Life is good
This is painted on the wall just outside my apartment
Working late but have some time as my code takes ages to run. I discovered upon plugging in my camera that I had loads of pics from Mattson’s visit, so I thought I’d take the time to post a few. Next post will be about Germany and my thoughts on my team, the differences between European and American ultimate, and how bad cold rain is for IT bands.
But the long and short of it is, we finished second to a very good Munich team (that won Europeans last year), I love the Yaka girls, my IT bands survived, and I found out when I got home that my UIST paper on MobileASL got in. Life is good. (No idea what the equivalent French phrase is, else I’d use it.) I’ll be in Seattle on Friday, and in Victoria, BC in October.
OK, on to the photo gallery:

Rue Mouffetard and Mattson
Even in the 50s, the French were more chic
Mattson noted that this is a Hemingway quote (see above)
Garden across the Seine from Notre Dame
Notre Dame
Just because it's touristy doesn't mean it's not impressive...
...or beautiful
Real gold in that sword
Sunbathers on the Seine
Mattson in Paris
Mattson's feet, Bird showing camera awareness for once
Cats fighting. They do this all the time. Of course, this is why I brought Flotsam from Maine.
It's not fair. Flotsam has no teeth
Fatties (Lea's foot this time)
That book was fantastic btw
