THE Lunch of the Summer
Finally I had a chance to take my kids for a lunch - in a restaurant in the middle of a working day. THE lunch of the summer!!! It didn't require bells, whistles, balloons, music or showtime, neither any serious discussions, to make it a GREAT moment at least for myself. The food and the company is enough to make it!
If you are into a good steak at plain steakhouse style - or a bit closer to a grill style, go to the Grill Toro at Pohjantori, Espoo, Finland. Nothing fancy, straight forward steak & chips (French fries). Even the side salad is something you shouldn't mention.
What is worth mentioning, is the Ville Vallaton ice cream, Finnish version of the famous Dennis Menace. Enjoying that outside in the sun, doing nothing. Not bad...!
...there is a reason why the place has been open, live and busy since 1970.

Lifecycle of Blogs
The lifecycle of blogs is an interesting topic particularly for me, right now - and has been many times. I've been wondering if I should continue or not - should I stay or should I go...?
There are 3 blogs on my blog list, each of them being on the list for a reason. Unfortunately all 3 of them are inactive. One apparently faded away after new focuses and interests, another after the IB school project IB for Dummies linked to the blog ended, and now - after several years - the most fruitful of them, Tsupukka, seems to have faced the end.
A moment of silence...! ... ... ... Thank you.
If you need information regarding IB school program in fairly simple a.k.a. understandable format, go to the http://ibfordummies.blogspot.fi/ site.
If you wish to entertain yourself with multiple stories of life and whatever, check out http://tsupukka.blogspot.fi/.
...let's see what will be the life cycle of this blog - time will show. 7th year rolling from the first post and still flying (high?)...!

From Top to a Flop - or Staying Brave, 2 stories!
Yesterday I came across with 2 stories that were in similar nature;
One day a sportsman on top of the world, fame, glory, success, fans, money and so on.
The second day everything is gone, no more sports, no fans, no glory, no money.
Ice hockey professional Hannes Hyvönen opened a blog where he opens up in his first post, revealing the drastic change from the high fly to the deep dive. As he is a former Blues-man, he is one of the good guys ;o)
The blog of Hannes can be found here.
NBA all-star player and Olympic winner Vin Baker has opened up about his life changes, how he lost over 100 million dollars and getting rid of alcohol etc. Short story of his life change in Finnish at www.Iltalehti.fi can be found from here.
Two different stories, yet quite alike. Hats off to these brave men who speak about their challenging life phases openly. The key is to be honest to yourself, some people do not like it and that is totally OK, we can't please everyone.
On the other hand, if most people tell you that some elements in your behaviour are wrong, there is a pattern with the story, and in addition the actions / words you do or say - or you leave undone / unsaid - lead into similar unwanted results, take a deep breath, talk first to a mirror, then to some good people and think if there is something you should change yourself!
Use the mirror - and not just to see what you have left behind or running away from...!
...Damn I'm still glad I have not needed to follow their path, it would suck to wake up one morning and realize you had it all and you lost it - for one or another reason.
