Enga mellom fjella

There's always hope.

I need to write about my life using the vernal pool as metaphor. I'll link when I get to it.

ME:

Will my friend Dustin be able to meet me in Paris? He owes me a coffee...

This possibility cheers me up. I realize I'm not spending enough quality time with friends. Not enough quantity either. I easily crawl into my cave. When I'm out and about I greet everyone, but friendship demands more than a how-do...

Real connection is dicier and more time consuming. I think I did better in the 1980s and 1990s. Times have changed ...and I've lived in 5 states in the last ten years.

*sigh*

One cannot have the Past back.

Moving slowly ahead...

Belgium and Luxembourg:

I intend to print out some info and only take my Norway and Sweden travel books with me (maybe). Too heavy. Also figure a new tablet needs to be bought. Still, paper copies are useful for me. Especially maps.

Finished Jo Nesbø's Phantom. Very painful book. Excellent writing; typically psychological, so Norwegian... but very very painful and non-sentimental. One shouldn't care about characters that much.
