What are You Doing Here? 

I wonder.

I also wonder if I'm a little bit too enthusiastic about words. Earlier today I read the word "zakmes" in a Dutch advertisement, right beneath the picture of a pocket knife. Then I thought "how odd, it's the same as in English." I mean, "zak" means "pocket", "mes" means "knife". Well, duh. It's the same in Norwegian and Swedish, so I don't know why I was so surprised. It's like I was thinking "well, that is clever, and I always thought the Dutch were so backwards!" - I don't think so, because I know quite a few of them and have been in love with their country and language since I was little. So there.

I'm just checking that you're still alive and kicking! And you sure are! ...in case you wondered...
