Loyal Amex customer .... propably no more
An American Express loyal customer for quite some time, paying 170€ per year for this, and channeling pretty much all spending through Amex.
So far just a “bit” pissed off for receiving now and then an offer to join Amex for free/extra points. Just bad CRM?
Now seeing where/how Amex uses the profits…. I will be an ex customer as of 3/2011.

Weekend with many faces...
Great company of Antti, high-end HiFi, BBQ in snow, funerals, Teekkaritorvi 40y celebrations, LPs/Sauna/chatting with Aija and Pekka....
Season start... no luck, but slide
Season started 04.12. ... with shortest ever session. No grip on ice :(

And they made sand out of my childhood's exciting, legendary "Mountain"...
I used to wander in a state owned "Aarnimetsä" in Pihtipudas. My specific favourite was a rocky hill with a forest fire watch tower.... but now it's half gone :( 
Just cannot understand it....
I live in 30 household complex.... we have 3 boxes reserved for household garbage - these boxes are emptied once per week. Some brilliant individual decided to get rid of his/her old sofa filling all 3 garbage boxes. 29 other households had to keep their garbage somewhere else for few days... what a f--khead. I admit I was utterly pissed. Still am after 3 weeks.
Nuuksio.... too close?
Nuuksio is always a pleasure... and so close that it experiences the same faith than all the other attractions capital area would offer for you but you seldom go since they are too close?
Positive surprises in empty Helsinki night
Had a dinner with Markus in La Table .... which was nice. On the way home we decided to check out Le Bonk - Lenni Kalle Taipale et al were doing cover night. Brilliant stuff really - especially fantastic version from Lovely Day - I wish that particular version we heard would be available as recording. Actually very sad that I cannot hear it anymore... it's gone now.

Pihtipudas oh Pihtipudas...
Right from the first kilometers of the 450km long journey, to the late evening arriving moments (that silence!), to the "going to bed after very late sauna, supper, chat and a cold beer… in total silence), to a gorgeous awakening in the morning, and if lucky that windsurf (like this time…hhhmm: http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/tsihvola/divihe939k3hjni5 40km back and forth sometimes nicely powered with my 9.5m2 rig)... a real, unique pleasure, unmatced in my small universe…
Degrowth
World... hear hear Peter Victor.
Very unfortunately we won't - humanity is deemed to change course only through major crisis?Tuesday, September 21, 2010
