My good friend Carsten introduced this question some months ago, and I've been thinking about it ever since: How do you find your playmates? As a kid it was easy: Go up to any house on the road where a kid about your age lived, ring the doorbell, and ask "Wanna play?"
The need … Continue Reading ››

What’s happening in my life
Attention, adrenaline junkies
I want to go to Ohio, and try the worlds fastest, tallest roller coaster, Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point. How does 128 meters tall, and 0 to 190 kph acceleration in 4 seconds sound to you?
Seven Lotus Sevens
Saturday I was riding my motorcycle to Svendborg. At the toll plaza for the Great Belt bridge, I noticed a Lotus Seven in front of me. And another one. And two more in the next lane! They got through before me, so I floored it across the bridge to try and catch them … Continue Reading ››
Happy birthday to me
Today's my birthday, and the flags are up all over town - not just for me though, it also happens to be the birthday of the crown prince. Anyway, I think that todays Over The Hedge strip was especially fitting. And in case you're wondering: The crown prince and I turn 35 today.
Street musicians giving away money
I saw something really cool today: A choir of 10 or 12 middle-aged swedish men were singing in one of the squares in central Copenhagen (they were really good, btw).

Feelgood movies
Carsten and I arranged a feel-good movie night last week. It's simple: Get some nice people together and watch a movie that makes you feel good. We saw Field of dreams, which to me epitomizes the genre. It contains every single element that makes a good feel-good movie: It's a quiet, touching movie with … Continue Reading ››
What’s in a name
One of the true pleasures of being a Kjerulf (or a Kierulff, a Kjerulff or a Kjærulf) is to know that I'm part of a huge family of over 11.000 other Kjerulf's. I know this beacuse of one guy, Cap Kierulff, who has collected the entire family tree going back 600 years to our common … Continue Reading ››
