Debacled

I decided to fore go the pilot ground school since I want to go to Vancouver for the Olympics next month and I kinda need some dough. However, I'll still be taking the fly fishing course. I really don't think Brad Pitt will show up on the river this summer, but just in case, I want to be prepared.
Speaking of dough, flights out of the frozen tundra are so ridiculously expensive. Going to Vancouver is going to cost about $750. Then there's Fairbanks in March and Cabo in May. It's no wonder my savings account is laughable. And no wonder I need a summer job. Got a lead on one today. Census work. I hear it's quite an experience. There's a chance I could end up flying in to some bush communities, if I pass the alphabetizing and simple math test. We'll see about that.
This weekend I'm going to blow through some more money at the Beer and Barley Wine Festival in Anchorage. I read there's always a solid showing of brewers from all over Alaska and "the outside." Can't wait!
