Leaving for Europe (mostly Paris) in just under 9 hours.
I plan:
- to eat baguettes so crisp on the outside, so soft on the inside that I will become embittered about American baguettes for the rest of my life.
- to try to smuggle a really stinky cheese back to the US in a pair of old socks.
- to fly 5000 miles to Paris where good chefs are treated like royalty, and order le Big Mac from a McDonald’s on Champs Elysee. Just kidding.
- to sit in a cafe with cigarette, a cafe creme, a beret, a turtleneck and no deoderant, and practice not smiling at the passers-by.
- to reenact part of the Da Vinci Code by lying naked and spread-eagled on the floor of the Louvre with pagan symbols scrawled all over me.
As I’ve prepped for this trip, I’ve thought about post on www.amishrobot.com . Suffice it to say that I will be reading A Moveable Feast on the flight to Europe.
A bientot!

So where’s the new post? Or are you implying that a trip to Paris is so “everyday” for you that its just not worth commenting on? Does nothing happen in France or did the scent of deoderant dull your senses on your return? Youth wants to know. Inquiring people still inquire.
