8 days left of work.
22 days left in California.
Two carry-on bags to pack.
One house to clean and pack up.
One Shasta trip to enjoy.
Countless oysters to eat.
And then on August 11...
Oslo, HERE WE COME!
Now, Oslo, I want a red carpet. It doesn't need to be too big, maybe 4 feet, wait, 1.33 meters wide, and only about 20 meters long. I want it to reach just into the aircraft from which we will deplane. I want the Oslandic version of a manhattan waiting for me as we step off the plane. Kate would like a crisp white wine, not too sweet. As long as those things are taken care of, I think we'll have a wonderful relationship.
