sometimes i wonder if i chose the right thing, professionally. i wonder if the stress, the long working hours and everything else that comes with being a journalist really pays off. and then i saw the letter, sitting openly in our secretary’s mailbox. it read: “dear mr. editor. thank you for your letter offering me [...]
Tassie is a small place and today one of my students reminded me of how small when I realised that I have known her brother for over 10 years. Even better it reminded me of the sort of crazy schemes we used to come up with, and on occasion, even carry through, right to the [...]
i wonder in which fashion i will grow old. i hope it won’t be in a cynical way, something i have witnessed in people around me. it will not only take the joy in your life away but it will also harm others. people that do not deserve it. then i met this guy, in [...]
Time out on the running boards
We’re running
Through a world that lost its meaning
Trying to find a way to love

i had this perfect day yesterday. i felt loved. i felt great. i left the office and felt that i am happy. i played hockey in the evening and then rejoined astrid and the others at georg’s barbecue party. we left at the right time, not too early, not too late. life sometimes can be [...]
when i give,

i met an amazing person this weekend, emanuel rego, one of the winningiest beach-volleyball players in the history of sports. i asked him for an interview after he had battled through and won the grand slam tournament in klagenfurt. he turned out not only to be a good interview partner, but an insight- and thoughtful [...]
