In which I am left to my own devices (with a quick update about why I can't go back to the US just yet). What would you do with 2-3 weeks all on your own?
We spent this past weekend visiting with some friends in Lausanne, Switzerland. We (finally) got our A/C (mostly) fixed, but the heat wave continues unabated. We sure were glad to…
Kristian and I went shopping the other day and the guy helping us out said, "Hey, your French is decent, are you Belgian?" First of all, this is empirically hilarious.…
