That’s a fresh, warm waffle with cloudberries. Christmas market in the old square. The happiest I was all week. More photos at Jen’s.

What shoes did you end up buying? Were those Nikes? Having a mild (or so I would believe) shoe fetish, I was curious about those blue Adidas... Ah shoes.

I needed basketball shoes and I am poor, so I ended up with the cheapest pair I could find, which happened to be Nike, but also happened to be free from all the racing stripes and junk and gunk the more expensive sneaks are stricken with. Oooh, remember the Pumps?
People here in Stockholm love their Pumas and Adidas, and I don't blame them. They are stylin'.
Don't I look sadly out of place in my long coat and beard buying athletic shoes? Hilarious.

Damn, I've got to fix this comment page. It's a mess.

Beard is scary. Beard is scary. Beard is scary. Beard is scary. Beard is scary. Wasn't there talk of a close shave and some black dye? If I told someone that these photos were of a 45yr old man I knew, it would be totally believable. At least he would be a jolly 45yr old man. Looks like fun!
Your beard is scary.

My plot to look as old and hermit as possible is going according to plan! But, lest you never speak to me again, I have put up some images of a younger, less frightening me. Hmm, all but the last one.

By the way, anonymous, your workplace further demonstrated its lameness by pretending to take yet another message today when I called. I assume they did not give it to you. I hope that place goes down in an earthquake while you're away at lunch...in a shelter.

I have to agree with anonymous. Beard is scary. Unless it so so cold in Sweden that you are using it to keep your face warm. But then you're just taking the EASY way out. Be more like a woman, coldie, and go sans beard!

Stephen, I wanted the pumps bad when I was a kid. Could never afford them. Funnily enough, my friend's pumps always broke down (i.e. deflated and burst) thus rendering overly expensive shoes useless. Or well, a lot less cool on the coolness scale.
I've always wanted to grow a beard just for the sake of it, but my hair doesn't come in as full or thick, it's all scraggly and messy and just makes me look retarded.

My vote is to keep the beard. If you're going to be away from the girlfriend for a year, you might as well let it all out. Kinda like ice-fishing in Minne-snow-ta, except for an extended period, and no Miller High Life.

Why would you want to be like a woman and go sans beard?
Keep the beard!
