Best Birthday Present ever – Again

I just turned 65.

And then comes the big question, of course: What do you want for your birthday?

Organized as I am, I was prepared for this.

I actually started a gift list (for myself). Adding to it now and then, because deciding at the last moment is not a good idea.

But, the list was still empty.

Why? Because I actually have everything.

What more could I wish for beyond:

  • Two healthy, grown-up daughters who are doing well in life.
  • A grandchild.
  • A wonderful wife.
  • And on top of that?
    I look good, I’m smart, and I’m a pleasant man.

We went out to dinner together, and yet I got a birthday gift. What did you expect.
A number of cards to choose from. One or more.

And honestly?

It was spot on.

All gifts that had nothing to do with material things,

  • but everything to do with doing things together,
  • with activities, with experiences.

I couldn’t wish for a better gift.

Thank you.

Here’s the list

  • Movie night / movie marathon of Star Wars / LOTR / Hobbit (appears twice)

  • Bike ride with picnic

  • Dinner at a restaurant of choice

  • Cinema with a drink afterwards

  • Cultural outing of choice

  • A whole weekend of quality time with Hazel

  • Board game night with snacks

  • Self-made wine tasting with snacks

  • Photoshoot with the people you love

  • Birthday gift voucher – choose your gift from the options that follow

  • Dinner with a campfire and marshmallows in the woods

Against the Wind.

A boat that simply sails with full sails along with the wind can never be faster than the wind. A boat that sails across the wind can go faster than the wind speed and thus reach higher speeds. The same applies when you want to achieve something. If you just go along...

The Real Secret to Getting up Early.

The secret to getting up early is not waking up early but going to bed on time. Any alarm clock can make you get up early. But what's the point of crawling out of bed early with an alarm if you're not refreshed and have no energy? The purpose of getting up early is to...

IndianSpiceTrail @ AnkurWarikoo.

The opening of “Do Epic Shit” by Ankur Warikoo could be the perfect “About page” for this blog site, IndianSpiceTrail. Here the original version. Page 3 This book may very well turn out to be the most useless book you will ever buy. Because nothing in this book is...

Hell Yeah or No | Derek Sivers.

I got to know Derek Sivers through Ali Abdaal's podcasts, in the early years when I started following podcasts myself. Back then, I was a big fan of Ali, now a bit less so, but Derek has only grown in my eyes. His works are small, simple, and impactful. One of those...

Sleeping at Grandma’s.

Dear sweet Elodie, You stayed over at Grandma's last night for the first time in a long while. How fun was that! Both for you and for Grandma. You together with Grandma in that big bed and no Gaston (your little brother) in sight. Grandma took you along, and Gaston...

The 4-Hours Work Week | Tim Ferriss – 2

Reflection with Nuance I listened to The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. Or at least most of it. For some reason, the English audio version was nowhere to be found. No idea why. There was a German, a Spanish, and a Dutch version. In the end, I listened to the...

Mindset | Carol S. Dweck

I've started it. A bit critically. I had already read that the book might be too detailed. That after the first hour of listening, you pretty much get it. And yes, that's true: you quickly understand the core. But still: by continuing to listen, something happens.You...

Losing Weight with Linda.

A New Goal, a New Attempt. Once again, I weigh 90 kilograms. It's June 2025, and this is yet another time I've reached that weight. Not funny. My excuse this time? Well, I had surgery last year. The surgery itself was successful, but afterward, I wasn't allowed to...

From 928 to Z4.

Boyhood Dream Long ago, when animals still talked and I was young, I, like every young man, admired beautiful car “s. In the '70s and '80s, those were the icons for me: the Jaguar E-Type, the Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari” s... but also more accessible sports cars...

Burning Calories

From Time to Calories One of the insights that was reiterated to me in the book How Not to Die is how limited the effect of exercise is on weight loss. Simply because you burn relatively few calories through exercise, especially compared to how many calories you...

My Heroes

My heroes It's impossible not to write a piece about who my heroes are. This comes from several examples here and there. But without a doubt: my parents are at the top of the list. Not for the classic, grand reasons, but simply... it's incredible how hard my parents...

Letter to Hazel

My dearest Hazel We are now in mid-July 2025. Just two more weeks, and then you will literally be ten months old. You've been able to crawl for a week now. And we are already looking forward to you taking your first steps soon. Uncertain, with ups and downs, and...

Cycling in Spain

The Climb In one of my previous lives, I was with a partner who was quite into cycling. Fast bikes. Racing bikes. And well, as a man, at least, me anyway, you do your best to please your partner. We already had some experience traveling with a travel agency called “G...
