I forgot to comment on Chris Davis and his birthday yesterday. Chris, you are a wonderful addition to our family. We are so grateful to have you for a son-in-law. You are an amazingly patient person, a wonderful father and husband too. Thank you for sharing your home with us for so long.
Today was a good day at work. We only did 3 books but they were by far the longest books we have done up until now. Each book took 1 1/2 hours at least - one took 2. We are coming into the influenza epidemic. There is at least one influenza death on every page - and we just did April to September. Imagine what the winter will bring.
Mads had his 6-year-old son, Mio at work today. Mio was sick and not feeling good but after lunch he got his second wind. Bo played video games with Mio for almost 2 hours because Mads had some meetings he had to attend. Mio would laugh and squeal saying, "Bo, Bo nigh" which means, Bo - no. Mio also calls his father, Papa. It was fun listening to his sweet laugh
We received the protocols for the great fires of Copenhagen for 1796-1799. It will be quite fascinating to work on those tomorrow.
One of the things I love about the Danes is that when they talk to you - they look you in the eye and totally listen to you. It isn't something they do just for us. It is the way they are. They turn to each other and talk face to face on the bus and train. When one of our office mates comes in to talk to us, they always want to make eye contact - to the point they will come behind the works station to see us. It makes you feel like they care. In the US - we seem to do every thing but speak face to face.
It is cold and windy. It is playing havoc with my knees. I was in so much pain tonight that I could hardly walk. I have got to get on top of this.
