And how to play it, to become an even greater member of the Old School community In January last year I read an article on the very nice – no great, even! – Danish news site, Zetland (if you read Danish, please check it out, it is outstanding journalism and writing in general). Now, that […]
We have already come to it. Another one for the books. This time on of those years that will probably prompt a lot of books. Damn, a lot has happened since my last New Year post! Maybe not in my magical sphere, but in the world surrounding it. Again: Damn! But all that crap is […]
So I was sitting there in the backseat of a car, driving on the freeway from Aarhus, Jutland, on my way home from an awesome day of spell-slinging. As you know, Peter had a gig to attend. My compadres for this journey was Peter and The Other Thomas. Peter was driving. Sober as hell. The […]
As I told you some time ago (LINKLINKLINK), I have diverted a bit of focus from Old School to Canadian Highlander. Despair not, I will still – of course – primarily write about Old School on these pages. But bear with me, I have just one more – for now at least – piece I […]
I am currently residing in a hotel room. And not even a fancy one at that. If it was just because I was on vacation in a warm, sunny place, with freeflowing drinks, it would probably be more than alright. But no! The weather isn’t exactly anything to brag about, here in Copenhagen I must […]
So, a couple of months ago, when I started writing this, I had just returned from my COVID19-isolation of one week and one of my colleagues joked that if I had had to be isolation for more than said week, I would have started a blog or something. “Well…” I said. “I would definitely have […]

These months, I find it very hard to find the inspiration, time and excess energy to write anything worth just a little on these pages. It has even come to a point, where I have worked and lived through several days and […]
The other day I was equal parts relieved, flummoxed and petrified. I realized, I am retired. Yes. Relieved because I no longer need to prove anything to anyone; flummoxed because am only dawning on my 37th summer; petrified because what to do with the rest of my days? Okay, okay, maybe just a little tad […]
Look at this picture: What do you think it is a picture of? Don’t know? Look at this then: Still no clue? Well, the first is a picture of the actual sky on midday. The second is a grey square I made myself in paint… Yep, January in Denmark has a very eerie resemblance of […]
If you haven’t noticed, let me just tell you, that 2022 has started. I mean really started. Hot damn, it is on! I have small kids, and Corona is raging wildly in Denmark, so my New Year’s Eve wasn’t exactly a fountain of craziness with hot fireworks and cold drinks. Rather, my wife was a […]
