RAGNAR: Hello peeps! Ragnar here! I’m not a Huskie but I play one on tv. The 2016 Iditarod is just 37 days away and as always my Uncle Balladeer’s Blog will be the forum for my Mom’s inimitable coverage complete with on-the-spot nicknames made up for all the competitors.
My Mommy (Rosemary to the rest of you) is a big fan of the Iditarod and she often writes profiles of the competitors.
I’m excited to be watching my very first edition of this storied dog-sled race. It’s pure Americana set amid beautiful Alaskan scenery.

I am very excited this year to have my Ragnar working with me on promoting and providing limited play-by-play for our readers. Not only is Alaska a beautiful state but the Iditarod itself is historical and quite a challenge. THE LAST GREAT RACE ON EARTH.
I don’t blame you for being so proud of him! You and he can work as a team now sharing your enthusiasm for the Iditarod!
Ragnar is a cutey!
I will let my sister know you said so!
Ragnar writes well!
I will tell him you said so!
