Awesome - congrats on getting closer to the finish line!

(Main takeaway from visiting Q in Paris last week is that it is damn close to 100% he is gonna do grad school somewhere in France or Amsterdam)

That’s fantastic, Rob.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

That’s great news, Bobby P. Swamp ski trip in a couple years?

And Bengal, what is Q studying? Besides « les jeunes femmes parisiennes »?

I'd risk the last shreds of patella tendon to do another Euro ski trip. You might ask, GPJ, how can jerking off two dudes at the same time endanger your knee ligaments? Just know that I invented the slalom.

Very excited for you Pentagonz!

he's a french major so full immersion is the real win -he's taking 5 classes - variety of art history, language, literature type stuff. He's pretty much fluent now. I am so proud and jealous. And he's close to fluent in Spanish too, and I keep telling him that will open doors for him, speaking that many languages etc. I assume. I don't know. I barely speak one...

Ive been doing Duolingo hard for some time now, but also have a local tutor. Last three weeks I’ve been doing about six hours a week with her. Company is paying for our tutoring, and wife and I both get a one week immersion class when we get over. That said, c’est difficile.

Found the nearest golf course, which is ten minutes from the office. Looks pretty nice! But honestly, I’m not sure how much golf I’ll be playing. So much stuff I want to see.

I think Bob is living the dream for all of us.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
