This is just a short post to show everbody that even though my health is not the best these days (still suffering under a lightly swollen big toe), I’m nonetheless having a wonderful and exciting time with my family back in Germany.
All of us have survived the Christmas time without too much damage and we’re optimistic and looking forward to the new year 2009.
I’m happy that I can sit here in a warm room on a comfortable chair with the wood oven heating the room and clicking silently and radiating its warm infra red waves in my direction.
I get good, nutritious, vegetarian food again - too much if I’m honest. I’m enjoying the presence of my kind mother, sister and her boyfriend Andi, I like to play with our dog Sydney and to work on this new T61 lenovo laptop - man what would I have given for this black machine while I’d been dying again and again with the old and totally insufficient iBook 600 MHz in South America.
I’m thinking a lot. About the past, the present and the future. I think about work and studies. I’m also thinking about the work on this website and the lectures I’ve planed for 2009 - how do I put my priorities right?
My friends in Australia will probably celebrate New Year in a few hours already and the whole world will look to the big fireworks at the Sydney harbour bridge. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing, probably enjoy a quiet and secure New Year’s evening, something that doesn’t disturb my tranquilitem animi too much 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
