This weekend I was back in DC to see Joshwho got himself a job there after graduating this summer. He looked very much like himself and so did the White City though this time void of the many Christmas decorations that adorned it when I was there last. The picture is from the trendy Mexican […]
Apparently not only power corrupts, money does too. This morning I got a letter from the scholarship, the people who have been sending me around the world, making this whole last year possible. The letter said something to the effect of “Thank you for sending in your bookkeeping, we’ve reviewed it and your documentation, it […]
Varmt, grænsende til for varmt solskin på de blottede dele af min hud. Bestemt for varmt på de tildækkede dele – det medbragte udvalg af min garderobe er passende til efterår og sorte toppe er ikke nær så komfortable når der er 25 grader, en let brise og skyfri himmel. Nogen har vist ofret fedekalven […]
The wind is howling, sending sweet-smelling air in through the window. It’s 5 am and I’ve given up on sleep – apparently my body is very well aware, thank you, that in real life it’s almost noon. Ironically jetlag seems so much easier to conquer when having a busy shedule – give my system too […]
Så er jeg her igen.Efter en lang tur der begyndte med en meget tidlig morgenmad med min morgenduelige Mor er jeg igen på den anden side af Atlanten, tilbage i Ithaca. Det er så småt begyndt at være tradition at min Far kører mig til lufthavnen og sender mig afsted når jeg er på vej […]

Last night I felt mind-numbingly alone. Moving myself and the mattres so the ray of light from the exactly full moon touched my face I tossed and turned as the night strolled by, magnificently lit and at leisure. No companion-arms to share warmth with.No fellow-mind to shield me.No other-soul to cherish and know. All of […]
Rigtig mælk, ikke mere end en time eller to har den været i tanken på Bjørnsholm. Ikke skummet, ikke kærnet, bare mælk helt frisk og uden behandling.Måske kommer den herfra?(Nej, det gør den nu næppe, nok snarere fra de andre ude på marken.)Var jeg kommet ikke så meget senere var tanken blevet tømt af mælkebilen […]
It’s the first days of fall but the land does not know it yet. The green and golden hues of summer-strong trees and ripe crops fill the landscape, gently held in place by a warm blue sky, as I drive out of the city, west later to turn north.A few white clouds play along the […]
