AHA! The secret's out. Lph works for the Norwegian national power company. What's the lowdown on water levels in the resevoirs? Has our mild Fall helped any?

As for company health and sports programs ... pretty much every largish company has one. At my university they've combined the employee sports program with the student sports league. I get to use the student gym for about $70 per semester . There's also a swim night at the city pool once a week, orienteering races twice a week in orienteering season, ski trips, huts we can rent for hiking or skiing, some canoes we can borrow, etc. etc. All pretty cheap. But then again, that means there's no excuse for being a couch potato -- except that the work load is such that I just collapse and fall asleep after dinner every day. Next semester should be better though (teaching fewer courses) so my 2007 goal is to work out enough to get a head start on the bike season (I'm not a winter biker ) and then get in good enough shape to ride to Hell'n'back before Fall. I've done the distance and then some last season, but the "road to H'll is paved over hills". If I make it to Hell'n'back early in the season, I can stretch the route longer by going up to our cabin and taking the backwoods route (gravel roads) home.
