Another boring Pic

ok, rather than take another boring picture of my desk, which is where I have been the last 2 full days. I will use a pic taken in the last week. I know this is not what I promised, but I hope you can find it in your heart(s) to forgive me. I will be leaving The Hague sunday and not returning till 15 March, so between now and then I don't think there will be any shortage of interesting pictures. This is a picture from the Martini Tower in Groningen. I thought this picture was appropriate for my feeling toward life right now, but I made it to the top of that tower and I will make it through this period of life, press on!!

Another snowy day

Today, was another light snowy day. It was very picturesque. I woke to snow falling all of The Hague, as I walked to work it was like a winter wonderland. I snapped this shot in a square I walk through most days. It is a fun sculpture of a man walking his dog. Anyway, enjoy.

Heaven

This is a picture of heaven incarnate. The perfect bowl of Salsa. It was created yesterday and consumed immediately. That is all.

Sneeuw in Den Haag

We had another nice snowfall today in The Hague. It was great to wake up to a freshly coated city. It fit well after staying up to watch the Winter Olympics last night. Here is a shot me standing in the middle of two tram tracks. This is a common view in The Hague as you walk around at some point you will find yourself in the middle of two tram tracks. I am sure there is some sort of metaphor or lesson, but I don't know what it is...

The Duinen (Saturday)

Today I went with some people from Crossroads to Kijkduin and we walked in the Duins all the way to Scheveningen and back. It was cold, windy and great. I had a great time, got a good workout and had good conversation with people I knew and some who I did not. this is a little abandoned shop or at least abandoned in the winter time. I am beat now, so tired and am watching the winter olympics, congrats Switerland on the gold in ski jumping, now is the speed skating, come on USA, but I do have to say, every dutch person I have asked as said they are going to watch the skating.

Technical Article (Friday)

Yes, I am catching up, I have taken pictures, but uploading them has been a different story. Here is a picture of something that occupied my time while I could have been uploading pictures. Its an article, by Thomas Nagel. This is an article sent to my by my good friend, the self proclaimed, Lord Jonathan Krull Phd (pending). The article is titled "Public Education [in the U.S.] and Intelligent Design." Thomas Nagel is a philosophy professor at NYU and is an Athiest. To be honest, don't really care about the debate, I know its a big deal to a lot of people, but I just don't care, sorry. Anyway, this article was excellent, it was well argued, it was beautifully written and most of all it caused me to think, and think about core assumptions I held being a modern/postmodern person. Anyway, loved it, and it also reminded me how much like to research...I need to do more of that, again.

Mail Boxes (Thursday)

Here is my mail box, 18C. But don't send me anything. I can't get in. I do pass these everday and am actually glad I can't get in. Everyday everyone in our building has to stop and check their mail...I don't. It may seem like a little thing, but usually when I am coming home or leaving my mind is somewhere else, so I would hate to have to lose my train of thought everyday. Also, I can get mail at the office, where I am usually more focused on practical things...usually.
