a blog with a beard

I want to mention a blog I found recently. It's called En man med ett skägg and it carves out the love we all have for Snoddas, Tage Erlander, "Cacka" Israelsson and other names written in stone in the history of Swedish entertainment & politics. En man med ett skägg is obsessed with old men. He brings out the desire that some of us secretly nurse; to be a 70-year old man. I put on the slippers, sip on the night cap of single malt Scotch and indulge in reminiscence, recalling the days when Thore Skogman was the hippest cat around and the parliament was united in a concern for the laxing morals of the youth. My favorite posts so far in the blog quote the eerie memoir of a (in)famous Swedish lawyer, Henning Sjöström. Read all about Henning's adventures here and here.
