Easter etc.

Easter. Talked about it with my dear co-worker Lisa and she informed me, politely, that Easter falls on different days each year. I strongly objected to this until I looked at last years calendar and of course, as usual, she was right. And not only by a day or two, but almost two weeks. No wonder I felt it all happened so fast.

I'll be going to Denmark during the holidays and I'm looking forward to some nice food and cold Easter beer (picture). Oh yeah, and meeting the entire Madsens of course. They just became so...many lately. Seeing them less than once a year makes you loose track of what's really going on in their lives. But one thing I did notice, they only give birth to boys, my cousins. Only boys. All blond little Madsens. And then me and my sister; the foreginers, the black sheep of the family, the SWEDES as they call us. "Oh, did you have trouble getting through the border in Copenhagen? I mean, didn't they stop you when you showed them your passport?" Someone needs to browse for new racist jokes because jokes DO get worn out you know. ;)

By coincidence I found this quite funny site on Denmark, from the US. Ignore the 1995 layout and code, and enjoy the clichés of the Danes! Happy Easter!
