Scandinavia

Well, you just might find us in Oslo this time next year and the year after that and maybe every year thereafter. Save the Children just published their annual State of the World's Mothers. The Nordics dominate the podium like the Chinese do Olympic badminton, occupying 5 of the top 6 slots (you might also find us in Auckland next year, call us late on Tuesday and we'll tell you what Wednesday is looking like).

While we only want what's best for The Dragon Boss, we want what's best for Baleen, too. Right now, that's still here in the United States, where things could be better, but they're not anywhere near those alarming bottom half statistics, like how 1 in 30 women still die from pregnancy related causes.

Plus, the things that the US scores poorly on, like not guaranteeing working mothers paid leave, isn't a problem with Baleen's employer. So at least for now, if you want to visit The Dragon Boss, and I highly recommend you do as he's just added a coo to his other charm, that toothless smile, come on out to California. I recommend it.
