This is the track at my daughter’s junior high school. This is my son’s Halloween costume this year. A red leaf from the tree in our front yard. This grasshopper is missing a leg. This picture was taken while waiting in an emergency room a couple years ago. My son had accidentally stabbed a shard […]

Here are a few recent pictures I’ve taken. A little while ago, I ate at a local Japanese restaurant and played with my food. This is the result. The green is skins of edamame (soy beans), and the brown is soy sauce. The black is just ink from a regular pen. This is a building […]

Today I tried to see my orthodontist, but the office was closed. It wasn’t a complete waste though. In the parking lot, I saw this corn chip. It reminded me of a logo or something, but I wasn’t quite sure what it was. I described it in chat to some friends, but none of them […]

I have a few more pictures to share. I don’t normally carry pictures of my kids with me. I had my pocket camera with me in Norway, so when people would ask me about my kids, I only had the pictures on the camera to show them. Here’s the picture I showed them of my […]

On the night of day 5, I went to the Trumpet Karaoke Bar. The bartender was very friendly, and was kind enough to teach me some Norwegian phrases that came in handy. She also looked quite a bit like my sister. She even had some mannerisms that reminded me of my sister. I talked to […]

Here is the overdue Norway Day 5 report. Day 5 in Norway was my last full day. I was there with a co-worker (who I’ll refer to as Rick, because that’s his name). Rick suggested that since the weather was great, we might want to leave work while there was still plenty of daylight left […]

For dinner today, I ate reindeer. Hopefully Norway doesn’t have mad cow disease (or mad reindeer disease) because it was really only cooked on the outside. It was pretty close to being reindeer sashimi. It looked like this: I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t so good that I would go out of my way for […]

I’m in Norway. I arrived at my hotel around 4:00 PM local time. (Midnight my time.) I checked in, took a shower, unpacked, tried to get online, wandered around the area near my hotel, had sushi, watched a couple drug deals outside the window of the restaurant, went back to my hotel, tried again to […]
