Architect working as an advisor

Hmm. My grandmother died this night. I don't know much details, really. She was 82, as far as I knew still pretty healthy. Had a bad leg (as in, had skin cancer there a few years back) and I wouldn't put it past her to have hid any discomfort she had from that (it took my mom well over a year to find out that she had a 'bad spot' on her leg). Apparently she fell and was found by a neighbour. In the hospital they said the leg had to come off for sure if she'd wanted to survive. That, she didn't want. Still, it went quite fast (first thing I learned about her being in the hospital was about 2 hours before she died).

I'll miss her for sure, but at least she came to a nice age.

I'm sorry to hear that, as well.

My condolences to you and your family.

Was it your mom or dads side?

Moms side, I never knew my dads parents.

Anyway, thanks. I have no real troubles with it, I'm probably the least emotional family member in this all. She had a good life, but she chose not to try and lengthen it. I'll miss her, sure, and it'll be a bit strange. But she's in peace.

Almost forgot: we're moving. Got the keys to the house last week.

Sorry to hear about your loss Mitch.

But glad to hear you're on the move and will be in a new house soon. Rotterdam right?

Absolutely.

How hard is to to get to Rotterdam from Amsterdam?

There is a small chance I'll be in Amsterdam for a week in March. We could possibly try to meet up for a mini-bx gathering?

Going from Rotterdam to Amsterdam is probably like taking the bus for just one stop in Canada.

That would be awesome. And yes, it's about an hour by public transport. Or by car. Quite easy, so that shouldn't stop you.

Well. I get the travel package info the next couple weeks. I'll see how much it is and take it from there, if I can afford it. The trip is only 4 days, I was considering hanging around for a a few more days to make it worth the flight.

I'll let you know!

What's the occasion that might bring you to Amsterdam?

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 3:27 pm

4 day training seminar at the Remy Bonjanski Academy.

Niiiice! So you're still improving with the muay thai?

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 6:49 pm

Yeah. My coach is organized a trip, and it seems like it would be fun.
I want to get a real fight, and doing the seminar would be far harder than any fight I would get here.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Mon Dec 03, 2012 1:45 am

That I would believe.
Well, lemme know how things progress. It would be fun to meet up here.

I seem to have the flu.

Also, that better not be the last week of March.
