Dr. Darling, Dream Catcher

19797v1-max-150x150

So the Swede’s gawd-awful-early alarm clock woke me from an odd dream this morning, and as long as we were both awake I figured I might as well tell her about it. I was on a road-trip with three good friends, and as is often the case in my dreams, they were not people I …

Beyonce biljett BUST

145906886_80_80

For the non-Swedes, “biljett” is Swedish for “ticket.”  And in this one case, my love of alliteration trumps my need for you to know what I’m talking about in the title of this post. Last week I mentioned that I thought I might try to score some tickets to see Beyonce when she performs in Copenhagen …

via shazzersurfing.net Based on the appearance of this weekend’s juice concoction, I was sure the Swede had been inspired by Dr. Seuss. (Either that, or she was just highly successful in trying to match the exact hue of of our green veggie cutting board.) But it turns out, Dr. Darling has never even heard of …

A spouse by any other name

Copenhagen‘s PhD Postal Carrier worked late today and through some minor miracle, I actually managed to leave my office when I was supposed to for the first time all week. This put us both at the Penthouse Nordic at the exact same time, which hardly ever happens. So we’re talking to each other as we …

Introducing ShazzerTV

10724v1-max-450x4501

For some unknown reason, the social-media-shy … no, make that social-media-phobic Dr. Darling has decided that the raw, extremely amateur videos I shot with my iPhone during our recent safari in Tanzania should have a wider audience than just Flickr. This is a somewhat stunning development for the notoriously private Swede, who normally just barely …

“Shitting pretty” on the Serengeti

7878775790_9b8227debc_n_d

The following is an account of our hot air balloon safari, which delivered on its promise to be a “highlight” of the trip for all the wrong reasons. It is posted here with the requisite TMI WARNING. We set our alarm for 4:30 a.m. to insure that we were ready when the balloon crew came to …
