They're still there

Even though we have this deep recession, to my surprise I found one happy couple still alive and well. Business appeared to be a little bit slower than previous years but no sign of a chapter 11 any time soon what I could tell.

Vacation

The kids and I are in a couple of hours heading south on I-95 to Orlando,FL.














What for one might ask. Well, there's an IKEA store and a mediocre place for kids of all ages called Disney World.

See you in a week.

Spring launching

Spring has sprung and with that it's time to launch your boat. If you have had it hauled out for the winter I have a few pointers that might come handy.

1. Peel back cover and inspect last years liquor storage. 1/2 bottle of rum left will come handy.

2. Check exhaust for wintering squirrel, rat or mouse nests before trying to fire up engine as proof that there's still some juice in batteries.

3. Call bank and check balance.

4. Drink leftover rum since you ignored point # 2 and bank balance is to low to fix your screw up.

5. Pull covers tight, there's always next year or you might win the lottery.

Happy boating season everybody!

A diva

David Beckham or could it be our Alex?

It's the latter and I have one hell of a time teaching him good team work. The kid has so much talent it's sickening. He gets to play all the time.

Or I could ask you Tiger Woods or Alex? He tees off at a steady 137 yards and straight again and again.

Then to be honest, he turned 5 in December, and yes I love to brag.

On the road again

Running around like a mad man at work. I'm preparing for a road trip to Maryland. Oh what fun..

Family

we have had the privilege to have part of my family here for a few days. I have to collect my thoughts but I will update y'all.

I really hate the good bye's, my heart is heavy.

Rain

Today we got more rain than the average of the month of April. A steady poor down that really sucked.

My mom, sister and my two nephews are to land this Sunday. I told them it would be like Swedish summer. The weather people are calling for-storms and upper 50's for Mon/Tue. Swedish summer alright. What makes me laugh is that the weekend is to be sunny in the low 80's. I will say as the Swedes: Last weekend was really warm and sunny! You just missed it.

Defense

A night of soccer. Alex is one heck of a defense player ( defense sounds similar enough to Deportivo which Abi happens to like), the difference being I give high fives for a goal scored and Abi for the overall best player. Alex is by far Abi's joy and pride come to overall player, no joke, Alex has game. And a sister that cheers him on.

Afternoon golf

Alex and I spent a few hours on the golf course yesterday. He is starting to be pretty good and I let him put for me once I reach the green.

We tee off from the red tee box, Alex first and then myself. I at times hit a bit further but as of late not always the case. I tend to have to drop a few times as well.

Both of us played well yesterday, we actually got 7 holes in and no, I didn't bring the camera.

Frölunda

They need all the help that they can get to reach this years finals, keep in mind that they are the Indians, a minority in Sweden.
