back to the real world

It was tough leaving my family and friends in Houston again. Especially tough saying goodbye to my niece and nephew. Pretty tough to hear your 9 year old nephew say "dont go Uncle Guy, move in with us".
But vacation time is over, and hopefully I will see them again this summer.
The trip back was long and boring, as usual. But for once there were no delays or lost luggage!
Oslo is covered in a beautiful white blanket of snow. But oh.. my.. god.. how is it possible to be this cold??
My apt was incredibly cold so I turned on every furnace and fired up the fireplace. It's been 24 hours now and the apt is just barely getting warm.
So I think I'll snuggle back under the blanket for a while longer.

Here are 2 shots I took from the plane as we came in over Oslo.
