1.1.11

Happy New Year!!!

So what really comes with a New Year? To me it's only really one thing. Hope. Hope for something better. Hope to improve. Hope to be able to exercise more, drink less, stop smoking, be a better father/mother/daughter/son and so on.
I like New Year. It gives you a clean slate to start something better. I know, I know.. you don't need New Year to start something good but I tellya... it sure helps :-)

So the clean slate of the Gustafson family was to book a ski trip next weekend. Change of scenery sounded good to all of us. We had such a blast last year when we went so we decided that we'll do it again this year. Last year when we were away it was -30C/-22F so the skiing time was max 90 minutes before your toes and fingers started to loose feeling. Hard to believe I still thought it was fun...This year we are going a little further up north to a bigger resort and the forecast is just below freezing so we should be golden! Just hope I stay upright so I don't mess up the start of the season.. not to worry.. long time until it starts anyway ;-).

Bought cross country skis the other day and tried them out. Turns out having a 20 year break makes you kinda bad... And the skis now are SO NARROW! How are they expecting you to stay upright on them? Well, I'm going out on a long ride tomorrow around the golf course and hopefully that will improve my form.

Wish me luck please

  3. Haha! I didn't say I was going to do all them things! I don't smoke but I think it's the #1 thing people try to do after New Year. If you think about it, I'm not going to try to be a better father/mother or brother either ;-).

    Och Majsan, skidorna nu kan inte vara mycket bredare än 2 fingrar..

  8. Land-based and online convergence doesn’t get any more exciting than this. This is Live Roulette recreation action within 점보카지노 the fast lane with a custom designed wheel and skilled reside sellers. Betting occurs solely in the course of the spin so there’s no ‘dead time’ and there’s no time lost in getting on with the subsequent spin, both, thanks to fast video-based profitable number recognition.

  9. 1.1.11" is a date that marks the beginning of a new year. Its symmetry echoes the idea of fresh starts and resolutions. Why VPN Need As a palindrome, it captures a sense of balance and reflection.
