Oh, that's what friends are for

Visiting the Netherlands for me means visiting friends. Friends with kids. Friends that study. Friends that are climbing the corporate ladder. Friends that have started business. But most importantly, friends I've missed for a while, but when together, it's just like old times. Some things remain the same, some things have drastically changed.
A very drastic change for me. Staying off the alcohol. Because I'm still not fully healthy, I'm avoiding alcohol at all costs during this trip, which is boring, but still better than possible unexpected consequences.

I was eyeing a steak. Which would be a solid foundation for a lengthy discussion.
As hard at it was for me to accept that I wouldn't get as much work done. I did need some time off and in some cases a fresh perspective on things. And that's what friends are for.

My personal twist:
For me the main focus will be on posting 4 things I did every day instead of 4 creative pushups.
