Happy Birthday Nic!
Birthday greetings going out to one of my favorite gal pals Nickie! It seems like only yesterday we were sitting on Santa's lap, and now you have a husband, 2 kiddos, and a Masters degree. Where does the time go? Best wishes for 36! Cheers!

A distant friend of Big Blue
My ride in Big Blue yesterday was making me feel a little nostalgic for summers spent on the Arkansas River as a raft guide camped out in a VW bus. This pic is from when I was traveling through Grand Teton National Park in the summer of 1991.

Real Men Wear Beards?
Not much is happening here in the City by the Bay. We are back to work and in the full swing of things once again, but I am afraid my vacation head still remains a bit cloudy. Clearly, P. has been easing himself back into the work week as well, since I thought I woke up next to Grizzly Adams the other day. At first, I thought he was supporting the writer's strike, or perhaps channeling his inner Chuck Norris, but alas, he just didn't feel like shaving. When I was a kid I bet my Dad $100 bucks that I would never marry a man that had a beard. Peter's still looks a little spotty, so I don't really think it counts. Also to note, although our hygiene remains questionable, (as I type this at 2 pm, I have not yet showered) we have had a home cooked meal everyday this week. There has been freezing, defrosting, and then refreezing involved and it has been deelish! Operation frozen food 2008 has been officially kicked off with a bang!

The Journey Home...
So, as sad as it is, today we begin the journey home. We are sitting at the airport now and our first flight to Munich is slightly delayed. Hopefully we will make our connection and be home later tonight. We had such a fantastic time and it was so wonderful to be able to spend time with family. Thank you to everyone for the gifts, the hospitality, and for making our Christmas so great! We miss you already!

Gott Nytt År!
Happy New Year! To ring in 2008, we went over to Magnus and Johanna's for a par-tay. Good people, good food and good times! (ask Magnus about his bacon wrapped dates!) Not to mention there was some wicked guitar playing going on. Yes, virtual guitar playing via Guitar Hero, not sitting around the campfire singing John Denver songs, guitar playing. Mattias, you are my Guitar Hero!
The boys
Magnus and T. (they think they are high paid fashion models)
Then, we went for a walk across town to have a glass of champagne with Papa Kaj and Anneke. (Note to self: 3" heels and cobblestone streets - not a good combination!) The walk was quite refreshing, and we could see plenty of fireworks. They actually sell fireworks here in the grocery stores!
P. enjoying the fresh air during the walk.
It is tradition in Sweden to bring in the New Year by listening to a reading of Nyårsklockan, which is Lord Tennyson's poem no. 106 translated into Swedish. Ring klocka, Ring!
The Dick Clark of Sweden.

We made it home. This is for you, Hollywood!
