No update
Wow...almost a month without an blog update. And to be honest, I don't really have anything to share now either. Is my life really that boring?
Well, not really. In fact, I've been busy as hell. But in hindsight, I can't really think of any special occasions or interesting events you'd be interested in. I've been busy at work. A completely different work/management culture compared to my old job. I've definitely made the right decision by changing employers, and I'm enjoying every minute of it!
Then I've been busy with the house of course. Thing is, we've come to the stage where most of the work are "details", be it rather big details. Point is, the before and after pictures don't really have the same impressive effect ;).
And then of course there's the new little chick. Now she's definetely keeping us busy, and we couldn't be happier. She's eating well, growing well, and doing well! She's started laughing with sounds: hilarious! That doesn't mean she stopped crying though....nope. But that comes with the territory apparently. ;)
As for hobby wise: well, I don't really have time for that atm. I'm just waiting for the snow to fall on the north side of the Alps...from Sudstau to Nordstau, and things are looking up! ;)
Well, that just about wraps it all up. I've updated the blog without really sharing anything worthwhile :P. Ah well, better luck next time. I'll try to do the next update a little sooner. Hope you have a good weekend! ;)

Evil!
Fear no longer good people!
For the Evil Pumpkin....
Is no more!
Capital punishment by chicken stock, garlic, cumin, laurel(?) leaf, salt 'n' pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Quite a humane way to go if you ask me, especially for a pumpkin.

It's here!
Ow yes. Once again the time has come. Summer has been and gone, fall is half way over. Something has changed. The nights got colder, the air got fresher. That feeling when you walk into the garage and bump in to your ski's. The first frost at night: Winter is on it's way! I know most people dread the end of summer, become (slightly) depressed at the thought of cold, ice, and long dark nights. If this shoe fits you: you're missing something! Something big!
I just received the first skiing magazine by email. I've been looking forward to it for weeks now, and this week it all came together. The first snow magazine, the first powder-alert by email, the first skiruns on Eurosport, the first snowcoveredcountrywebcamshots (ow yes, that's a word!). I can't freakin' wait to hit the slopes. And if that makes me a nerd, so be it ~J ;)! We've booked a week to Austria in March, and like I said: I can't wait. That's way to far away...anybody interested in a long weekend in the snow perhaps? :P

Tadaaaa!
Tadaaa indeed!
And there she was, our little Noora. She didn't quit wanna come out and meet us just yet, so the docs had to help her out. Or Jodie out. Or me out. I dunno, but we were helped out, and after 24hrs she was there, finally. October 7th 23:19 GMT, or in our time on October 8th, 01:19 in the morning. Unexpectedly by C-section but both Jodie and Noora are in good health, and recovering nicely. Ow, and I have some new found respect for women. Damn, that is some ordeal they go through, hehe. Those 24hrs wore me out, and I didn't even have to do anything. I for one am glad I beat the odds and ended up in the "right" 48% of this worlds population. ;)
Enough bullshit, and on to the important stuff: pictures! (some more, and frequently updated, on www.oboema.com)

Back to class
Today I got to follow.....a class! For the first time in YEARS. I'd almost forgotten what it felt like. Ok, it wasn't really a class, more like a refresher course. And it wasn't really that either.....it was more like a couple of people giving a lecture on what they work on all day long.
Ok, it was actually a lecture about winter weather, some implications, some (theoretical) situations, and meteorological instruments and the (dis)functioning in extreme (read: Dutch winter) conditions.
That's not really the point. Point is, it was kind of a lecture, and I really enjoyed it! A chance to learn (or refresh) some stuff, and I think I'm going to do it more often! HA! Back to class it is! ;)
