SPEAKING OF WHICH

Years ago, a friend who was a teacher asked me to speak to her English students about my thoughts and opinions of living in Sweden. I don’t remember much about it, except that I stood in front of a class of high school kids and told them what my experiences were and answered their questions. My kids were small then, and I had only been in Sweden for a handful of years or so. Now, I’ve lived here for nearly 23 years. My kids are, to all intents and purposes, grown and heading out on their own adult journeys. They...

OUT OF SORTS

It’s not good when your jokes about wanting to kill people and hide their bodies start to have an edge of real possibility to them. I’m just now realizing that maybe working all summer and only taking a minimum of vacation was possibly not the best plan for my mental health. On Friday, one of my colleagues sent an email to a new co-worker titled “Useful links” and in it she gave the email list address that we use for a weekly internal eNewsletter. She accidentally included the email list address in the cc field of the email, so it...
