I don’t know if I do, know when to go I mean. When do you really? Snow is such a complex thing. So how do you know when you know? How do you know that you aren’t just trying to convince yourself that it is safe because you want it to be? How do you … Continue reading Go when you know
March 26. 2017. The light has returned to the Arctic. Today, we lost 1 hour due to daylight saving. This is my first post in a very long time. It doesn’t contain any deep thoughts, just a recollection of the time that has past. It is more a private diary than a public blog post. … Continue reading Long time no hear
After two weeks of sitting on my ass (first because of the flu, then the AVI conference, and finally because of the flu again), my body was screaming for activity on Friday. As everyone in the vicinity unfortunately get to experience, all sitting on the butt and no play makes me a very grumpy and … Continue reading What a weekend two days make
The sun has finally come back to Umeå. In the mountains, the snow keep falling from the sky. Martin is in north Norway looking at funky layers in the snow. I’m looking at the sun through the window, while I lift my leg for the 100th time. Forward, backward, up, down, to this side, to … Continue reading A walk down memory lane: -40° C in Kittelfjäll
Still not completely at the other side of the tunnel, but January is officially over. Puh. Two research proposals have been sent in and half the course in microeconomics has been hammered into the heads of my students (I hope). Wohaah! I knew this was coming, so I shouldn’t complain, but having the flu during … Continue reading Old love never rusts
2013 is dead, long live 2014! And all hale Martin, who did not wake up at 6 am on New Year’s day, and eating bacon and eggs and home made biscuits (but not drinking the coffee) at the local diner and watching men with fantastic mustasches and cowboy hats, and eating ice cream before all … Continue reading Two weeks in Jackson – Part III – High expectations
New Year’s Eve 2013… The end of a, yes I said it, epic year. We had initially planned to drive to Telluride on Dec 31st, but since the snow kept falling over Jackson (and not at all over Telluride), and since Matt and Alyssa were coming over from Lander, we decided to stay put. After … Continue reading Two weeks in Jackson: Part II – No disappointments on disappointment peak
So 2013 is officially over. I actually feel a bit sad about it, it was such a good one! I have never before experienced a year that just kept bringing it on: First, the encounter with the wild west of the prairie around Laramie, with its wild horses, antelopes, and fantastic cars, and the really … Continue reading The end of a damn fantastic 2013
Memorial Day, in theory a day for Americans to remember and salut the services provided by war veterans to the US society, in practice a very good excuse to go camping and having a weekend long barbeque. I have never before had the privilege to celebrate Memorial day, so I can without a doubt say … Continue reading A memorable Memorial Day weekend
Once again, but for the first time in 3 weeks, I endured a revellion at, not 5 am, but 4.45 am… Jeebs, I still don’t get it that I do this! Yesterday, I got home at 7.30 pm from a great mtb tour with Jenn and Natalie (Yes, that was the premier on the Enduro … Continue reading Early morning, Im not working, gone to harvest some spring corn
