    “Ude godt, men hjemme bedst”

    There’s no place like home. Except when two places feel equally at home. I’ve been meaning to post about the last two weeks we spent in Denmark before flying back home, but… I just haven’t. I don’t want the trip, the excitement… I don’t want it to be over. And none of that, don’t cry

    “Travel is the only thing that makes you richer.” — Unknown.

    When we announced that we were going to Croatia, everyone asked who we knew there. The answer, no one. But that was a lie. I had forgotten that one of the first families I nannied for in Denmark had moved to Zagreb. Now, ten years later, it was great to reconnect with them for an

    “Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant.” -Honoré de Balzac

    Paris is ugly. Sure it has the charm of Eiffel Tower and the history tucked away in the Louvre. It has the churches like Notre Dame and Sainte- Chapelle. But Paris also holds a kind of chaos that you don’t see in other big cities. Everyone is in a rush, there is trash along every

    “If Copenhagen were a person, that person would be generous, beautiful, elderly, but with a flair. A human being that has certain propensities for quarrelling, filled with imagination and with appetite for the new and with respect for the old – somebody who takes good care of things and of people.” — Connie Nielsen

    Oh, sweet Copenhagen… This place is always changing, yet in some ways, always the same.   It was such a struggle to get here. Our flight from Paris was delayed out of Seattle and with a little over an hour to change planes, we didn’t make it. We landed 45 minutes late and then it took

    “Up in Memphis the music’s like a heatwave. White lightning, bound to drive you wild.” — Alannah Myles

    After what seemed like a whirlwind of adventure to get to New Orleans it was time to head north. Nashville is about 530 miles north and a little east of New Orleans, which translates to about 8 hours. I wanted an early start to the day as I had plans to stop in Birmingham, AL

    “Everybody here has a story. New Orleans was always a place where people talked too much even if they had nothing to say.” — Chris Rose

    The road to New Orleans was long, but I made it! Traffic leaving Houston was a mess due to an accident that rerouted everyone off the freeway, across a small intersection and then back on. What a nightmare. And then again in Baton Rouge, I spent over 30 minutes on the bridge that crosses the

    “There are no foothills to the Tetons. They rise suddenly in rugged majesty from the rock strewn plain…” — Gustavus Cheney Doane

    I’ve been waiting a long time for this trip. My last road trip of any decent length was in 2013 where I spent the majority of my time scanning the radar for possible tornado activity after a long and exhausting evening in a shelter in Oklahoma. When Kelsey announced that her wedding would be in

    We’re Not Finished Yet…

    Except we just fucking finished it! It’s been a week and I still can’t even handle it. Back in June, July… I was ready for the season to be over. Like, let’s just unplug the season and plug it back in a few months later to prepare for January/pre-season. But then suddenly we got a new

    Brian Schmetzer’s Rave Green Army

    What a night, right? The Cubs won the world series after a really long time.   The Sounders front office got one right!   I had 1200 words worth of Sounders verbal diarrhea to post about last nights announcement making Brian Schmetzer the permanent head coach. But none of it seems to be enough, so

    “If you have a heartbeat, there’s still time for your dreams.” – Sean Stephenson

      After 27 years, he’s still got it! It’s only been in the last 6-7 years that I’ve finally been able to see him live (twice at Snoqualmie, once in Bremerton, once in Kingston and once in Tacoma). In previous years I was either in Denmark or too young to attend concerts in casinos. Anyway,
