smarterplanet: tillyer: Dearest Jon Iwata, You probably don’t remember but about a year ago we were both in Chicago for a conference called “The Future Leaders.” You spoke. I ate. We had a few minutes of nice conversation and then you sat down next to me.

Wakker sinds 05:00.  Margootje krijgt drie tandjes tegelijk en is er behoorlijk ziek van.  Ze heeft onrustig geslapen en heeft ons de hele nacht wakker gehouden.  Gelukkig moest Sas op een ontiegelijk uur het bed uit (04:30) om op tijd in Oostende te zijn voor het vervolg van haar opleiding bij Metagenics.  Geeft me de tijd om alreeds fris gewassen en onder het genot van een lekker kopje koffie...
