Well, radio silence has been in place for a little bit, it seems - I was getting prepped for a nice 2+ week vacation with my wife to Sweden (most of it) and Iceland (last 3 days).

It was super awesome.

Aside from running around like crazy all through Sweden seeing all the sites, we crashed at the friend's place in Stockholm (while he and his girlfriend were away in Greece) and went out to clubs and bars and such with some of Alyssa's old high school friends who live around Stockholm. Good times indeed.

I do have to say, there must be some attractiveness quotient as a requirement for Swedish citizenship, because just about everyone (no joke) is very attractive. We went out to this one club with Alyssa's friend Alex and two of her girlfriends (me with three girls... alright!). It looked like something out of a Bacardi commercial. You know the type - cool, ultra-modern club with metal and monochrome shit everywhere and everyone in the club looked like they were off of a fashion shoot. Yup. Seriously. I was the like the homeliest person in the club! We close up that one around 3:30 am - and what was wild about Stockholm in the summer, the sun was already coming up (after going down around 11ish). People were all about in the streets, hanging out, trying to figure what else is open.

Anyway, fun times. I will be writing more in various blogs I have laying around and posting tons and tons of pictures very soon. But as for now, back in the States and back to work.

p.s. lost another 7 lbs or so.
