While I hold down the fort in New York, our intrepid adventurer, Josh K, is on assignment for Passport magazine in Sweden, spending time both in Stockholm and in the north of Sweden at the famous Ice Hotel.
He's sent me a few iPhone pictures from his escapades abroad. Check 'em out:

Meanwhile, as Josh traverses Scandinavia, his hockey gear, which Levi Johnston wore in his now (in)famous Playgirl photo shoot, is now for sale on eBay and is garnering some nothing-to-sneeze-at bids.
See for yourself: The hockey pants ($602.25), the hockey stick ($275), the helmet ($102.50), the shoulder pads ($250), and the gloves ($250). (All bids here listed as of 4 p.m. EST Monday.)
That's nearly $1,500 for the lot. Crazy, huh? And there's still a few days left, too, before bidding closes.
While at work and play abroad, Josh's hockey gear is going to work for him. Not a bad deal at all, I'd say.
i can only hope that while josh k is off in exotic scandinavia and otherwise distracted, he understands that while ebay encourages all sellers of pre-worn items to wash and/or otherwise thoroughly sanitize said items before shipment, buyers of such items are generally disappointed when sellers comply with said ebay request.
just sayin.
