Poking around the intersection of KM and Social Media
I am a hiker, which for me, means hiking at least once a week. When time permits, I plan a longer hike on the weekend — 10+ miles — but I almost always hike at least once on a weeknight. During my three weeks in Paris, I did a lot of walking, but no hiking. […]
Tonight, Joan and I picked up the keys to our new place. By the end of July, we’ll be moving out of our respective duplexes and into our new beach shack. While the new place has much more space than either of our current homes, we’ll still have to consolidate our furniture make it work […]
Today is a travel day. Our driver picks us up in front of the apartment at 10am (Paris time, mind you). From CDG we take a short flight to Heathrow, then the long leg to LAX. Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately?) there’s no wifi on these flights, and I’ve got to get ready to go. This […]

This Grand Foyer was designed with the thought that during intermission, the “performance” of life goes on… so why not provide a suitable stage to showcase the performance? Joan and I liked the Opera Garnier better than Chateau Versailles — which was great, […]
