Went for a run at 5.30 pm PT, felt like 8.30 pm EST :) Had a big lunch, didn't eat very well yesterday either. Was good to be running. Ran with Jim, a colleague.

I'm in San Jose, California for a business trip; we arrived a few hours ago. I just finished checking my e-mail and worked through the updates from our bug tracking system.

It's 5.00 pm here, 8.00 pm at the East Coast, and we're going for a run. First meeting at 8.00 am tomorrow.

Netherlands-Denmark in NYC.This morning I watched the soccer game Netherlands-Denmark in a bar at Times Square in New York. It was a unique experience to be in a bar at 7.30 am on a Monday morning. No beer for me, just coffee, but plenty other fans had beers with their soccer game.

Petra and her mother were also there; it was great to see them. They were leaving on a cruise to Canada in the afternoon and spent some time in New York City this weekend. There were about 300 Dutch people in the bar watching the soccer game, and maybe 15 to 20 Danish fans.

It was great to watch with such a crowd, even better of course since Holland won with 2-0.

Just before the first goal.

All orange.

The second floor of the bar.

We watched two games today, and went for a run/walk in between. It was nice to see Ghana defeat Serbia with 1-0, with my old friend Mr. Kingston saving the day a few times.

After a great run/walk along the canal we saw Germany-Australia over lunch. In the middle of the second half it started raining and the apartment complex lost its satellite connection. That was quite annoying since we missed goals three and four. A very strong German team.

We'll be leaving to the Trenton train station in a while when Sasha is going back to DC.

England vs. USAIlana turned 11 years old this week, and today we went to her birthday party. It was an outdoor pool party.

The World Cup game between England and the USA started at 2.30 pm and we watched it from the bar at the pool area. It was an exciting game with a good result for the USA. Even if the goal in the 40th minute was a very lucky one. Ruud Gullit was a commentator for ESPN/ABC. I get the impression that soccer is getting more popular in the US.

In the evening Sasha and I made barbecue at our pool. We cooked chicken, sausage and corn, with plenty of leftovers for during the week.
