Gotta give a shout out to our Scandinavian peeps on Norway's Constitution Day. Happy Day!
This also happens to be the birthday of my late grandfather, a full-blooded Norwegian, which I suppose would be something akin to having your birthday on St. Patty's Day as an Irishman or on the 4th of July as a US citizen. True to his stoic Norse roots, gramps didn't get too crazy with his celebrating. A bit of aquavit and maybe a piece or two of lefse (with butter and white sugar only, thankyouverymuch) would be the extent of it. Subdued and sublime.
What's your subdued and sublime celebration for today--and every day?
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. - Robert Louis Stevenson
