Yes, yes, I know, I’ve a bit behind in my posting, but I have reasons. Good solid, will definitely hold up in school, even without a note, reasons.
See over the past month we’ve been engaged in a variety of exotic activities. Very exotic activities in very exotic places. Well, kind of exotic. Okay, maybe more unusual than exotic. Anyway, sometimes you get back to your room at the end of the day, dead tired, and possibly having had one more snifter of brandy than was really wise, considering that you have to get up at 5:00 AM tomorrow, and well, you end up falling asleep before you finish that devastatingly witty post you thought up, in between the second and third courses at dinner. I’m sure the above scenario must happen to some people who possess both a work ethic and genuine talent. I, on the other hand, bereft of both talent and the slightest interest in actually working, ended up returning to our room at the end of the day, and succumbing to the questionable charms of Swedish television.
Instead of writing, during our Christmas vacation, we rode a dog sled:
They never mention the smell in the movies.
Afterwards, we drove around on a snowmobile (where my wife exhibited, yet again, a preternatural ability to drive motorized conveyances, far exceeding my laughable efforts):
Snowmobilin’ Mama.
And then I rode a sled towed by reindeer (I’m the blur on the right):
Weeeeeee!!
So now that I’m back home again, and over my Christmas cold, I’m ready to buckle down and finish writing up our various adventures. Unless there’s something else new and shiny to distract me.
