Senator Barack Obama has decided that the best way to give voters confidence in his foreign policy abilities by traveling to Europe and the Middle East to meet with some of the leadership of these nations. My question is what difference does this make at this point? We have about four months before...
I have never been a plate person, but then I went to Europe! And I became a pitcher person too, now the owner of ten or so milk jugs (as Brits and Kiwis call them). As I was going through boxes, I kept only the ones that really appealed. The rest will go to ebay!

This summer is divided into three parts: Greece, New York, and Ile de Ré. Tomorrow I embark on the third leg of summer 2008. Considering I just got back to Paris yesterday morning, I'm not happy about this. I'm super-excited to meet the baby I'll be nannying, and settle in to the beach house, but I...
We're all off to France tomorrow. I may send the odd update from my phone if I can, but then again I may not. Where we're going is rather rural, so I'm not sure what the network coverage will be like. There will be cows. Right outside our front door. We'll be there for the 14th of July, so I expect...
