Today I meet John Brierley. He published his first book in 2004. I published this site the same year.

We have a few things in common.

Was great meeting him!

Ivar and me.. :) When I arrived in Santiago some time ago, I (nearly) accidentally went past Ivar's office. Of course I rang the doorbell and voila, there he was! So nice to meet him and thank him for this splendid forum and so nice to have a conversation in Norwegian. Hyggelig å møte deg, Ivar! Tulle.
