Still Kickin'

Just want to let everyone know that we're still alive and kicking. Haven't had much to blog about since our 'social coordinator' moved to Switzerland and left us to our own devices.

Paris has come alive again after a nice quiet August, and with the rentree brings the delight of marathon queuing at the grocery store as everyone stocks up on school supplies (have I already written about this???? I'm having 'deja typed'). To add to that fun, last week we got to deal with not only the Canadian International Tax Office (whose phone was busy for what seemed like a week straight. Never did get to talk to them) but the Centre des Impots here in France. Let me tell you, you haven't had a good time till you've spent the night dealing with French taxes. Not even a bottle of red wine can numb the pain.

Other than that, things have been pretty quiet around here, getting back into the routine of working (gasp!) has left me pretty exhausted, and with the standard 'back to school' cold that's just bad enough to make you feel tired and achy, but not bad enough to actually call yourself sick. Fun times.

Hope everyone is doing well.

:)
