Day 3

-
Well, today was my first full day on French time and it went pretty well. Had a nice breakfast, put on my suit and tie and walked to work. It is really nice to be able to walk to work. You get in a little exercise in the morning and evening, and the old Roman city here is so interesting there are a million things to see. Little Boulangerie's and Patisserie's around every corner. I'm sure it'll get old, but for now it makes for an interesting commute.

The language barrier can be really frustrating, but I'm learning. At least they speak English at work. Well, it's broken English but it's way better than my French. The project is certainly an interesting one, and a good resume builder. Unfortunately, we are continuing to discover communication gaps, especially around how much I am actually needed here. Working in France is all fine and good, but I've got a honey and a new house in Kentucky that I'm already homesick for. Ben and Matt are talking about visiting, which would be a good time if they can swing it.

I bought soap, shampoo, Toilet paper and some really good beer at the market today. PB&J for dinner and a couple classes of Sancerre. Just about to hop on a web call with Ella. We had a good one yesterday. I found out there is a data throughput limit on the Free Internet I get at the hotel though, and I think I ran it out yesterday loading up pics. Won't make that mistake again. I need to take my camera with me to work sometime so I can get some shots of the town to share with you guys.

hot dog buns

The secret to the bread pudding at Keeneland is hot dog buns. My friend Matt tells me this and his sources are absolutely reliable - he heard it from the chef himself. I was fortunate enough to have some of this excellent bread pudding this week, as Ella and I attended day 1 of the Keeneland fall yearling sale. The top sale of the day brought a mere $5.2 million, as compared with $11.7 million for the top horse the following day. There are so many great things about the Keeneland Association, just one of which is that 99% of their activities are free (or at least inexpensive) and open to the general public. Try popping in for an auction at Sotheby's, or Derby day at Churchill downs - it's just not going to happen. The Keeneland fall yearling sale is one of the premier thoroughbred events in the world, and it's free and open to the public. Heck, all you need is a letter of credit on file, and you too can plunk down $11 million plus for a 1-year-old never-raced-before p

Some thoughts on impeachment

-
We've had a few days of the impeachment circus so far, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. For sure, impeachment is always a political process, so it's divisive and disrupts the national dialog whether we like it or not. So I'm writing this piece mostly to try and wrap my head around what I've learned from the witnesses so far. For background, I'm looking at the current proceedings in the broader historical context of impeachment. We've only done impeached 2 presidents in the last 250 years, so it's kind of a big deal. Nixon left office before Congress actually had a chance to impeach him, though they almost certainly would have. So what is the "standard" for impeachment as it has been applied in these other cases: Andrew Johnson defied Congress. The "radical Republicans," as they were called at that time, wanted to punish the southern states and the Confederacy. Johnson disagreed, as he basically thought that approa

88 Keys

-
My loving wife bought me a piano for my 30th birthday. Our local piano store was having a good sale, so I got this present early - it was delivered last week. I understand that other family members have also contributed to this gift, making it that much more special. I've wanted my own piano ever since I left home, where I had one available to me at all times. That was just over 10 years ago. Playing piano is something I've always enjoyed, so to have it back in my life after so long is really a shock to the system. I walk by my new piano every day now, and it still hasn't quite settled in that it's mine, and it's here to stay. I have no idea how to say thank you for a gift like this. I did make my way to the music store last week as well, and picked up 3 books: 1) 19 popular works by Chopin 2) Norah Jones' "Come Away with Me" words and music 3) A book on jazz theory, specifically chord structures Let's just say that cracking open some she
