Now he's on the phone with his family in Sweden, checking up on little Swedish sister Ann's health status. (She's nearly all better.) I'm in here typing up this entry and only out of the corner of my ear hearing him speak to Ann about her experiences in the hospital.

My Swedish language skills are poor enough that I automatically tune out the conversation and hear it only as meaningless background noise if I'm not concentrating on it. Occasionally, English words get scattered into the conversation if Pär doesn't know a Swedish equivalent for them, and that sometimes catches my attention again. This is what I just heard:

Pär: "Bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork... alien probe."
