i'm sick AND being taxed too much

What a crappy situation. But since I think reading and/or hearing about other people's colds, flus, and fevers is sooooo boring, I'll spare you the snotty details.

Reading about taxes, on the other hand, now that's fascinatin'. I know that Norway is a socialist country and all, but 45% of my meager monthly earnings going directly to the state is a bit extreme. I figure this is a mistake and I will do whatever it takes to not have to pay that much. And that includes cheating the system. Ha ha!

I am going to my second Tromso Storm B-ball game tonight. One of the players is in the peace program and he said we could have free tickets. So, Scott, along with his dad and brother (who are visiting from South Dakota,) Marjaana, Hanne, and I are gonna brave the snow and cold and take in Tromso's finest sporting event. (I'm just in it for the light show at the beginning.)

Happy Birthdays, Grandmas!
