Travelogue, Day 4: Turku
I’m really kind of a grump of late, and I’ll be damned if I can explain why. Some of it is legitimate, but most of it is from stress I can’t pinpoint, and all I can say is that I’d … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 3: Helsinki to Turku
While I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get to spend much time in Helsinki, touring changes a lot when you have a little guy in tow, so I’m pleased that we’ll be staying put for a few days in Turku. … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 2: Helsinki
Well-recovered from our early morning burger run and long walk by what we’ve now found out is a graveyard, the day started well. Mr. Torsten slept until I took him in for a shower at around 10, and I got … Continue reading

In honor of where we’ll be spending the next week-and-a-half or so…
The visuals are cheesy here (YouTube is just full of people setting cheesy visuals to music), but since it’s a cheesy song, and the cheesy song is the point, I give you this courtesy of the InterTubes: More later when … Continue reading
Overwhelmed
So I’ve posted several times about being behind in just about every conceivable way of late (I do appreciate the irony there, by the way), but seriously… there’s just so much to do. We leave for a month in Europe … Continue reading

What is this “real life” of which you speak?
One of the things about having a baby is that all of this literature for new parents begins to arrive at your house, and you have no idea which of it you solicited and which of it you didn’t. Furthermore, … Continue reading
