Til Spitsbergen

I didn't actually sleep last night. Coffee has that effect. I'm at Flesland now with Cara waiting for our flight to Oslo which will be followed by one to Longyearbyen. To another world. It's hard to imagine traveling to a world more foreign and northern than where I currently live, but, if there's anything I've learned from living in cold places (like Nebraska as well as here), there's always a more hardcore place further north. Assuming the polar bears don't get me, I'm not sure I'll ever make it further north than this on the surface of the Earth, but maybe I'll see it from a polar orbit someday.
