"The Netherlands-American Association of Minnesota (NAAM) is the club where typical Dutch and 'gezelligheid' mix to a warm blend of friendship. On our gatherings you can freely speak Dutch if you want to, English (with an accent) is the main language. Our events often have a stand that sells real Dutch treats. It is always worthwhile to visit an event. Each event has its own character, but each event is "gezellig". For all those who feel connected to the Netherlands, NAAM is there in Minnesota."

I arrived Friday afternoon in Durham. I took an earlier flight since I didn't want to get caught in cancellations due to the snow storm here. Sasha and I went for dinner in our favorite restaurant in Durham; that was great.

Yesterday we woke up in a white world. Since North Carolina rarely gets snow the roads were plowed or brined, so it was tricky to drive. I made it safely to the grocery store in the morning but it was difficult to drive up some hills because it was so icy. Strange.

In the afternoon we went to the Duke Chapel to witness Bia's baptism. That was beautiful. She grew a lot in a few months and didn't cry much during the ceremony.

In the evening we visited friends for a fun dinner. We walked through the snow.

Hidden behind the store is a Dutch treasure: an 88 year old street organ, de Violanta. Visit the website to see when the streetorgan can be seen in action throughout New Jersey and beyond.

It's 2010 and I'm still using Windows XP, and I'm actually quite happy with it.

One of the small annoyances is the 'beep' that sounds when you change the volume. Since it's a quiet Saturday morning and the snow is impacting some of the plans we had I googled for a solution.

Howtogeek.com has the answer I was looking for.

I flew back to Durham today. Last night I considered getting up early and do an early morning run in Somerset, but it was late and I figured today would be a long day, with a flight from Philly at 6.00 pm. Because of a threatening snowstorm I took an earlier flight so I arrived home around 4.30 pm, so I had the opportunity to go for a run when it was still light.

Did my 6 mile course to Whole Foods and back, took 58 minutes and felt great. It's nice that there are sidewalks everywhere!
