- Well it's that time of year again when one sit back and take a look on the days passed in the year. There's an inherent dangerof glossing over the trials and tribulation in the past because we tend to supress bad memories. For me 2003 is a mixed year. It's a sweet, frustating, fulfilling, exciting, scary, tiring, and stupid year. Here is a list of impression I've had of this year. |

- Nach kurzer Handarbeit und etwas longieren, natürlich alles unter Bernhards Regie, setzte ich mich auf das Pony. Und es war kein Flummi, nein, sondern ein Reitpferd. Nach einigen runden an der Longe und einem Galopp auf der rechten Hand, wurden Pony und ich ohne Sicherheitsbändel auf den Rest losgelassen. Und siehe da: Gewichtshilfen? |

- Gistermiddag pilsen met collega's! En ja het was gezellig, we begonnen om een uur of 4 in t'Winkeltje. De stemming zat er aardig in en het bier ging hard! Een paar uur later zijn we met een mannetje of 15 bij de griek gaan eten, en ook daar zat de stemming er in! Beetje jammer dat andere gasten niet begrijpen dat je het gezellig hebt met zo'n groep! |

- Remember back in 1999 when people started talking about "internet time", which was this crazy notion that, thanks to the internet, the usual course of business went much much much faster? Well, it sounds like the Earth tried to get in on some of that, as it's now been revealed that since 1999, our home planet has been making it's annual trek around the sun one second faster than it was for quite some time. Between 1972 and 1999, we had to add a special "leap second" each year, since the Earth was slowing down, and losing a step. However, since 1999, for reasons no one is quite sure, the Earth appears to have caught a second wind and is speeding up a bit. |
