Day 2: The Road Less on Fire
Finally, a decent night’s sleep… sort of. They put a “roll away” bed in the room for me next to the king bed mom and dad slept in. The mattress was SUPER comfy, but the bed frame was made of wooden slats held to a metal frame by plastic end cups that weren’t, shall we […]
Day 1: Airports, and Rental Cars and Squid Ink, Oh My!
It was a long, long, long flight. Okay, so maybe only 8.5 hours, but still, it was cramped. Okay, so maybe we were in Economy Plus, but still, it was… actually over pretty painlessly. Staff on the flight was great. Biggest trial and tribulation was having to wait for my in-seat entertainment system to reboot. […]
1 Hour to Departure…

Day 29: Launch Prep
Thursday dawned bright and shiny with intermittent showers. And so began the cleaning of the apartment in preparation for departure. The afternoon was filled with hanging with friends for a tasty lunch from a gourmet place that sells everything in little glass pots. Quite good! Then goodbyes were said, and work was done despite it […]
Day 28: Last Time on “Clay in Paris”…
When we last left our intrepid hero, he was headed home from an amazing dinner where he ate raw horse. (Yeah, bitches, that’s what you get for not looking at all the pictures! No punches pulled here!!) Upon returning to Chez des Ecouffes, he discovered a series of emails informing him that the Moron Life […]
