It’s the last day of 2011, a few hours left ’till the New Year’s party, and it’s maybe a time for a little recap of this weird, weird year. I’d like to say that this year totally sucked, but it’s not really true. What I can say is that I’ve probably never had a year where the amplitude between the high and low points has been this huge.
Getting Out Of A Funk With Exercise And Tentacle Pot Pie
I think I finally started to get out of a deep damn funk I’ve been wallowing in throughout most of the autumn. This was a very active Saturday.

Photo update: ‘Shroom Trip
This Sunday I got some badly needed wilderness therapy when Susi, Jere, I and Jere’s pal Maria went to pick some mushrooms in the forests northwest of Espoo. I had prepared myself mentally to just getting a few good photos, but after a few hours in the sunny autumn forest we walked back to the car with bags full of black and ordinary chanterelles, boletes and other assorted mushrooms. The last couple weeks have been quite taxing, and a trip like this was just what the doctor ordered.
