Milky Way!

Yesterday evening I went to a concert of Habib Koité and his band. Just look at wiki for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habib_Koit%C3%A9. I loved it, relaxed mix of African and whatever influences. If you ever have the change to go listen to him, please do. You feel at home with this music and Africa comes alive again. Just hanging out there in the Milky Way with friends and this kind of music is one of great things op life!

Professor Franse

Onno is the Nestor of our department and he just celebrated his 50th birthday. As always with Onno he gave a magnificent speech about life in general and some specifics about his own life. Having worked for fast movers, McDonalds and the likes he has seen it all. Cheap calories, the whole range from poverty --> wealth --> well-being. And how do you reach that? It is a balance my friends. It is not about eating healthy always, it is about sometimes eating fries, burgers. Sometimes carrots, fried garlic. Drinking beet root juice and wine. And exercising. make it a life, get a life!

We just had the celebration around our new official soccer table in the office. We had several before, but you know, with all those financial guys playing with it, it breaks down easily. So now we had a huge X-Mas project where the most creative Albert Heijn man reviped an old table and we were giving the opportunity to sponsor the players. Of course our Corporate Responsibility department got the strikerand all the proceeds went to the Johan Cruyff Foundation. Johan Cruyff, being our world soccer player from the past, is trying his utmost to give disadvantaged kids a good sport time one or the other.
Ha, that is the spirit!
