A slightly late Merry Christams to everyone, and all the very best for the New Year.

Happy New Year to you all.

I am away until Monday so hope you all have a good night tonight.

This was a significant decade for me. It started with my brother's untimely passing (Menno knew Ed and understands the significance for me), then a year later was the terrorist attack of Sept 11. George Bush and Dick Cheney led us down a long and stinking path of war and financial ruin. I changed jobs about a dozen times. The time came to put Ajax USA to pasture. And the decade ended with my mother's passing. Here I am, just hours away from the end of this decade, and I am pretty happy to see it in the rear-view mirror. However, I love my wife and children with a passion that can't be expressed in words, and I'm grateful for friends who love me despite knowing me. And in all of this, I cherish my friendship with all of you, and with Ajax in general. My unlikely and hard-to-explain allegiance to AFC Ajax Amsterdam and all of you has given me more pleasure and solace than you can imagine. So at the very death of the decade, I raise a glass (a bottle, actually) to you all, and I say thank you for being my friends. Hup Ajax!

A very moving, yet meaningful summing up of the last ten years. I agree that, although we have to remember what's happened in the last decade, we must move on, hopefully to something better. As far as life in general is concerned, the world seems to be gradually crawling out of the worst recession in living memory. Coupled with the seemingly pointless and unwinable task in the Afghan mountains, I'm still a little tentative about the next ten years...let's just hope that some joy comes to us via the lads at the Arena....it might take that long!!!

Happy New Year all!!

Ever heard of the Nieuwjaarsduik ('New Year's Dive' or 'New Year's Plunge')?

Dutch tradition. Thousands of Dutch youngsters go to the beach on New Year's Day (the largest numbers gather on Scheveningen beach in The Hague) and storm into the North Sea for a quick New Year's Dive in the freezing cold.

Newspaper De Telegraaf always put a picture on the front page of a random 'New Year's Diver'. Could as well have been you or me, of course, or a 59 year-old factory worker from Tilburg named Bernie. Happy New Year from Holland.

The orange hats are provided by Unox, Holland's greatest hot dog/sausage brand...

Didn't notice the orange hat at all!

This is highly suspicious...

Actually Ko, this is the 2009-girl, this year's girl had less pronounced extremities....

Random , what if it had been the girl in red in the background...

Is it just me or did it suddenly get very warm in here ? !!! NICE, uh, hat !!

If you hover your mouse over the first picture it says, "SOEP MET BALLEN."

Alright everybody, I'm gonna ignore my computer (and Ajax, for that matter) for a few days...

Just wanted to wish you all a very, very Happy Christmas with your loved ones, and a more than fantastic New Year!

Have to agree with every word there. Hope everyone has a good relaxing Christmasand a Happy New Year. Ko, your first as a dad, so however peaceful this year is the next and the one after that will be progressively less so (but a whole lot more enjoyable too).

A Happy Christmas to all of you . Thanks to everyone who has kept this site going so we can discuss our great team

Have a great New Year .

2011 I will come to Amsterdam .
