The section of my book entitled “Preparing for Paris” gives you a  LOT of suggestions (flip to page 69 if you have it on your shelf). However, in the 11 years since I wrote that book (and 8 since the Companion Playbook!),  I have come up with a few mor …

My husband is Austrian, not American. He has been here since he was like 20, but English is not his first language. Today at lunch, he mentioned that he’d gotten something done that has been on our List for a long, long time. My response was “Awesome!” …
