Just post...

Our good friends, Michale & Karri, are writing a blog--almost diary--of their daily lives with their wonderful kids (Michael and Karri aren't too bad either).  They write wonderful 'slice of life' entries--almost SMS like.  This inspired us--at least Steven--to try his his hand.  Steven will probably have better luck posting if he can just write a few lines about hopefully something interesting.

So here is his first try...

"It finally snowed for a sustained time here in Budapest.  Two whole days of snow!  We don't get much snow which saddens me.  I love the cold and winter, but I want snow!  Related to this is my so-called "happy place."  This is the place you go when stressed or just wanting to daydream for a bit.  My "happy place" is an Estonian evergreen forest blanketed with snow.  I love the solitude and peacefulness.  Diane's "happy place" is in Croatia on a warm sunny day lying on a beach listening to local music and drinking a beer.  Can you see a difference between us?   Alas, winter is nearing its end.  This coming weekend is the Busójárás Carnival (similar to Madri Gras) where people dress up like animals in rather scary costumes to celebrate the end of winter.  I guess spring is a good compromise for Diane and I.  Not too hot, not too cold.  "Just right," as Goldilocks says."
