Hi Kurt! :hi:

So glad you popped in for a chat! We've had a few people from Scandinavia from time to time, and I find it fascinating to learn more about your countries.

A while back, there was a fellow from Finland here, talking about the hours of the workweek there. Certainly makes a lot of sense to me to have a shorter work week, and more time for family. Also, he was talking about more vacation time, because the Fins believe it's important to travel. In fact, he was talking about available sabaticals so that people could periodically have the time to travel to further places. They value travel as an educational way to learn more about the world. I certainly appreciate their priorities!

He was talking about possibly setting up a forum for people who would like to talk about these issues, and I would *love* to see that happen. Do you have any interest in that?

I also want to say how much we here in the US have appreciated the support from the rest of the world in terms of protesting against the occupier of the White House. It has been soooo depressing, and to know that we have the support of others around the globe means so much to us, and we thank you! Please, do not let up the pressure..... the more the rest of the world expresses their displeasure, the more chance we have of getting rid of the squatter in the White House. Hopefully we can return the favor in a better way. :)
