After having spent a shortened weekend in Miami, it was time to fly Northly to visit the corporate office for a few days. I figure since said airline had trouble getting us into the country on time, negotiating the domestic airwaves would be like, well, pretty much like any other man-made disaster.

Like the Black Hole that is O’Hare, it swallowed up my luggage and tenderly allowed me to visit the corporate peoples in my Sunday-South Florida-Attire. Open-toed sandals and all.

Not that this was any reason to take a few weeks off for holiday, but I’m French now. And that entitles me to 7 weeks of paid time away from the stress of living here. You might know that as “vacation,” or “the two weeks a year where you can get your errands done.”

Yes, the family has come and gone. So as soon as I have the energy to put pants on, I’ll share with you some memories. Italian style. Tales of which include an anticipated record number of speeding tickets, The Grand Canal, and a precious, aging Granny who proceeded to wash dishes with Windex and grill her tea cup.
