Eleven teams, several continents, and more taxis than you will take in your lifetime.

1. You’re going to see the credits and hear the theme music 12 times, and each time is going to be AWESOME.
2. If the producers changed the credits from the previous season, you’re going to be thrown for a serious loop.
3. If it’s the fall season, you’re never actually sure when the episode is going to start because of the NFL game airing earlier in the day.
4. Phil Keoghan will introduce the contestants in his AMAZING New Zealand accent.
5. Half the teams will be from L.A./some part of Southern California.

8. There will be one team who clearly does not have their shit together and YOU KNOW they will be eliminated in the first episode.

Takk til både utøvere og kommentatorer

I dag var det sesongavslutning for skisesongen, og det betydde at flere har sagt takk for seg.

I skiskyting gikk både Tora Berger og Ann Kristin Aafedt Flatland sine siste renn. Begge har gitt oss mange gleder med sine prestasjoner både i sporet og på standplass

I hopp var det duket for avskjed med en av de beste kommentatorene i NRK, nemlig Arne Scheie. I 42 år har han kommenterte fotball og hopp.

Det var vemodig å høre Scheie kommentere sitt siste renn, og hverken hopp eller fotball kommer til å bli det samme igjen.

Tippeligaen 2014....

....starter neste fredag.

Da tar Molde FK i mot Vålerenga hjemme på Aker Stadion.

Word of the day

Lite visdomsord min avdøde bestefar sa til meg, som jeg syns er fint å leve etter.

"Livet handler ikke om materielle goder, men hva du gjør ut av tida du har fått tildelt"

Springtime

Selv om det ikke er sånn supervarmt i lufta, er vi godt inne i den først vårmåneden. Og en mild vinter har gjort sitt til at isen har smeltet rekordtidlig.

St Patrick's Day

I dag feirer Irland sin nasjonaldag, også kjent som St. Patrick's Day.

Dagen er til minne om skytshelgenen St. Patrick, som også er kjent som den som kristnet Irland.

I mange land er det vanlig å kle seg i grønt denne dagen og irer over hele verden samles for å spise irsk mat og drikke irsk øl. Den grønne fargen skal være et symbol på Irland.

Premier League

I dag var det duket for noen skikkelige storoppgjør i Premier League.

Manchester United tok i mot Liverpool hjemme på Old Trafford. United har slitt mye denne sesongen og kan se langt etter noe seriegull. Liverpool, derimot, kan vinne ligaen for første gang siden 1990.

Kampen ble et fyrverkeri og Liverpool tok kommandoen fra start. To av Liverpool's mål kom på straffe. Dessverre ble litt av kampgleden ødelagt av Sturridge's filming på slutten av 2. omgang. Da var det like greit at straffen ikke gikk inn. Men noen minutter etterpå var Suarez på hugget og satte inn 3-0.

Dermed var kampen punktert, og Liverpool tar med seg tre nye poeng til Anfield.

Travel Tips I

Her er flere gode reisetips fra 'Amazing Race' host Phil Keoghan. Er det noen som har peiling på reiseliv, så er det han.




Tipsene kan du lese her: http://blog.travelchannel.com/the-traveling-type/2014/03/14/amazing-race-host-offers-his-top-10-travel-tips/


He’s traveled the world as the TV show host of The Amazing Race. Now Phil Keoghan shares a few helpful tips he’s picked up along the way that travelers should know when planning their own next great travel adventure.
Tip 1: Always bring important documents and information. This should go without saying, but in the craze of packing it’s easy to forget the essentials: your passport, emergency funds, a second form of ID, credit card and a list of emergency medical numbers. Keep this info in a safe place, like a money belt, while you’re traveling.
Tip 2: Pack items for the moments you’ll want to kill time. Pick your choice of one or all of the following: a good book, a good movie, puzzles and/or your favorite tunes.

Tip 3: Bring a journal. Take a moleskine diary — like Ernest Hemingway did — to document highlights from your trip, as well as to add contacts and keep items like ticket stubs. This is basically a tactile account of your journey that no Facebook page can match.
Tip 4: Don’t waste any travel opportunity that presents itself. Sure, it’s wise to bring a list of recommended restaurant, activities, shows, adventures, highlights and attractions, but also be spontaneous and open to new ideas.
Tip 5: Bring your own nutrition pack. Always have your own trusted ways to keep your calorie count up. So pack your favorite energy bar(s) and be sure to take a water bottle with you to stay hydrated when heading out for a day of sightseeing or some other strenuous activity.
Tip 6: Bring a First-Aid kit. It is imperative to have your own basic medications and treatments always available. Make sure to include liquids to replenish your electrolytes.
Tip 7: Don’t forget necessary sleep aids. Bring a comfortable neck pillow, earplugs and an eye mask so you can shut out the world when you need to.
Tip 8: We know you’re not going to forget your smartphone to take snapshots and video to help capture special moments while traveling. But don’t forget to bring your universal (and portable) charger, either. Or you can go the opposite route and leave it at home if you want to unplug and stay off the grid. It’s up to you.
Tip 9: Bring UV protection. Always plan ahead and be prepared with sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and SPF clothing.
Tip 10: Bring a sense of humor. You’ll be surprised how much a sense of humor will get you through anything and ensure you have a great time!

'The Lord of the Rings'

....eller 'Ringenes Herre' som den heter på norsk, er en trilogi med mye visdom.

Vil trekke fram et visdomsord jeg hørte på et møte i kveld:

"All we have to decide is what to do with time that is give to us", Gandalf til Frodo.

Cycling

Selv om det fortsatt snø og slaps ute, er hovedveiene relativt snøfrie og man kan vurdere å ta fram sykkelen. Til tross for at det regnet i dag, tok jeg meg en liten sykkeltur.
