Hei Jack! That's the Norwegian Howdy! Next time we 'meet' it will be 'takk for sist'. It's an oddly unnatural thing to say in English (thank you for the last time [we met]), yet the most natural phrase in Norwegian.
Howdy, Marit. My Norwegian relatives used to say _Takk for sist" or something like that. In English, thanks! I'm glad you liked my story about the Star of David.
Marit! Thanks so much for reading and faving Elephant. I am really pleased that you like it. And I'm looking forward to reading you now too. Will get to your stories later today, when I get a break! Great to meet you here!
You know, Marit, our stories are as only as good as our readers. I'm so pleased you enjoyed Red Fox Rampant. Thanks for the fave and the insightful comments :-)
Nice to see you here--recognizing your name from a recent Glass Woman Prize submission.
Marit, thank you for your kind comments on Radio City. Thye are very much appreciated.

Thanks for your very kind words about my Kilvarnet story, Marit.

Thanks, Marit, for your kind words about Purple Patch. Genetically Modified dogs are not a good thing!
Stephen,
Not Ibsen? Well, I could guess at Knut Hamsun - or the more contemporary Jostein Gaarder - but I guess I'd be way off mark!
Thank you for your welcome, Myra and JM Prescott...
Marit--i've spent some time in Norway, Stavanger and Oslo mostly. Its one of my favorite countries. The people are fantastic.
And you've given one of the greatest writers of all time... i'll give you a hint... It isn't Ibsen.
Cheers,
Stephen

Marit, Welcome. Your mother called it an over-active imagination. Funny, my mom said it was the only way to get me to do any school work.
Hi Marit, and welcome. It's a great site. Wonderful writers. Can't wait to read your first installment!
