Today and tomorrow we visit Ron and Marie-Anne. I was able to keep up my good name by helping Ron secure his wireless network, which was still open to everybody. Played Need for Speed II, but it seems I’m getting old… can’t beat 13-year old Sander, not even close…
We went to the beach again, [...]

No sun today… at least not in the afternoon. We wanted to go to the beach, but the weather did not allow it. Well, that was not a big problem. I spent most of the afternoon in front of the TV, watching the Tour de France’s final stage and the German F1 Grand Prix. Both [...]

This is my 250th post… what a milestone!

Watched my all-time favourite movie for the tenth time last night. It featured on Dutch television. I was not planning on seeing it, but when zapping by, I could not help but watch it till the end… I really cannot explain why this is my [...]

A young couple is pregnant from their first child that turns out to be severely handicapped and, according to medical doctors, will die after it is born.
