Slow TV: Train Ride Bergen to Oslo is on in the background while I’m puttering on the computer. I’m about 3 hours in to the 7-hour trip. It’s oddly compelling to just watch the Norwegian countryside roll by. I must go do this in person.

Watching the Blues/Predators playoff game. With the Lightning not making the playoffs, I always root for more hockey. Every game should go to triple overtime; every series should go to 7 games.
