debate.jpgI'm curious to hear what my fellow international travelers thought about the remarks by presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain during this evening's debate, especially regarding foreign policy and the perception of America in the rest of the world.

Post your thoughts in the comments and let's get a debate of our own going!

Adventures in home buying

P1010351.jpgI've been a bad blogger. This photo shows why -- I'm buying a house. And as anyone who has bought a house knows, it's a time-consuming process.

You have to set up your mortgage and insurance, get a home inspection, weed out years of accumulated junk, arrange for utility transfers and address changes.

I'm all for new adventures, but I must say this is among my scariest adventures to date.

We're talking a statue of Michael Jackson and Bubbles near Louis the XIV. Some kind of oversized sculpted animal in the gardens.

Some folks say it's a good sign -- that the traditional bastions of French culture are loosening up. Others were so outraged they staged a protest. Check out the story here and post a comment -- what do you think of our York County native's latest?
