Plan B

I could drop out of law school, move back to Alaska, and have free room and board while I train dogs to run the Iditarod with me.

Don't laugh, you down southers. It's well within my realm of possibility, and the person who runs this kennel is a friend of a friend of mine.

Norm Vaughan was mushing when he was in his 80's. (Remember him, Karen? He died in the past few years - but he did hit that 100 mark.) When he was 67 and penniless and alone, he returned to Alaska and entered his first Iditarod at 69.

So, I still have time if this whole law gig doesn't work out.
