I have skied the Birkebiner twice in c. 4 and 1/2 hours, but never the Gat55.
The long uphills  are not terribly steep and there is some relief.  Besides,
you do it when you are fresh.  It is the long descent at the end of the race
when you are leg weary that I found the most challenging.  The descent to
Lillehammar is steeper than the descent to Rena.  The race is run in opposite
directions from one year to the next.  If you want more impressions, feel free
to contact me by E-mail.

Sometimes I secretly hope that my Finnish-Swedish grand-father would have
belonged to this Swedish elite cream, instead of being a poor peasant with
no money, and here I sit and hack for food...

I read in the paper recently that the laws there had just now become more
liberal. Previously,(from 190?)  you had to order booze (and wine, 
don't know about beer) from Denmark through snail-mail.

Now, however, they were getting wine & booze-shops similar to what we
have in Norway and Sweden (vinmonopolet, systembolaget).

On this same topic: Clinton apparently spent Christmas  1968 or -69 with 
some Finnish friends in Helsinki - before going on his "KGB mission to 
Moscow".

Has the Finnish press identified these friends?  Are they going to the

This is silly. Finns and Swedes are discussing less appropriate ways of
nicknaming each other. I asume that the discussion is just as misplaced
as the drop of mr. Clinton to s.c.n. which makes me think back to some
of the argues between mr. Bush and mr. Clinton. Those guys also refered
to each other as idiot, jerk, pumkin and so on. Less intelligent behaviour

Reason for selling them is that we finally bought a Laser printer.

I have skiied the Gatineau 55 nine times and the Birkebeiner twice. 
There are no hills like the Penguin hill (the first hill off the
Parkway) or Macdonald road (the big hill after crossing Meach Lake)
on the Birkebeiner route. The hills are more gradual. The profile
looks like an M. Long uphill at the start, little downhill, flat
on the plateau above trees, a little uphill and the long downwhill
at the end (as seen from Rena to Lillehammer). No mistake, its still tough
as its classic with a 5.5 kg pack with tricky waxing (both times
that I have been there; New snow at 0 degrees C at low altitudes, 
colder higher up).

It was great!

Strategies?

Well lessee...The University of California colors are blue and gold,
and lot's of people have names like Anderson, Ericsson, and other `-sons'.
There is a Swedish university (sort of, in Minnesota, right?).  Minnesota
Vikings.  Even Bill Cosby advocates Jell-O (though I confess, it's the 
pudding).

I know of a church or two that claim Swedish founders (the so-called
"Covenant" churches, I believe).  Lucia pageants too.  

Then there's Frusen Gla"dje ice cream, though most Americans pronounce it 
"froozen glahzhe".  IKEA's multiplying like rabbits in California.  The 
Muppets' Swedish Chef (and the cereal in honor of him, Croonchy Stars).  
Cloetta chocolates at finer drug stores, La"kerol, Siljans Kna"cke, Wasa, 
S&W brand canned foods, SAAB, Volvo.  We should get a Swede to run for 
President.  King's City.  Swedish camps.

Sounds like we've got quite a Swedish sub-stratum in the US already.
As for the other things listed above, my only reponse is "when do 
we start!"  ;->


The future's so bright...I have to wear tra"skor.

Urs{kta: jag begick ett misstag. Paasikivi var naturligtvis president
1946 - 1956 och premi{rminister 1944 - 1946 (Ordet "president" var
min till{ggning - jag antog att namnet "Paasikivi" var inte allm{nt k{nt).

"Da Mannerheim etter v}penstillstanden 1944 ble president, dannet Paasikivi
en nasjonal samlingsregering. Den ble sittende till mars 1946, da riksdagen
valgte Paasikivi til Mannerheims etterf|lger som statsjef. Ved det
ordinaere presidentvalg 1950 ble hans mandat fornyet.

Som statsminister og statssjef gjennomf|rte Paasikivi en ny utenrikspolitisk
kurs, bygt p} et tillitsfullt samarbeid med Sovietunionen (se => Paasikivi-
linjen)." (Store norske leksikon)
