At spinning class yesterday, there was a fit woman somewhere in her 60s directly in front of the instructor. Every time we stood up on our bikes, the woman would wildly fling her head back and forth in rhythm to the music. As I was behind her, I couldn’t help but stare in fascination. When she was sitting on her bike, she rode normally. But come an uphill, there she would go again, flinging her hair from side to side. It seemed very unSwedish for a woman of her age to be riding with such crazy abandon. And I have to say, it was kinda funny and fun all at once. I came to look forward to the uphills just to see her go at it again. And I guess I must have been smiling about it at some point, because the instructor caught my eye and we laughed together. Which when I look back at it, was also rather unSwedish of the instructor to acknowledge all this. But it did make the class go rather quickly.
By the way, if you are American and have even just a little bit of Swedish roots, you can win a trip to Sweden and the chance to be on a Swedish reality TV show. Check out the great Swedish adventure.

This sounds like better entertainment than a rock concert!!
I’m going to call on the casting call and see if you have to be an American resident! I’m half Swedish, did you know that?!
You should definitely check it out Jodi. It sounds like a fun opportunity.
I called. Ineligible. Lived in Sweden too long. Hope someone I know applies.
See you soon.
