Bienvenu, l'été!



It's here. It's finally here! This winter was mild, but it hasn't made my longing for warmth and long summer days any less.  I had a wonderful school year (I may or may not have gotten teary as they walked down my hall on the last day), but I am still willing to greet summer with open arms. Especially since my first evening of summer break involved 90+ degree weather, reading my Kindle in the back yard with my dogs, eating sushi on the pier in Charlotte with the husband, and a glass of wine at Pier 45. This is an auspicious beginning to my favorite season.

I have been studying French for the first time since high school. I bought software (Fluenz, in case you were wondering, and it's worth every penny... many, many pennies) and am nearly through Level 3 and have been listening to French podcasts instead of audiobooks on my commute. So I apologize in advance for any French I try out on you. Hopefully most of you don't speak French and won't notice any errors.

And since I know this is what you are all waiting for: Next Wednesday. Salvo Wednesdays officially return. À mercredi!
