This morning I was standing on the railroad station Amsterdam Sloterdijk. When I looked at sign displaying the details of the next arriving train (time, destination, route) I realized that I should call work to tell that it would take some time to get to the town of Hoofddorp… It seemed that I would travel…

Privacy again
It kinda funny, after reading a newspaper this morning I decided that it was about time to write an article on privacy again… and just I noticed that Patrick did the same on his weblog yesterday. This morning I read that the government has far reaching plans to gain control on the information flow on…
Apassionata, By The Light of the Stars
Yesterday Marion and I have been to Apassionata and it was wonderful. We had a very good time. Apassionata is a yearly returning show where horse and human work together and lets see the best sides of them. This combined with dance and music. This year the show is called “By The Light of the…
That hurted….
This afternoon I was working on the sauce that would go along with pearl hen that we would eat during our Christmas dinner. Of course I used as much as possible fresh ingredients. One of these ingredients was red pepper, the really spicy kind of red pepper. I used just a little and cut it…
Merry Christmas to all of you…
I hope that everyone’s Christmas started so wonderful as mine did. Yesterday during the day I have been working as normal and already some days before that I had to promise that I would not leave for home before 4:00 pm. Somewhere during the day Marion would come to Heemskerk and of course it was…

It must have been in the last years of the seventies… I was still going to school in the town of Eibergen… And there as a young boy I bought for a few guilders a vinyl record. Why? I liked the cover and I like the name… “In Search of Amelia Earhart”. It was recorded…
Christmas Team-event
With the snowy weather, the shortening days and the nearing Christmas the wish for a last team-event this year for the back-office team was there. And so we started to plan for a day that most of the people could make it. And yesterday would be the day…. Too bad Michiel could not make it,…
Baked Tilapia
Last year around this time I started something. Every time I cooked something nice and I liked it, I made a blog post about it. Somewhere along the road I stopped doing that, which was a pity. Maybe the thing of last week with the recipe book of my mother made me think about that…
