... mechelen is having a party ...

just at my door :-) .... Yesterd today is Maanrock, a yearly free festival with mainly belgian artists> Most of them will not ring a bell, but i do encourage you to check out groups lik Magnus, Daan, Vibe la fete, Tom Helsen en Sioen. They are really really good and for once my son and i agreed on the subject .. although at 00:30 he thought the party had lastet long enough for him and he forced me to retreat to our home that is basically in the middle of the action :-) (festival food the whole week-end , i feel i need a detox next week)

it felt good to have the mind set to ,music this week-end without the ability to think about anything else ... although there is loads to think about . For instance: i entered my last year before i'm turining 40 :-). i passed my 39th birthday last wednesday very silently . In a way i always felt i would have a problem turning 40, butnow it is getting closer i really start minding less and less and less ....

other things on my mind are the burning desire and feeling to get my hands dirty and really take the chances of jumping in the restaurant busines from the deep end .. add to this the book of Che Guevara : The Motorcycle Diaries and some opportunities to get me back into the wacko exciting creative world ... what can i tell you: my brain is in overdrive ...

it is keeping my thoughts very lively on al fronts ... because why do we not follow our dreams ?

happy travels

it ain't over till it's over

no no no .. i refuse to believe the holiday is over. but we do not have much choice :-). tomorrow is another day that makes that it is again time to get down to business.

but not yet, this moment is here to last a little longer, review the days that passed away and just sit here with a smile over a nice holiday.


it's all about being just your silly self and inventing new ways to make a fool out of your self


it's all about starting early with making nice cocktails and rediscovering old games and beating the old man to it


it's all about just taking a tour in your hometown and see the beauty of it ...

it's all about anything you want it to be for the time you want it to last ...


happy travels

... the beauty of taking the day

the way it comes.

Ok, we would have loved to go away somewhere, but in a way this holiday is very nice at home. Lauran is still not really mobile (Jamie and Sandy: thanks for the advice and Serge: yes it works :-)) but we are able to do some work in the house.


Simple things like sorting the picture and laughing your but off with all the pictures when you were 16 and looked like a background singer of an obscure popband. The 80's made me look so Footloose :-). or just finishing off the Riens his room, doing the final painting and just taking the time as it comes ... also seeing three generation working on the finishing touches of the room was just wonderful ..

far away of the so called important decision and intelligent reports we have to write.... it felt so good to hear Riens and Lauran saying goodnight and talk about the very nice day they had ... I gives you the feeling to start dreaming without holding back. what about a family restaurant :-)




anyhow , happy travels
