Siggi and I went to the pool the other day after a long day of hard work. We were sitting in the hot tub and it started to rain, then it started to hail and then the sun came out. I love sitting in the hot pot when it is raining or snowing.

Yesterday was a fun day. We went to the coffee a shop in the morning to skype and email and other internet related things. It was very rainy most of the day. Sæunn took us to a store that is somewhat like a family dollar store in the US. We bought a shower curtain, and […]

Been watching Hurricane Katrina for the past 15 hours or so, and it is crazy. As I type New Orleans is being battered. Building are collapsing in Louisiana. Water is to ceiling level in some houses already. It is amazing to see the raw and devastating power that nature can muster with the mixing up […]
