Life goes by so fast. I need to put things down here quickly before they become a distant memory. Last night, I attended the annual Christmas dinner of the youth division of my political party. Not very many people I knew were in attendance (the youth division is very large, and I've been a member long enough to have become part of a certain 'group.')
The conversation was mostly small talk, but it was nice to make some new connections. The ambience in the restaurant Polman's Huis was fantastic. The food was also very good.
Ank Bijleveld, a State Secretary of our political party, was the evening's guest. She is a lovely woman, seemed very kind and intelligent. While you can't judge a person's character after one evening, she did strike me as very much the kind of women I hope to become. Sometimes those dreams seem very distant, but then again... sometimes they seem very close by.
