a new day has come ...



it took some time to get in the mood, but finally the new year has started with a splash .... My son went down a black slope during our short ski holiday . Yes indeed, you hear this correctly from the guy who said he did not like skiing.

We decided rather last minute to get away from all the busy new years activities and wanted to energize ourselves on the slopes of the French Vogezen. After having received the keys of my studio in Luxemburg, or what I call my hotel without roomservice (for those who don't know: I work in Luxemburg and have rented there a studio for during the week), we drove down to the snow with the kids.

It is amazing to realize that my son and daughter are becoming better skiers than myself, in other words: maybe I'm getting older :-P . It felt so good to just relax, no conference calls, no late night e-mail checking: just the family. Or how a man can change.

I really enjoy all the things I still receive from all of you: from the figures on Fun and downloads, the new designs of the homepages, the little presents from suppliers, the occasional phone call and e-mail ... It feels still as if I'm a little bit part of the family.

Here the projects are going well. Before march 26th we need to renovate the attic to create Riens his bedroom. A birthday present for Lauran so the little girl can finally have her own room with a princess bed. The plans for the kitchen are still in full development since there is some discussion on how to actually organize it. So everybody who comes to visit is shown the plan and requested to provide input.

Also just realized I still have a nice bottle of whisky waiting for some friends out of London : Highland Park 25 years Old. James it will be served , so everybody who is in Belgium on Friday the 20th is more than welcome ... just let me know ...

and as usual: for all of you I wish you all the peace love and understanding you can dream of for the years ahead
