For those of you that live in Sweden, you know today is midsommarafton. It’s a day where everyone gets drunk, dances around a pole that is made to resemble a penis and testicles pointing downward, and eat lots of food. That’s the best explanation this Yankee can provide.

So tonight, Markus, Tomas, Max, Robin, and I are planning a picnic. Nothing too fancy, just a variety of meats, vegetables, snacks, and booze. You know, the usual. And then to top it all off — we will go out and party. Because today is a national holiday and I am not expected to be coherent at work until Sunday night.

Well anyhoo…there is a lot of stuff going on, so I will tell you later when I get a chance.
