Do you know that President Bush is the first American President to acknowledge Leif Erikkson day, to commemorate American-Scandinavian relations.

You are doing OK, except for spelling 'aquavita'. LOL!

You're doing good, sir, as usual.

You're never not.

I just got--two minutes ago--an e-mail from the lovely Beate at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C.--apparently Harald and Sonja are coming this way, next week, with a state dinner with Bush and all that.

Since the 100th anniversary isn't until June or July, I wonder if this is too early.

When Margrethe II of Denmark showed up in Nebraska in 1976 (I was not around, but heard about it), the highways, streets, avenues, lanes, alleys, and village pathways of Nebraska were jampacked with people wanting to see her.

I am not aware she went anywhere else but Washington, D.C., and Nebraska--she came here because so many of your own elder brothers, the Danes, live here.

I think I shall write the lustrous beauty Beate at the Royal Norwegian Embassy, suggesting Harald and Sonja put Nebraska on their itinerary; I am sure I can dig up maybe, perhaps, ten or twelve Norwegians in Nebraska.

Kidding of course, but it's Friday night.....
