Figure [1]: Mr. Muscle at the Silicon Valley Marathon Relay

Michael If you can't complete a full marathon, you can also divide it into four parts and run it as a relay in America. Some colleagues at Netscape had urged me to run the last 6.9-mile leg of the Silicon Valley Marathon in San Jose. For an old marathon veteran, 11.1 kilometers are, of course, not a challenge, so I completed them in just 57 minutes. If you enlarge image 1, you can see my brutal leg muscles during the final sprint!

Figure [2]: We are stocked up on chocolate.

Shortly before Christmas, our mailman had to carry a heavy load because all the packages that arrived from Germany -- our neighbor's children were already getting really curious. Thanks to everyone who showered us with gifts -- apparently, word got around that we love Milka chocolate, which isn't available here. Figure 2 shows the haul -- we're well-stocked now, many thanks to everyone! Make way for Angelika!
