Thank you!

My dearest friends,

Two weeks have passed and I am still drifting around with a feeling that would be "eerie" if it were not so pleasant and therefore I will call it an EAERE feeling instead. I hardly know what day it is and I just swim, sleep and chat. The last couple of days I moved from Marstrand to the countryside and I have literally been "making hay while the sun shines". I refuse to make any plans that stretch over more than a few hours... Sun is shining hard and sometimes I sit in the shade and answer the many nice emails (over a hundred!) that say kind things about the conference. I would like to turn this around and say THANKS to all of you for coming and participating with such a combination of energy and intellectual nerve so as to make this conference such a rewarding event. Thanks so much for your contributions in making this happen. And let's all develop the ideas from here into journal articles and into new collaborations that will take us forward to next year's conference in Amsterdam where I hope we will all meet again.

All the best
