I even bought a tux for the occasion, after I got to Sweden. I sometimes wear it to the library I work at now!
"Oh, this old thing?" I like to say.

If you...
If you came to this blog while floundering confusedly around the internet you should totally go to clerkmanifesto.com which is my real blog and is totally, well, it's like a, uh, daily, it's this, er, um, it's, well... actually you might want to consider turning off your computer as surfing content related to the North Woods late at night is going to end up depressing you. Just a suggestion.
If you came to this blog from a link in clerkmanifesto. Hi! What fun to see you over here with the pressure off. That was a funny picture of a moose, wasn't it? I'm not really too sad about not seeing any moose on my trip, in case you were worried.
If you came to this blog from a link in clerkmanifesto without finishing the post you were reading there, don't worry, this is totally spoiler free here, except maybe the thing I said about the moose, which you already would have read. Oops! Sorry.
If you're thirsty I have some coldpress with milk in the blog fridge to your right (yes, it's caffeinated!) and I think a bottle of perrier that is not totally flat. Also some evian. I am all out of maple syrup, so sorry (and that seems like a particularly glaring fault on a north woods blog!).
If you wish I talked about moose all the time and didn't go on so much about libraries I think I need about four million dollars. Just as a wildly rough figure. I'm not asking you for it or anything, just mentioning. I will not monetize my blog, even if it means I could constantly write about moose! That is how much integrity I have!
If you're wondering what happened there, well, I'm not sure either.
If you're thinking this "If you" device is super fun, me too!
And If you're thinking "But I guess I'm ready to move on." Well, me too again.

Emily Dickinson often visited the northwoods
It is not widely known that homebody poet Emily Dickinson was a great visitor to the northwoods as a teen, when her family vacationed there. And many feel her poem "Oh Chipmunk" was inspired by happy memories of her time in a lake cabin with a view of Lake Superior.
Oh Chipmunk!
A chipmunk went out on a log,
At three in the afternoon,
what dance and foot and happy play,
promised in its ruin.
There is not frolic still enough,
Nor heart so still and thin,
That chipmunk cannot harmonize,
All toil and joy and spin.
