Last night, me and my wife finished watching the end of the 2nd season of Heroes. We watched 4 episodes including the end of season episode. It’s really a shame that they had to finish and abort the season on episode 11, due to the writers strike.

I felt that producers and the actors really tried to save the spirit of the show in the last episode, but the closure went way to fast and to many things felt untidy. It’s a shame. The only ray of hope, was to glimpse the opening of season 3 (aka Tome III “Villains”).

Well, I just spend another weekend in the alps. We spend three great days in a thermal therapy site in the heart of the Alps, in Ovronaz (Valais). While we where onsite, we enjoy some great thermal therapy, based on massages, hydromassages, warm stone therapy and watsu massage (Water-Shiatsu). The best and most enjoyable moment is always bathing in warm water and having snow drift down from the sky at night.

Just spend the weekend in the Alps with a few friends from Geneva. The change of scenery was pleasant, yet there wasn’t enough snow to enjoy the ski slopes. Looks like a strange snowless winter so far.

Happy New Year 2007.

The Christmas period and the days after them, where rather quiet, and we took our time to adapt and clean-up the flat. We took advantage of the R&R we earned during the course of 2006.

This coming year will be very important for me and Jackie. In only three months we are expecting our family to grow by one member. We are very happy and looking forward to this coming event.

2007 is also the year of the Pig in the chinese horoscope. “The Pig is a fun and enlightening personality blessed with patience and understanding. People born under the sign of the Pig enjoy life and all it has to offer, including family and friends. They are honest and thoughtful and expect the same of other people. “.

Just like in 1947, 2007 is the year of the Fire Pig. “Active, outgoing and extroverted, Fire Pigs breathe new life into everything they do. These Pigs are vivid, motivated individuals who cannot be deterred from a goal once they have set it. They are emotional and passionate about their loved ones, their occupations and their objectives. They are bold and vivacious, unafraid to take risks despite the consequences. They make great bosses because they do work so hard and because they are so spirited. But don’t doublecross a Fire Pig. They have the ability to be quite abrasive when things don’t turn out as they planned.”
