C just reported in. She is in Portland, exhausted, trying to find something for dinner. E apparently can scream in an airplane as well, though it doesn't sound like he minds flying in itself, just being confined. So, all's as well as can be expected. On more short leg and they're there. I'm sure there will be a full report tomorrow.

It's been an odd day for me. It's quiet here! I celebrated my "freedom" by doing the laundry and finally watching Star Wars episode III. And following the Olympics of course. It's good to hear cheers from the Swedish camp and silly excuses from the Norweigan camp. For 14 years it's been the other way around, and it was getting really old.

Tomorrow I shall celebrate President's day by going in to work. Stay tuned for another exciting report about the adventures of a lonely Swede in the US.
