Last night I was home at 8.15 pm, and we went for a run right away. We hadn't run for a couple of days since we had lots of visitors this weekend, so we really want to go for a work out. It was a good run, but we started too late so we finished the track when it was very dark outside. We saw a lot of of frogs in the dawn dark.

Durham Bulls.Yesterday we spent another great day with Ettie and Gerben. In the late afternoon we went to see a ball game of the Durham Bulls. The weather was good, and it was an entertaining event. I still find the sport somewhat slow but with all the different side shows in the breaks it was fun to watch. The Bulls won with 2-0 over the Louisville Bats.

We had dinner at Tyler's. This morning Ettie and Gerben are leaving to Savannah, Georgia, and they'll be back in Durham in a couple of days.

The week with all our guests has been great. Yesterday we had a nice dinner in our home with the 6 of us, and we had a lot of fun. Ettie and Gerben showed us a video of their new house.

Today is an easy day. After lunch Jaap and Mieke left for the airport. They are flying back over Detroit, and will arrive in Amsterdam tomorrow morning. We're taking it easy today -- it's been a tiring week, both at home and at work with a 1.0 release coming up.

Jaap, Mieke, Guus, Sasha, Ettie and Gerben.Ettie and Gerben, my sister and her husband, arrived in Durham!

They were at home when we arrived home yesterday, and it was great to see them again. It's been so long since we've all been together! So that asked for a picture to be taken.

In the evening went together to the Cheesecake Factory in Southpoint Mall, and the guests were duly impressed by the huge portions. A very nice evening.

Last Friday I ran in the morning. I got up at 6.00 am and ran to Whole Foods and then Campus Drive, about 1 hour. The same day Sasha and I ran together, the extended loop around the Golf Course -- 44.41.

We did the same a few days later, on Tuesday, around 45 minutes. Now we just came back from my traditional course, 40.20 minutes.
