I have once again returned to my native shores, y'all. I will post, in dribs and drabs, updates and recaps of our two week excursion to Norway. In the meantime, I will lead off with the most negative and pessimistic recap I can possibly conceive of, one I shared with my wife already (who, by the way, I told at some point during the trip that my next wife was going to not only be a local girl but an orphan to boot).
The trip can be summed up as follows:
I told the driver who was coming to pick us up to take us to the airport to begin our voyage to basically fuck off after he called 5 minutes before we were supposed to leave and told me, after I asked, that he was more like an hour away.
I told one of my brothers-in-law to go fuck himself as we were saying goodbye the night before leaving to come back to the States (more on why later). I assured him that I meant it in the nicest possible way, though, as I shook his hand goodbye.
In between those two events, it rained and I gained 8-10 pounds.
Sounds idyllic, doesn't it?
Well, there were some nice moments, but I will blog about those later.
Nice, sooooooo nice, to be home.

Glad you're all back safely. Can't wait to hear about some of those nice moments.
Posted by: caltechgirl at July 9, 2007 03:59 PMGood to have you back. I've been wondering about you. I can't wait to hear more about the trip. I also can't wait to hear what VB said about that comment about your next wife. ;-) I have a feeling it was something incredibly witty. Hugs to you all.
Hey, my relatives there apparently own an island on the western shore that they spend summers. Maybe I can ensure your next trip is better by stranding you on the island. LOL

Posted by: Kathy at July 9, 2007 11:11 PMYou said the F word...Twice! Cool.
I always wanted to tell my ex-wife's sister to fuck off, but never got the chance. She outweighed me by about 100 lbs, so not doing it might have been a wise choice.
