I'll pretend I'm going to Sweden
If you know me, you know how much I want to see the world. I've always been fascinated with the idea of place, and the significance place has in the human psyche (I'm not sure 'psyche' is the right word, but I'm using it anyway). Also, if you know me, you know I just don't have a lot of money to do all the things I want to do, especially travel. So I'm making a wishlist of all the places I want to see before I die. Here's the first item on the list: Stockholm, and the Swedish archipelago (along with a little side trip to Vingaker, land of my ancestors!).

Sailing by the archipelago--hmm, it looks like I'll have to learn to sail before I go.

If only these were my own travel pictures! Sigh, they're not (from visitsweden.com). Maybe one day, though, right? It doesn't hurt to kill time at work making a wishlist.
I have a 16-year-old brother, and he says funny things, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not.
Colton: It's impossible to invent something. Believe me, I've tried.
Today I'm Reading:
"So we came to Beaufort, a town I grew to love with passion and without apology for its serenity, for its splendidly languid pace, and for its profound and infinite beauty."
This Week's Quote
You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world.

Sorry Caitlin, that castle isn't in Sweden, it's in Antwerp (Belgium)
Oops! Well, I'll have to plan a trip to Belgium, too!
