Three Perfect Days in Sudavik
I rarely read the complimentary in-flight magazine that airlines provide. They tend to consist mostly of advertisements for steak houses and totally sketchy professional matchmaking services. Apart from the crossword puzzle, the only other section I ever read is the standard "Three Days in X"...
How I Spent My Summer Vacation
I don't remember ever being assigned to write an essay about my summer vacation. If I had, I would have ended up writing about the time I took a summer class on landscape gardening. Or learning how to program in BASIC. Or that one time I took a film making class at the Field Museum and we got to...

From Iceland, With Joy
Cruising Wikipedia, I noticed that yesterday was Icelandic National Day, which celebrates their independence (in 1944) from Denmark. To celebrate that (and because this song played on my iPod on the way into work this morning), I thought I’d share a little of my favorite Icelandic export – the...
