Because my mother are sisters maried with two brothers - the genetic material of Ruud is almost the same. Add up a similair upbringing (neighborhood, school, holidays etc. etc.) and you almost have a clone :-)
The children of Ruud and Christl remind me much of my brothers and sister and children of my brothers and sister. Funny how that is.

It was nice to visit Warsaw again. Of course during the set up of Funda Polska I have been back and forward to my old hometown - but every time something new has been added.

We stayed in my favorite Intercontinental hotel in Warsaw. Right in the middle of the centre and with a swimming pool on the 43st floor - excellent rooms and service.

I flew to Warsaw today with my mother and aunt to visit my nephew Ruud and his wife Christl. The flight was only 2 hours but a bomb scare on Chopin airport made us wait for a couple of hours...

I must admit: I forgot to set the DVR for the second debate. But I found on The New York Times website a brilliant interactive video of this event. You can search for words, go to subjects (red for McCain, blue for Obama) and the transcript will scroll accordingly.  It is the best Video application I have ever seen - Maybe next time I skip the DVR all together and watch the third debate of The NYT website immediately...

Thanks Photoshop for saving the day!

I was visiting my dear friend Marianne and her animal farm. I made a picture with my iPhone of one of her horses - at least I thought I did. This was the result... ?

Actually I don't care so much for the story; for my just the fact that Vin is in it is more then enough... ;-)
