stalled

i made it all the way to october, but my daily posts have stalled over the past week. there are two good reasons for this:

1) i end up working quite a few evenings with my current job and the last thing i feel like doing when i finish is sitting in front of my laptop

2) even if i wanted to, my laptop isn't sofa friendly right now. the keyboard has started to die and therefore i'm stuck using an external keyboard and mouse.

i'll try to pick it back up. now what was it i thought i'd write about again....?

Hi: Don't worry about it. I've been "on vacation" from blogging for nearly a year. I moved back to the US from FInland with my new wife and we are now living in Portland. I was reading your blog since before Madeline was born and I must say she has turned into a wonderful little person. I'm back on the writing trail and look forward to catching up. Stay well. Michel

Hello my friend,
don't beat yourself too much! Somehow, this reminds me of Watkins: shortly after I arrived there, I thought it was normal to ace all your classes... alas, it was not. One must not ace all classes. And one must not post blogs every day. (And it's OK if the dust bunnies gather in the corner etc, etc, etc...) That's at least what I'm struggling to persuade myself most days, when I don't fulfill all that I set out to do.

At any rate, I really am commenting only to recommend a good book: Astrid and Veronika by Linda Olsson. She's a Swede who lives in New Zealand, and she wrote this book (her first one) in English. Aside from finding the linguistical aspects totally intresting, I just loooooved the book. It' a good (and fast) read.
A must-read, in my opinion. Take care and schoene gruesse aus wien! /susanna

Great to see you back again!
Hey, did you get a box from me?
Spent the weekend in Bellevue and was thinking of you. :)
