I got an extremely pleasant shock out of an otherwise very unpleasant day. I was at the Heart of Evil (known in other circles as Wal-Mart), looking for Christmas gifts and happened to notice a new Michael Crichton book. I looked at it. Speculated about it. Decided I don’t want to waste my money on [...]

The other night Mike and I were laying in bed just doing our late night wind down. He suddenly mentioned that we should have celebrated the anniversary of my move to Sweden. The problem?

I am one tired girl tonight. That’s what comes of dancing the hokey pokey, the twist, and other assorted silly dances all day. The schools all have their heat cranked up so high that dancing is not a good idea. I was so stinky when I got home that I couldn’t even stand myself. Degree [...]
