My conference will be held in Australia next year, and I'm hoping to make it. I'm getting tired of typing here, because the keyboard's layout is different than what I'm used, and the space-bar is broken, so I have to hit it two or three times to get it to work. The weather here is nice and hot. I think making wine here is not allowed without a permit. I was surprised in the grocery store today by how cheap it is to buy good wine and beer here.
Good bread is cheap, too.
Back home, they charge more than twice as much for a stale loaf. I got back yesterday afternoon. The trip back was very very long, though. My tickets were for Nice to Amsterdam, then Amsterdam to Atlanta. I was near Toulouse, so I wanted to come back by a different route.
