New start
Well… looks like I’ve been busy working a long time. 
It’s now 2004, almost 2005. I have a new girl friend: Petra. I work with new things for the same people. I read a lot, think a lot, dream a lot. And I still wonder about almost everything.
Christmas last year I was a triple Santa. First at my ex-girlfriend’s place, then at my brother’s and finally over to Petra’s brother. Kids everywhere, and some small enough to be true believers.
Christmas this year I’m off to my parents in the morning: great aunt Karin, 100 years old, is going to read for us. Then on to my brother’s traditional extended Christmas lunch. And after that Petra will drive me to her father - where at least nine kids are waiting for Santa. Well… lots of fun, all of it!
But tonight I am by myself, tired and grumpy after a few weeks of very hard work. Looking into myself. Gathering strength. And smiling at myself… I haven’t learned a lot, really. But I’m still trying.
