Ghost Town
Cheesus Crust, I pity the tourists in Paris this summer. We had about a week or two of real summer weather in July, and then it all went downhill from there. Last weekend it rained for two days straight, alternating between drenching rain and piss-rain. Lila was glued to the window, tapping it and shouting,…

Bones
The Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle literally transported me back in time, but not in a particularly good way. The building was musty and the displays were disappointing.

The End is the Beginning is the End
I’m packing to go back to Paris … to pack. Our Roma stint is coming to an end; here I am on my knees, packing again. The sky changes drastically from day to day. Yesterday I was downtown in shorts and sandals, and today it’s raining and gray. There seems to be no consistency to…
