This past month was a time for celebrating within the confines of my mind. Lunch in Sweden with my guy friends, coffee with an old (and I don't mean that in age old) but in time old friend, my gig at Rubarber Jazz club in Stockholm, baseball game for my birthday with my whole family (daughter and her spouce, Son and his spouce and twin boys grandsons and my wife)......a day to remember. Midsommar party at a friends lakeside house. Tried to take pictures of everything that happened so here goes with a few of them.
""The big and the bold."" Typical of Swedish for Midsommar celebration and the drink of the day for my May Luncheon with........."the guys" Beer and Aquavit. The beer is used to cool down the effects of the Aquavit........of course

The guys............or better known as, the family of friends (2 missing) plus one never forgotten.
Play Ball !!!!!
Midsommer (longest day of the year) at Lynn's .................another day to overeat and overdrink.
The midsommar pole..........time to dance...........the frog.
or something like that.
Can hardly wait for July to start and life begins to slow down for a couple of months
Not to let you off the hook for listening to a little of my political ranting, how about this sent to me from a friend.
The Wonder of it All
1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.
2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.
3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.
4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.
5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.
And....
6. The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is GOLF.
THE AMAZING CONCLUSION:
The higher you go in the corporate structure, the smaller your
balls become.
Therefore, one might conclude, there must be a ton of people in
Washington playing marbles!
PS This also should include those with little "common sense".
See you next week...................................................
