Here’s a way to celebrate your 16th birthday:

You ask a bunch of friends over for dinner (you’ve asked your parents to be good sports and to seek entertainment elsewhere).

You watch a movie (Blair Witch Project).

At the end of the evening you go to a cool party with the whole group, where you dance, giggle, talk, have fun and what not untill the early morning hours.

After a cab has taken you home, you camp out in the living room and sleep in.

At the end of the morning breakfast is served (scrambled eggs, croissants, jus d’orange) and you and your friends relate all the funny things that took place in the last 20 hours.

No wonder the Dutch youth is the happiest youth in the World: they know how to Party!

My daughter is for ever researching.

When all goes well in the next issue of the schoolpaper she'll have have her first 2-page spread.

One more in the comments.

The Sun seemed unharmed by the storm that raged on it's surface.

This week, on a windless, sunny day, there was the beginning of ice on the water.

Couldn't help myself thinking about a possible new Elfstedentocht. For the Dutch this needs no explaining. For the non-Dutch there is no way to explain this peculiar Dutch mindset.

A good way to spend a quiet, sunny afternoon is do a little walking, enjoy a drink and have your picture taken by your love.

Or is that just me?
