@dolmansaxlil We’ll be on the Rhône, Lyon to Arles. We’ve never done a river cruise before. I taught knitting on an Alaska cruise a few years ago and took Mr. AM with me; he loved it! So he wanted to try a river cruise.

Cruises are like floating hotels; you don’t have to pack/unpack as you make your way on your journey. We like that.

Glad you’re both okay. Maybe time to have a chat about driving.

@dolmansaxlil AMA Waterways. Supposed to be nicer than Viking, per the person who organized a cruise teaching gig for me. She’s used to nice things. And our travel agent really likes them, too.

We’re using a travel agent because we wanted to support her husband, who we know from Mr.
AM’s previous work life.

I bought a used iPhone 14 Pro last year? year before? because it was the last model before ai was being crammed down our throats, and it has 3 camera lenses for 3x optical zoom. It’s heavy. But I like it. Battery life was at 89% when I bought it, but it hasn’t been terrible. I bought it on Amazon.

This is great. And she’s happy, which is probably the most important part.

Well, it’s already booked for fall, so I hope it happens in a reasonable way!

Congratulations, Jon!

@Rontuner Have you visited the Raqib Shaw Paradise Lost exhibit at the Art Institute? It’s stunning.

I agree, your neighborhood is fanastic for culture and recreation.

Gender-affirming care!

Oops.

Allons enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé!

And I love La Vie en Rose. I always sing it as “tu” rather than “il”. More personal!

@Axtremus I’d do that, too

@AndyD I think it has to do with how hot you heat the milk for the latte.

The counterperson in NYC didn’t want to admit she didn’t know what tepid was, so she kept saying, “short nonfat latte?” and I kept saying “short tepid nonfat latte.” I finally gave up and said, “not too hot.”
