It's a clear evening as Scandinavia passes below us.
I always get a little emotional flying to Sweden (I originally wrote
'back' to Sweden). Maybe it's the two cans of Pripps consumed
inflight, but I do feel tremendously lucky to have found this
beautiful place with so many good friends. And to have designed and
built a little house here seems like scarcely believable good fortune
right now.
I also feel compelled to report (the effect of the Pripps again) that
as i compose this post, I'm listening to one of my favourite
recordings, a reconstruction of 'Smile' by the Beach Boys, the story
of which is just like its music: by turns beautiful, mysterious, and heartbreaking.
I'll probably regret posting this, but what the heck.
Getting sentimental in your "Old" age? It's OK, now that I've caught up, I do it, too!!

Oh you two sappy old geezers!
ReplyDeleteE- I suspect that was my wife with that comment! She's getting cranky in her old age...
ReplyDeleteWhat, me cranky??
ReplyDeleteI love you two!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's that little bit of Swedish blood in you that triggers your sentimental feeling about returning "home".
