So, it’s time again for a post, I owe my wonderful friends back in Sweden another update, so here it goes!!! Today is Monday, April 10, 2006, and I’m sitting in a hotel room in New Hampshire, clear across the country from my beloved SoCal. However, life is good, we are staying at a very nice hotel, and we are eating very good!! We have a vendor here in New Hampshire, and we are doing a little business visit, but I will be home on Wednesday. There is nothing better than when the airplane wheels touch down back at John Wayne airport in Orange County, and I can see palm trees again!! Also, I miss the kids and Kathy something fierce when I travel, but when the job calls for travel (and the bills gotta be paid), I get on a plane and go. So, what has been going on lately? We had a great gig with our oldies band on Friday the 31st of March, at a little crazy club called the British and Dominion Social Club, in Fountain Valley. The gig went surprisingly well; I haven’t been on stage since playing with Janne in 1986, Randall (rhythm guitar and vocals) has never played with a band before, Mick (lead guitar) haven’t been on stage since 1975, and Robert (bass), last gig was in 1968!!! So, needless to say, we were a bit rusty, but the audience had a great time! So, I will keep you all posted on the comings and goings of our band (BandAge), and how it all transpires. So, more crazy stuff; On Sunday the 2 of April, I was at the skate park after a bike ride, when I got a call from the Irvine fire department. Kathy had been up on a ladder outside trimming a tree, and the ladder wobbled, and down she went. Luckily, she did not hit her head, but she did break her arm. So, a few pins, a few yards of titanium wire and a few rubber bands later, she now has an enormous cast on her right arm. Poor thing, but the doctor says she will be as good as new in 8-12 weeks! I’m trying the best I can to help, doing the house chores and stuff, and generally trying to being the best husband ever (not an easy job!!). So, what about last weekend you say? Well, I had Friday the 7th off from work, so I spent pretty much the whole weekend with the family, riding my bike, doing a little jogging and taking some long walks with our wonderful great dog Sidney, a border collie mix that we got from the Irvine Animal Shelter. She is soooo smart, but she has pretty much destroyed the whole back yard (but we love her just the same). The weekend weather was great, just a few high clouds, and about 65-70 degrees F. On Sunday we went to the horse show, this is for show jumping, and what Chelsea likes best. All in all, a wonderful weekend, and life could not be better!!!!! I know I drive you all crazy with my rantings from SoCal, but life here is truly great, the weather, and my wonderful and wondrous family. By the way, where else in the world can you see 10 Ferraris driving around on the streets just in one weekend (not to speak of every other car that is made anywhere on the planet, if you are in to that sort of thing). So, my life could not possibly be better (well, more money of course), the sun is shining, and the palm trees are gently being rocked back and forth by a mild breeze from the Pacific. My God, Life is GOOD!!!

Kul att du får ut och resa lite i tjänsten, det gör att man upptäcker hur bra man har det hemma. Jag saknar verkligen värmen, palmerna och "The great Paciffic Ocean". Tempot i SoCal är verkligen nåt att avundas samt klimatet. Du verkar ha fullt upp under helgerna med familjen, det måste kännas skönt att ha hittat rätt i tillvaron som det verkar. Du ska veta att jag saknar att umgås i första hand med dig men även Kathy var ett trevligt sällskap. Hoppas på ett återseende någon gång i framtiden innan jag lämnar in. Ha det bra så länge och hälsa familjen.
