Just a little update to let y'all know that Yes, I am still alive and that No, I did not die of a heart attack after learning I was finally French. (Though I may die of one soon if Fab does not find my currently "misplaced" citizenship letter.....)

But things have been busy over here at chez ksam, leaving little time for blogging or blog-reading. Our mini roadtrip went well and I was relieved to find that I was not tired of the man (nor he of I) after several days together non-stop. The gîte was absolutely lovely and it was nice to play "Grown-up Couple living in a Real House" for a few days. We were also really lucky with the weather - while it did rain off and on throughout the week, the sun always came out just as we were ready to leave. And considering that no one really goes to Bretagne in November, it meant we had pretty much every place we visited all to ourselves.
Besides those few days of calm and repos though, time has absolutely been flying by. Work has been busy as usual and with the exception of Thanksgiving week, I will be traveling pretty much every week between now and Christmas. But at least my travels usually bring some blog-worth happenings....
