Thanks, Hec. I'll let you know. I actually have a colleague who wants to teach it and I'm working on wrangling books for him to use immediately and for me to use after.

Jesse, Paris! I am happy for you and more than a little envious.

Carpe Paris!

It really is perverse -- I'm spending so much money on stuff that's not enjoyable that I'm spending even more for fun and adventure!

I understand that reasoning all too well.

I am very tempted by this line of thought. There are some kind of reasonable flights (in relation to regular insanely priced flights to Europe from Canada) to Dublin in November. I am trying to convince myself to wait until spring.

Because books.

I'm studying up on the publisher's romance line for my interview. Whee!

Not going to Paris, though, which is a bummer.
