C'Est La Vie

Left Monterey on Saturday. Arrived in Paris early Sunday. Driven to the Somme Cemetery Monday. Job-interviewed and lunched on Tuesday. Flew back home via L.A. Wednesday. Recovered on Thursday. Back to work on Friday. Disappointed on Saturday. Didn't get the job, but spent three nights in Paris at government expense. C'est la vie.

Was bummed out a bit about it Saturday, but there are some other openings coming up. Heard they might create a new position at Omaha Beach in Normandy--that would be much closer to my wife's parent's home than the Lorraine.
