And I was asleep at 9pm. (Though the fireworks roused me for about 20 minutes at midnight.)

The National Folk Museum in Oslo has an exhibit on the Norwegian experience in Brooklyn. Since the 2025 book Blue-Green Rehabilitation has my chapter on Newtown Creek and the Gowanus Canal, I helpfully show their locations to the visitors in Oslo.

For the record, I have not been in Sweden since October and was not involved in the goat’s demise.

Imagining a world in which Joel RL Phelps’s #wprbxmas set is simulcast on all broadcast media. It would be a better world.

Magnificent.

God jul fra Oslo.

Woke up Christmas morning in the dark. (Oslo won't see sunrise until after 9am.) Turned on WPRB to hear the Misfits set. All is right with the world. #wprbxmas

Night Eight.

Oslo, 8:40am December 21. Sunrise will be 9:18am.

Night Six.

The one bit of sunshine in Oslo today was memorable.

Night Four.

Night Three.

We usually light our menorah that is shaped like a moose. This year we are in Norway and did not bring it, but we have determined to observe the holiday with the materials available to us. Which fits the theme of the holiday. Night Two.

The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is underway in Oslo.

Fred Ramsdell attended Foothill College, amassing enough credits to be able to afford finishing college at UC-San Diego in 1983. Today he shares a Nobel Prize in medicine. That is what a society investing in affordable education produces.

News from Kansas City, where ASEH will gather next March.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Greetings from Røros, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site after more than three centuries of copper mining.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

Five million political signs in Copenhagen ahead of the November 18 election. This one is my favorite.

Seeing Pater Saville quoted in the closing keynote of Furniture Seminar 2025 was a nice surprise. Now enjoying the sun in Copenhagen.
