twenty-something years of "what have you been up to?"

and it’s only Thursday

Written by

Monday, Peter’s bid list had to be in. Hopefully it all got sent in right and we won’t be sent to Ickystan by default. Hong Kong and Domincan Republic were last minute options that we decided against. Let the bidders remorse begin. “Anywhere but Africa,” was Camille’s request. Stefan wants somewhere with snow. Check back for the actual ten-city bid list, which we will be posting soon.

I have a bunch of dolls done and plan to open a store at Etsy.com. I’m really excited about this prospect.

Last night Peter was up all night giving IV fluid to a patient with amebas.

Stefan’s teacher said that she asked if any students could describe Halloween. Stefan’s waved his hand wildly, was called on and announced that it’s really weird, but it hurts when he pees.

Today we went and demanded restitution from Air France for the ill-fated lost bag. First they have to make sure it isn’t in their lost and found in: Dubai. We really felt like we had accomplished something, just getting to Air France and talking to a person.

Our 400-pound consumable shipment arrived and kids ate three kinds of cereal for lunch.

My boss, in reference to my cable writing, is constantly reminding me that “if you put a gun on the mantle in act I…” (I maintain that it’s hard to come up with a punchy ending about Chinese bilateral relations so the whole gun thing perhaps shouldn’t apply, but that’s entirely beside the point).
Anyhow: the gun is on the mantle. WHERE IS YOUR BID LIST? You’re killing us.

Hey. My grandparents are from Ickystan. It is actually very beautiful, especially at this time of year when the leaves are turning.

The bids list controversy, it’s all good, let the adventure begin! It’s too easy to be critical. Your priority being the kid’s needs especially at Camille’s age is a huge factor, don’t want too give up french school either. Four kinds of hot will make you longing for snow and wanting something else than Afreak. Me I hope you’re just more accessible, doesn’t require a camel transfer (although that wouldn’t be all bad either). To me it’s all so very exciting where ever you go!
