Rob and I had been trying to sell our mini-van for over a year and he managed to do it while I was away. We want to be a one car household, so today I ventured forth, car-free. I ran errands on Tuesday with the help of a Flexcar, but the close cars are booked […]
Well, it’s certainly easy to get up in the morning. What’s with getting light so early? I’m having a bowl of cereal and have some things to add to my list of things that I miss about Iceland. I miss ab-mjolk, skyr, and müsli.
I’m trying to stay up until nine tonight, but I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle. I’ve been very industrious today. I got up with Aaron and MaryClaire to see them off, and then spent the rest of today doing housecleaning. I did dishes and then began sorting things in the guest room. I

Sue brought hummus, olives, smoked oysters and… there was something else yummy on that plate, but I can’t remember what it was.

Oh yeah. Jodi and I have been routed through Phoenix. We got here at ten-thirty this morning and are supposed to leave at two eighteen. Our flight is delayed until 3:20. This is better than where we started this morning. We were scheduled to fly into LA, but not to Portland. Um…that’s not where we
Our flight out of Iceland was delayed and we missed our connection in the States. Jodi and I are staying in Baltimore overnight. I would tell you when we are arriving back in Portland, but the nice man at Iceland Air booked us to Los Angeles. We did not notice till we got to the
I’ll leave my apartment at 1:30 today to start the trip home. At this point I only have to take the garbage out to be ready to do. I guess I’d better go do that now. I’m meeting Bernd and his wife for a quick bite before Sarah picks me up and we head for

Lots of the cast and crew met at the Blue Lagoon today around 3:00, which was a lot of fun. We talked and hung out till we were all wrinkled prunes. I actually managed to schedule a massage; it was lovely. Afterwards we met at a restaurant and talked until midnight. Last night’s party went
