Organized religion and evangelism. I rarely allow myself to talk about it with anyone.<br \/>\n2. Aswan Dam. No, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. No, the midnight sun. No, the Taj Mahal. Hmmm&#8230;<br \/>\n3. 25+<br \/>\n4. <strike>All of them.<\/strike>. Not a one. Okay, one of them was.<br \/>\n5. I wrote a report on the gila monster when I was in elementary school of which I was inordinately proud. Sadly, I no longer have it. Sorry, posterity!<br \/>\n6. English, Swedish and some mostly-forgotten German, but I would like to learn a non-Germanic language someday.<br \/>\n7. Geggamoja! It&#8217;s Swedish for mud\/goo\/gunk<br \/>\n8. For all you who asked what dough-and-fruit was, it appears that sadly, the day of the Pie has passed.<br \/>\n9.

I had a lovely dinner and late night conversation at the home of one of my First Friends yesterday evening, though one of the group was missing. It&#8217;s been a pretty quiet Saturday, sleeping in a little bit, doing laundry, cleaning the bathtub, reading a good book, working on the translation project, recording music, going for a walk in the sunshine with the kids while Anders put the trampoline up in the backyard to their delight. Tonight is the big Melodifestivalen final so we&#8217;ll be parked in the living room with a big bowl of popcorn.<\/p>\n<p>I hope your weekend is turning out as nice. How are you spending it? Are you doing anything special? As you can see from the paragraph above, I am. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That was fun!
