Byes and boredom.

Dave and Laura, two of my close friends up here in Fairbanks had to bid Fairbanks adieu a few days before I did. After finishing her PhD up here in Chemistry, Laura and Dave are headed to North Carolina to live and work for awhile. In their honor, we all headed out to Silver Gulch, in Fox, Alaska to say good bye over fine cuisine and delicious adult beverages.


Here's Donald posing with his semi-exotic looking Raspberry brew at Silver Gulch. We had a great big table, and I got to see Randy, Kendra, Jennifer, Dan, Carrie, Donald, Dave, Laura, Michael, Ted and Colin before my departure as well...which was lovely.


The following morning, Dave and Laura left...so in an attempt to curb my depression about their departure, and my inevitable departure...I went and bugged Colin at work. He works on campus at the Patty Center, which basically means he does nothing and gets paid for it. This is where your tuition goes, people....drink it in, it's delicious.


As you can see, it's a laugh a minute. But it was nice to be around people and get my mind off the fact that I was leaving in a couple days.....whaaa whaaa whaaaaaaaaa.
