Why I don't live where there's snow or ice

My latest guilty pleasure is tv.gawker.com. Good for 15 minutes of mental vacation during the day, and to watch the clips of the "Late Night" snipping war. This however was shareable. I sympathize with the driver, just so you know.

Hello

Welcome to my virtual soapbox! Mostly, I share my creative efforts and travels, but every once in a while I take a plunge off the deep end to "express my angst". In case you're wondering, Solslett is the old homestead in Norway, where my Mom grew up. It's the home of my heart. Contact me via solslett at gmail dot com.

You can also find me on LinkedIn, here is my profile.
