I sit in the airport, clutching my boarding pass to keep my hands from shaking with excitement. I feel the past crumbling behind me and nod with grim satisfaction.
I will be in Sweden in a mere 37 hours, including the layover in Oslo ("Scandinavia's Shame"). Both Jakob and Joakim told me they'd meet me at the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, abandoning their lives in Norway ("Nothing but fjords and pederasty") and England to be with me.
The question is: Which one will claim my heart? At first it was a no-brainer: Jakob. Jakob, Jakob ... The One Who Wrote Me Back.
But after all we've been through, the sickening twists and turns, the betrayal of my American heritage, the selling out of Swedish culture, etc., I'm not sure what to do.
But maybe you can help me decide.
To vote for a winner, post a Twitter message that includes #LYT and your favorite's last name with the "hash" sign in front of it. Like so:
#LYT plus #jansson or #nylund
You'll also be voting for the winner of today's match. As if that even matters.
It's time to board. My heart swells with confused passion. All the other passengers look like terrifying, meatball-headed freaks in hockey jerseys.
And thus I leap into the unknown! Skål!

Congratulations to Mig Reyes, Layer Tennis Season 3 Champion.
Thanks to all the players, commentators and fans who made Season Three of Layer Tennis a big success. And thanks to the crew at Goodby Silverstein & Partners and all the folks at Adobe Creative Suite for making it possible. Watch this space (or sign up for Season Tickets or follow us on Twitter) for news about some special exhibition matches being planned and about Season 4.
Cast your votes on The Championship Match. Both Finalists will receive invitations to play in the post-season tournament for Season Four.
Here's how the voting works. Decide who you'd like to declare as winner and then simply tweet their first name following a hash mark. Either #mig or #noper and, this is important, also include #lyt in that tweet. We'll leave the voting open all weekend and announce our Season Three Champion on Monday.
