Sailing Viking ships, eating countless bowls of Gr??t, et cetera.  Good clean Norwegian fun.  He&#8217;s also realized after his first trip out that he needs adequate cold and rain gear for sailing in the fjords (gee, you think?) and so he&#8217;s bought a full rain suit &#8220;just like in &#8216;The Perfect Storm'&#8221;&#8230; including the hat. I should point out that suit is white.  How did Karen let <em>that<\/em> happen?

Ants in the bathroom.  Why are there ants in the bathroom?  It&#8217;s totally clean, and there&#8217;s nothing for them to eat.  But there&#8217;s always three or four trooping around the bathroom like they own the place.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh, and then there was the moth.  Little guy, smaller than my pinky fingernail.  Fast bugger, though.  I tried smushing him, but he hopped out of the way.  Tried again, but once again he was too fast.  Finally I hovered close, waited for him to settle, and with one lightning jab, I got him.
