I'm done with party arrangements for now until Xmas, working my way through the left-overs, and starting on the thank-you notes after my 60th b'day party. (Actual b'day is tomorrow). 2 down so far; I try not to think of how many left. My grad students gave me a "festschrift" -- an anthology of articles in my honor, with a "tabula gratulatoria" as first page. What with all the authors and signators I must have at least 50 cards to write, and then there are another 25 or so on the list. But each one is a reminder of how deeply touched I was by the gifts and by the party vibe.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

LOL. The only Norwegian I know is Uf Da! And I bet I spelled that wrong.
Duck, have a big slab of b'day cake for me.

No, you ordered the cheesecake with cloudberries this time. Good job! Much tastier! Originally Posted by Trek420

Actually, you wrote "Congratulate on the big Day!" in the form of an order, as in "NOW YOU GO CONGRATULATE HER ON HER BIG DAY!" Seeing as you back that up with a Nidan-degree black belt in Aikido, the person you gave the order to then is then so nervous that she stutters it into the present tense, which is "Gratulerer med Dagen". Again, good job! I think you just earned black belts in cheesecake selection and foreign language instruction as well.Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over.

I just made myself a tuna salad with avocado instead of mayo, fresh lemon juice, chives and green onion, dash of dijon, salt and pepper and chopped walnuts. It came out great! Very pleased

All I know in Norwegian is "ar du ok?" (sp?) Which I heard often from helpful and concerned Norwegians peering down at me as I lay flat on my back having once more fallen over backwards in the snow. Originally Posted by papaver

Thus armed with Norwegian I hope we get to visit again soon. Sorry to have missed this Big Day.
