Gonna Try to Come Back.

USA NorwayIt’s been over a year (maybe 2?) since I posted last. Working and kids and health have taking priority over anything online. Now that things are getting, well, a little easier, I figured I would make an effort to post again. I shudder to think how bad my writing will be.

So my Norwegian has improved! I find many moments where I am listening to Norwegian and forget that it isn’t my native language. I credit a great deal to the fact that I have fixed some sleep problems I have had for the last 15-20 years. Sleep Apnea. A sleep test proved it was severe. I have been a walking zombie for many many years.

It’s winter vacation, -20c and I am sitting on the couch watching the olympics. Nice cozy Sunday night.

See you soon.

Plans for the New Year

New Years in Norway is spectacular. I remember the first time I watched fireworks go off in the thousands, in every direction, through a valley, as far as the eyes can see. 

Here’s what I got for this year.

I just got in contact with a girlfriend I had when I was 16-17 years old. Turns out she lived here in Norway for 14 years and has two kids who were born here. She’s back in Buffalo now. A part of me wished she still lived here. It would be nice to have more American friends to hang out with. 

I have been purposely staying away from politics lately. I don’t want to to know anything more until january 20th. Given the last 7 years and 10 months I dread to read what Bush will leave as a final fuck-you to the country. 

I also have been sleeping 16-17 hours a day. It is as if I have been switching to hibernation mode. Sleep, go to work, sleep… I am just going to let it keep happening. If the body speaks you gotta listen.
