My life revolves around the people in it. Understatement would be to say I'm a people person. 2006 was rich with the gifts of quality time with those I love the most. Martijn and I spent a lot of time simply "hanging out", an activity that's highly underrated. John Lennon knew this when he wrote the line, "just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round...." Our relationship has deepened through the ability to simply "be" together. And we see mother, Geri and Marcel almost weekly. But that's only a small part of the year. In February, when I began this blog, we had the bittersweet honor of simply being with Aunt Ada in Florida when she passed. A great lady who led a great life and had a good death. We spent time with my cousins, Sarae and Stan, April and Chris, and with Cindy and Vince. Also on the same travel we saw the Minnesota gang. In May I spent true quality time with Sara and Allan Crimm and family, my counsin Hannah, Nancy Carolan, Barbara Craig, Linda DeAngeles, Mary Grace Gardner, Phil Goldsmith, Joe Smith, Bob Ingram, David and Roberta Meyers and family. At home in the Netherlands there were visits from Tom, Theresa and Lilly Griffith, Bob Ingram adn Yulan San, dik Bolger and Diane Berthel, plus scores of activities with old and new friends here including Ursula Glunk, Krista Knopper, Jang and Marion, Christina and Tom, the EPA crew, and new friends Casey O'Dell and Jerome, Barbara and Pawel Greenberg Kromholz, Trish Flannery and Olena. My trip to California for certification in Spiral Dynamics Integral included time with my dear old boss, John Quiter and wife Elaine, Leslie Mogul and Bill, and a long over due reunion with old pal Cherie. We see brother Janus, wife Irma and Tjeu and Leven, and sister Elle, husband Paul and Merel, Jonnie and Jolijke quarterly. So, people people my life, and I enter the New Year a very rich and happy person for it.

Faces of 2006
My life revolves around the people in it. Understatement would be to say I'm a people person. 2006 was rich with the gifts of quality time with those I love the most.
