2009?
It's been a very busy and happy time - so busy that something had to give - and that's why the blog's been dormant.
Here's a brief recap of the first part of 2009.
- Early January: Training in Seattle.
- Mid January: Visit to Canada. Surprise birthday party for my mother in Toronto. Visited the Tangs in Montreal. Perused old school papers of Kendrick in the basement.
- Late January: layoffs at my company. The Danish process is both fair and agonizingly slow.
- Early/Mid February: work work work. Scrambling with layoff fallout, interviewing laid off candidates, mid year appraisals on a tougher bell curve. Dealing with stressed out employees. Valentine's day was spent with friends (Arcadio, Karen, Jordi, Sabina) in order to boycott the hype. Arcadio and Karen surprise us with an over-the-top valentine's day themed dinner. Pink stickers linger for weeks.
- Late February: Visit from Auntie Lisa. She is absolutely delighted by Copenhagen. She is also hands down our most knowledgeable visitor on Scandinavia.
- Early March: 5 day trip to Bologna (Italy) with Betty. Took a full day cooking course in the culinary capital of Italy, including shopping for ingredients and making pasta from scratch. Considered test driving a Ferrari but chickened out. Zoomed around the countryside in a pretty white Fiat 500.
The rest of March gets more interesting, but that will have to wait for another time. Time to make dinner!
