Hello from a bright and chilly Stockholm. Yesterday was a cool day with frost on the ground and I ran the Höstrusket marathon. I still managed to melt like an ice cream. Still managed a personal best of 4:08:22. Which means at 51 I’m still getting quicker. Not sure how many more of them I’m going to try though!

From The Archives

The biggest problem is that our dreams are too small. We are too easily pleased. We have become satisfied with the created rather than the Creator. We have become fulfilled by HD TV, by iPhones and iPods, we have been bewitched by fashion, technology and home improvements. Our dreams are in fact neither individual, nor in reality much of a dream.

What about the consumer dream?

I’d love to hear the interesting things you did, saw, read, thought this past week. Let me know in the comments.
