Congratulations!


Btw Carl, there's nothing depressing about turning 50. Just consider the alternative

I don't know about you Carl, but I'm thinking you should opt for the Swedes over the Norwegian offerings... But, hey, Bjørnar is entitled to be proud of his country's offerings!

Hehe, I like it in the forrest and I enjoy sailing, I just don't get to do it as much as I like anymore, so that part you got about right
