Well it’s a big birthday for me this week… my 40th. In the interest of total accuracy, I should probably admit it won’t be the first time I’ve turned 40. I’ve slightly lost count, but I think this is my fourth go. I’ll probably stay this age till the 2050s, when I might turn an elegant 41. We’ll see.
But in order to celebrate properly, I thought I’d take a little birthday sojourn. My friend suggested Copenhagen and I thought, ‘why not’? I love The Little Mermaid and those Danes can pickle a mean herring. It also occurred to me that I might find myself a nice man over there — some charming brute with a brain like Kierkegaard and a body like Mads Mikkelsen (circa 1990).
