Where's the summer???

Here it is the middle of June and I am still waiting for summer.... I have been going in a tank top now for a couple weeks in a type of demonstration to the weather gods... Warm weather??? Not to easy to find in the northern hemisphere for the past 4-5 years.. The last time I can remember the real nice Norwegian summer I have had here, must be the last year I worked in Halden. That was a good summer. The weather was totally super, I can even remember being in Bergen for almost a week without rain.. That is unheard of... We have had some nice weather, but no warmness... Yeah, yeah, yeah... not to much to do about that I guess, other than move the hell away da, but that is not going to happen, at least not in this life, having kids living here makes it a non-issue... In the future? Oh yeah... then the game is different, maybe my kids will choose to live in the states, being that they are American and have that opportunity.. Bla bla bla.. I know... Having some time free soon, have about three weeks + vacation this summer.... what to do, what to do?? Maybe nothing this year, stay at home and save some cash for once?? Here in Saltnes, if the weather is good, there is a lot of outside things to do actually, biking, golf, hiking, beaches, boating... Noway can be a real nice place in the summer, at least the few weeks a year we have it da..........

Golf wise? Nada Mucho... Would be cool to pick up the sticks and play some soon, been a long time since I tee'd it up for real... the nine holes I played on the 17th of May does not count... but I do miss it... maybe when the little guy is a few more years old, then maybe I'll have the time to devote to playing... If there is one thing I know about golf, it's almost always fun to play, it's just about your mindset in regards to what the purpose of the round is... bla bla bla.... gotta go anyway... peace, love, and all the good stuff people...

Another season...

Basketball season is over for this time... each and every year it's like a chapter in a a book, each player playing his role in the storyline, each having his role within the whole... The bball season here is actually about 10 months long, something that is not usual for at least most people from over there... the hoops season is maybe 5 to 6 months and is of course more intense because of it. Looking forward to letting the guys get some time free from the regular practices and let them play some 'open gym' and just enjoy the game for what it is. Hoping that I'll be able to use some more time with each player next season, individual time that is necessary for the progress of each player as individual but the team and club as a whole. Things are seeming to be good and plans are moving to things being all good vet du :-) Nothing would be better than seeing the players after a few months of individual work and how that would affect everyones performance in a positive way... Gotta go..again :-)

Summer??

Has it come? Feels like it, wearing shorts and tank tops... in my mind nothing is better than being able to take off some layers and let the sun hit my skin... Not that I'm a big sun worshiper or anything, but sun in some senses is good for the body and soul?? Right? I guess one can argue just about any side of any issue nowadays, but I have to just admit my human feelings... and that is that warmth and sun = good.  :-)

Been nice the last weeks here in the north europe, nothing is better than a good norwegian summer, really, the the landscape is beautiful and it has some very nice beaches, golf courses and other 'things' to do outside... But the overall beauty of a nice norwegian summer is something one just has to experience I guess, and the thing is, they are sometimes so far and in between that even living here for the past 17 years or so... well, I've had maybe 6 or seven really good warm summers.. Hope people... keep the good thoughts pouring in da :-)

Golf wise? Nada... hehe.. really sad in a way, but the knee would never let me to compete for real again, until the operation is done, and the thing assessed proper, maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to train myself into such alright shape that the knee won't be so bad to deal with for the next ten to fifteen years.... then it's probably going to be a full change job on it... bla bla bla bla I know... gotta go da.. be good world, peace and love to the masses da...

Good Bye Gothenburg (Goteberg)

This has been the best 6 day trip I can remember... Being together with my loves, the bballers and my one and only.. The weather was super, the basketball was fun and the rest of the time was spent well, doing what people do who are in love... We walked the streets of Goteberg, all hours of the day and night, talking, holding hands, around each other,  thinking about two things, each other and bball... hehehe... true so true though.. This has been one very special trip for me... has brought me closer to what I have been looking for, and for that I will never forget, learning and accepting each other for who we are and cherishing each other anyway... Goteborg, we will always have it, and the great thing is it's going to happen again, each and every year... I do, and will continue do believe that this will be something I write about in my book... yes it's been more than special for me sweetheart... I'll relive this vacation again and again for years to come... but the fun thing is we have all the time in the world to make new memories, here, there, anywhere....
