When Norton and Crystal feel I've had enough sleep—usually anywhere from within 2 to 4 hours after hitting the hay—they start play fighting. In the bed. Using me for a wrestling mat.

You're lucky!

Reports that I flew too close to the sun have been exaggerated.

Good to hear. Are you back yet, or posting on location?

Man, you were awesome. I watched and just about wet my pants as you saluted and gently jumped out of your capsule to fly a gazillion miles per hour back to earth. You're my hero, man!

Watching the first episode of Da Vinci's Inquest (Canadian crime series), when they were aired on Dutch tv I recorded them on dvd and I found them again today. I had forgotten it was so cynical and blunt, not that I mind I like that it's very different from similar US series like Law & Order.

Thank you. It's difficult to be humble when I'm this great.

*snort, cough, choke* Your humbleness is something to be ... uhhh.. humm... admired?

My sister's experimenting with making speculaas cookies (Dutch gingerbread). She didn't get it to come out of the wooden molds so she made one big cookie of which you break of pieces (also traditional). The edges were yummie, the center wasn't dry enough and had a sandy texture. It's probably more to do with our small oven than anything else but she's baking the second batch a bit longer. If that doesn't work she's going to try the molds again tomorrow and if they don't want to come out again she'll just use a cookie cutter.

I don't mind being the guinea pig for these kind of experiments, though it isn't good for my diet.

I keep telling people but they never listen! Break the cookies in half before you eat them. All the calories will fall out!!

It isn't required, just recommended. It tries to make sure you don't enter your banking details in an imitation website, so if you remove it, be careful!

(Check your computer's activity. I noticed that when my browser paused, it's CPU usage went up to 100% - it was the Trusteer Rapport software doing something odd. )
