Jack London

Now that we are done with e-mailing the Iditarod mushers, we did a short study over Jack London, the author of the Call of the Wild. I've learned since Jack London was 8, he has been out in the "real world" working. He tried out college, but that really didn't work out. He also became a hobo and traveled across the U.S. and Canada. Jack London also searched for gold in the Klondike, where no one talked. In October, 1816, when he was 40 years old, he ended his life by over-dosing on medicine. He was married twice, and had two girls. When he remarried, he married a girl named Charmane. He also joined pirates, and he owned a boat named the Stark. It must have been really hard for him, especially if he commited suicide. Well, he had a pretty bad life if he had to get a job at age 8!

Iditarod 2010

So far, I've e-mailed a lot of mushers, again. Anyway, some people have responded, and the rest, haven't, yet. I hope that they all respond. Jeff King hasn't had a new litter yet; they are waiting til this summer, when it's warmer. The Buser team is naming their dogs after the people who work on the show Dirty Jobs. Bruce Linton has put me on his e-mailing list, so that's pretty cool! We are going to start The Call of The Wild tomorrow (hopefully)! That's all for now, yup, so peace (Y)

Iditarod 2010

Yay! I got an e-mail from Bruce Linton and he put me on his e-mailing list. Mrs. Hicks is really excited! I can't wait until we start reading the Call of the Wild! I hope a lot of people e-mail me back. So far I've e-mailed Martin Buser, Bruce Linton, Lance Mackey, Dee Dee Jonrowe, and Ken Anderson. I hope I can hear from them all. So far, I've only gotten a reply from Bruce Linton, but I've already said that. A lot of these people have/had cancers that they had to battle out. I'm into the Iditarod so I hope that I can run the Iditarod, too.
