I Thought the Wind Was the Hard Part: Riding a Bike in Chicago

May 23, 2026 by Abdul ShermanLeave a Comment

February 10, 2026 by Ron ClarkLeave a Comment

Oslo in winter doesn’t try to impress with postcard-blue skies. It seduces with low grey light, the smell of woodsmoke drifting over the fjord, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing the city was built for this season, not in spite of it.  Two days is barely enough to scratch the surface, yet it’s perfect for feeling the vibe, and slipping into the rhythm of a place that treats darkness like an old friend. I have escaped to Norway twice, … [Read more...]
