Went back to visit my family and friends in San Francisco Bay Area. Had a blast while I was here, going to shopping for xmas gifts, doing the American duty by buying and promoting our economy. Went to a San Jose Sharks game the other night and really had fun. Went on the ice in between the 1st and 2nd period playing for a SJ Sharks hat and we won playing Tug of War on the ice. It was really kewl. Had a blast. Kinda sad that I am leaving going back to the “Frozen Tundra” of Finland, but I am looking forward to going home and being with my sweatheart Hanna as soon as she arrives from Atlanta on Dec 20th. Just a few more weeks. Peace of cake!
Well enough said for now. Gotta get packing.
Look for more to come soon…..

Snowed very heavy last night and this morning. Every thing was covered in white. Kinda kewl to wake up to, but sucked to have to plow my through to get to work. Though, I did not fall going to work slipping on the ice sidewalk. That was a nice feeling not to have to go through.
Hanna made it ok to Atlanta and am happy to hear that she is settling in there for her “tour of duty” for the 1.5months. I just hope that she will enjoy it and not really consider it work, but more of an experience and learn something from it. I am sure she will. If you are reading this sweetie, I miss you lots!
Well enough said for now. Gotta get back to work. Look for more to come soon. I plan on some busy stuff for next week.

more to come soon…

Starting to snow much more often now here in Finland, mostly upper Finland. Getting myself some new gloves to start wearing as the temp here is starting to drop dramatically (down to the lows of -1.9*c (29*f) to 2.1*c (35.8*f)the average. Hanna today (06.11.2001) Left this morning for Atlanta, GA. She will be working there for 1.5 month while the person she is replacing gets trained here in Finland. I am happy for her as this is something that she really, truely wanted to do. We will see if she likes the lifestyle or doesn’t want to travel ever again. =)
I am wishing for the second choice.
I may be coming out to sunshine and much warmer California next month as would rather not spend the entire 6 weeks by myself doing nothing. Can’t wait to get out there. Other than that, work is going well and living here has been the best so far. Just minus the snow of course. ;)

more to come soon..

First snow fell, but didn’t stay on the ground. Finalized a few more projects today, but am still somewhat not involved yet with a major project with continuous work. But am waiting eagerly taking course to refresh my memory with computer skills, and going to seminars to sharpen my listen and speaking skills.

I am sure there will be more to come…
