Things that have happened/that I thought about, in the past week

• Went for a wonderful long walk on Friday. Us and some friends. We walked along a coastal walk not far from here, along the fjord, through ancient farms and a lovely little holiday area that felt like it was in New England. Gorgeous day.
  
• One wierd thing happened on our walk?
  
• As we walked along the path, we saw a guy climbing straight up a very tall pine tree in the woods.
  
• He had a camera. He was a really good climber.
  
• When he got to the top of the tree, he started taking pictures of a boat about 50 yards away in the fjord. There was a lady on it, lying in the sun.
  
• I think he was a papparrazzo.
  
• He said it was his boat and he was taking pictures of it.
  
• Seems like a lot of painful effort to get a shot of your own boat!
• Me and Pam called bullshit on that one.
  
• I might have gotten a semblance of color from walking on that sunny day. From white to off-white.
  
• Hoping to repeat the experience today on a smaller scale. Walkies! Waiting for the sun to come out!!
  
• Made bacon wrapped scallops and roasted new potatoes last night. Might lightly pre-cook the bacon before wrapping the scallops next time. Bacon here is kind of thick and wasn't crisp enough by the time the scallops were ready.
  
• Scallops? Very new food for me. Have only started eating them in the last month or so.
  
• Had a very stressful week, complete with a minor anxiety attack on Wednesday. This stress, which I won't go into, will end soon, (I hope!) but the sense of powerlessness I am encountering is well nigh crazy making.
  
• I'm getting an actual, honest to God, white streak in my hair. I'm wondering if the stress is contributing? Not sure how I feel about it. Leave it or cover it? Hmm.
  
• Last week when I went out with 'my boys' from work, did I mention I got hit on by a girl?
• THAT was wierd. We were at the Dubliner in Oslo, she was some random Norwegian chick, drunk as HEY-all, and she hit on everyone in our group, including me.
  
• I kind of hated her. She was kind of a bitch. I didn't want to associate with her at all.
  
• At one point, she snatched my glasses off my face, after first trying to stroke my breasts.
  
• If you want me to punch you, all you need to do is touch my glasses. (Touching my boobs will be handled on a case by case basis. Glasses? THOSE are a different story.)
  
• If you want me to take your ass down, take them off my face.
  
• She knew (even in her drunk state) that she had fucked up, when, as she held my glasses behind her back, I got very cold and serious, and told her, very clearly, "You give me those back immediately. I am not fucking around." (Not that I could see her clearly enough to really hurt her, have I mentioned I am fucking BLIND?)
  
• She gave them back. She could tell I wasn't kidding.
  
• I walked, no, STALKED, off.
  
• The boys were rather stunned, and, I think, excited. I mean, they got to see me get felt up by a GIRL, and they almost got to see a cat fight! Perfect night for a guy!
• I don't fight, fyi. It's tacky.
  
• I had the craziest dream last night, that I was going out with the guy from Mythbusters, Adam Savage? And he was a terrible kisser. I am SO not sure what that was about, but wow, I really know how to dream a bad kiss. Yeuch.
  
• I think that is more than enough randomness for today. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
