“In books we never find anything but ourselves. Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius.” ―Thomas Mann

What is Thomas Mann thinking with all these books around him (he even has a box full of books next to him). Funny to realize that now-a-days we have thousands of books on our iPad - well: I have! That really saves a lot of space.

I do not look that happy am I?

The day I ran like... Dennis!

OK - I decided to run the Dam to Dam anyway. I could take over a ticket from Dennis, so I was Dennis this Sunday :-)
It was unusually warm and humid - a lot of people had to step out of the race - but I survived and got to the finish.
