The saying “when it rains it pours” is unfortunately true. I had been having a really bad week as far as technology goes. My in-law’s computer experienced a hard drive failure, my brother-in-law’s computer needed some upgrades, and Continue reading “I am not Tech Support!!!”
So my wife tries to kill me……
Well not really, but I do think she was trying to scare the crap outta me. The day started when Ski has this “great idea” to go biking to the beach where her family has been going for years. Now keep in mind that this is Norway, THEY DO NOT HAVE BEACHES. THEY Continue reading “So my wife tries to kill me……”
Leaving Copenhagen
Our final day in Copenhagen was mellow. We got up late and had brunch before checking out of the hotel. Ski wanted to do the whole touristy canal tour thing. We had done it the previous year but she thought the kids would appreciate it a little more since they were older. It wasn’t too expensive so I didn’t Continue reading “Leaving Copenhagen”
Copenhagen: Day Two
I slept in late today while Ski and the kids went to an art exhibit on the outskirts of the city. I stayed in bed and just chilled. I purchased the high-speed broadband connection for the hotel service so that I could surf and download comics and music. The connection speed was so bad that I should have bitched and got my money back. Oh well, live and learn. I will pass on the Continue reading “Copenhagen: Day Two”
Copenhagen: Day One
After getting settled in our hotel room the kids dragged us out to go see the city. We walked for awhile around downtown Copenhagen and did some shopping. I was determined not to go crazy shopping since the exchange rate of the dollar was so piss poor at this time. But I had to buy a new shaver because I forgot to switch the voltage adapter Continue reading “Copenhagen: Day One”
Straight outta Oslo!!
I am leaving on a short trip with the family today. Ski and I are taking a four day boat cruise with the kids to Copenhagen. DFDS, the company that sponsors these trips, usually offers decent packages for short getaways. We are going to sail down from Oslo to Copenhagen on the “Pearl of Scandinavia”. We had taken this trip a few times in the past by ourselves but this was only the second time that we had taken the kids. We debated on whether or not to Continue reading “Straight outta Oslo!!”
Birthday Abroad
It is funny that as you get older that you start to look forward to celebrating your birthdays less and less. I must admit that turning 42 was somewhat of a downer. I mean I am glad that I made it to this age, and I hope to get much, much older. It is just that I always associated Continue reading “Birthday Abroad”
Trippin’ in Sweden
Ski’s mom and I drove down to Sweden to pick up Ski and the kids from horseback riding camp. They had been gone for about six days, and to be honest, I missed them. It was funny because I was so excited about the prospect of being left alone for Continue reading “Trippin’ in Sweden”
Harry Potter and Me
I have never been a big fan of British imports but in the last few years I have become obsessed with them. I mean everything from Harry Potter to Doctor Who. I bring this up because I finally got my copy of the new, and final, Harry Potter novel. Hopefully I won’t sound like a major nerd by saying this, but Continue reading “Harry Potter and Me”
Working out ain’t no joke!
Getting back into the swing of working out regularly has been more of a challenge than I thought. However the upside of this change has been that I have started get back to my old playing weight. I got about another 10 lbs until I am able to fit back into my high school jersey. Now I just gotta get my knees in playing form so I can get my hops back. I really wanna get to the point where I can dunk easily again. Continue reading “Working out ain’t no joke!”
