Yesterday evening I got a call that a good friend of me and my wife has died in afternoon in a motorcycle accident.
Today I'm extremely sad a will probably leave work early.
We had planned to spend the summer vacation together as we did the previous years. I will miss him.

Yesterday I have been to the circus. I haven't been for at least 12 years and enjoyed the show. Go and visit http://www.flicflac.de/ to get an idea what these great artists are performing. Spent some good hours during these grief times with the number of dead and lost people in Asia still growing hourly.

The Tsunami in Asia has killed quite a lot of people as we know today, probably more than 70.000
Some of my friends stayed in Thailand, or at least so I believed. Actually all of them are back safe and left Thailand before the big wave came, I found out yesterday evening
Today I'm happy.

I finally decided to do this step and enter a first entry into my personal journal. Probably nobody will ever read this, but you are welcome to comment anyway.
