Summer 2007

More fun than you can shake a taser at, and certainly enough to inspire us to continue for a while longer!

You may not find this tangibly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.

Hard to tell. Presently we're scheming out ten days in Corsica when Kristin visits in late November, but at the moment the French are on strike again, so fingers crossed that either Sarkozy or the unions cave in pretty soon.

Next year, 2008, is a "COP year" -- every three years the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands has a huge, unwieldy "Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties", or COP, with a thousand earnest government delegates and anxious non-governmental organizations running down the corridors and demanding the moon, and we're coming up on our 10th, this one set for Changwon, Republic of Korea, 28 October - 4 November 2008. There's no real holiday planning in a COP year, we just grab long weekends whenever we can.
