62 players, 12 countries, 130 participants. A triumph of spirit. We play for history and the 10 million who could not play.
Everybody loved the design of the medals.
Most of my life I search for boredom but I can't find it. Life is too magical and the universe too mysterious. Just look at the giraffe. Don't tell me that you are not amazed.
Baby Yoda loves my "I Love Ping Pong" song too!
2019 was an amazing year for me. Lots of traveling, flying around the globe, as the leitmotif of the year was Ping Pong Parkinson, music and sport as the challenge of living and working with Parkinson. I feel grateful and thankful to so many friends and acquaintances who help me along the way.

Global movement of Ping Pong Parkinson fills my heart with joy and this is just the beginning. I hoped to show you some part of the film that is being done but it's not finished even the short samples. Filming done by Barbara Kopple's team a quality you can trust, the quality that was acknowledged with two Oscars.
And a Coffee table book is being created as we speak with photos of talented gentleman Warren Rosenberg with additional photos of Yoshiki Nagasaka and Glen Randmer
Recorded a championships anthem I Love Ping Pong (get it on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon etc), video done by talented Tibor Spiegel.

There are many stories of human compassion that I encounter but here I'll stop because this letter will never be finished otherwise...
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New 20, Happy Holidays. World Peace in One Hour
but most of all
Peace on Earth. Let's achieve this sooner rather than later. We have everything we need, right now.
Yours, Nenad Bach
