Paul,
You are a lucky man. Typical beautiful Scandinavian wife. Typical happy looking Scandinavian friends. Handsome children. It is no mystery why Norway keeps being voted as the best place on earth to live.
I couldn't help but notice your "Edit Reason" above. Your English is great. Today, I mentioned to a friend that we had a new Pond Boss member from Norway. I told him that you write with a Norwegian accent. He was puzzled. What I really like about your writing is that it reads just like I would expect it to sound if we were sitting around a big roaring fire talking and enjoying a glass of Aass and some fine rakfisk on fresh lefse.

Edit:
My post got me to thinking it is time to prepare some fish for the holidays. I don't try to make rakfisk or surstr�mming. They are too explosive. Instead, I make pickled trout and bluegill using sweet wine, vinegar, salt, and onions.
