apartment tomorrow and they say they won't be around but they'll leave the door open so "just come on in a have a look around"
  
• ...the local news is broadcast in Inuktitut.
  
• ...every Friday afternoon, the radio station broadcasts a "shop & swap" where you can call in and sell your extra kittens or mason jars or chevy truck. And it's very popular.

Life is good in the Yukon. I got hired as the Education and Employment Services Coordinator at the Yukon Council on Disability. I started today. There are three people in the office. Similar type of place and purpose as the Neil Squire Foundation except it is much smaller. There'll be a steep learning curve as the current ED is moving on to work as a Disability Employment Consultant with the Territorial government as of Thursday this week. After that, I'll be on my own with one other employee until the new ED starts in September.

We finally got a chance to look at some places. Nothing really too impressive but there are a few options. We should know more by the end of the week.

Luckily we are getting dogified because everyone and their dog has a dog around here.
