Today we paint...

After dropping off Eleanor at daycare, I returned home to begin taping off the window casings and trim boards for our new living room color. Several hours later, the room is halfway completed. Tonight was a trip to Target for a gigantic tub of Lego Quatro blocks. Eleanor and I then returned home to play with them. My day was all about being constructive. Let's hope I can keep it up.

New beginning

Wow! That's really clichéed! We've got a new house. Claire has a new job. I thought it was time for a new blog. And, now I can comment on Asslese's blog.

Monday after next, I travel to Frankfurt am Main for the world's largest book fair. While there, I have booked a train to Paris to see my publishers. It sounds so jet-set, but it's really pretty ghetto... Ghetto-fabulous! (Geez, that's not five years out of style slang-wise.) I haven't been to Paris in ten years. Christophe mentioned something about a visit to Pigalle. I know very little about Paris because I refused to watch those morons on Real World Paris. I want to see Colette and this other bookstore, Florence Loewy, that specializes in artists books. I'm staying next to the Pompidou. Before I leave Paris, I will make sure to buy a beret with 'Rusty' in cursive across the front.
