I'm following your adventures now, so please no more ridicule of a poor inept x-country skier. That does however explain my inexplicable distaste for x-country skiing. With some luck, I may finally be able to fight through it now that I've been made aware. I look forward to more entries, your stories are both fascinating and entertaining and of course are made exceptionally enjoyable by your marvelous way with words. Best to All, Kevin
Just to set the record straight: it was a different Kevin (Keft, if memory serves) who took first place in the highly-contested boys' race in 1983, and took second to me.
To be grammatically accurate, it was the "boy's race," he won, I guess, since he was the only male entered.
And, to complete the record: I can't imagine Klovelass being bested in any athletic contest, skiis or no skiis, by the likes of me.
But I'm glad to know you've found our loopy catalogue of adventures. Launa
I just turned 40, and I just spent nine months with my husband and two kids in France for reasons that I explain in great detail in this blog.
Now that we're home, we'll see what happens next.
A lot of people ask us how we managed to interrupt our four lives to take this trip. The answer is that we decided we had to, and spent 18 months planning and yanking ourselves out of the terroir in which we were rooted. To Slip out the Back, Jack and Get Yourself Free, at least temporarily, get a copy of the book at the bottom of this page and make your own plan.
So, where've you been since we saw you last?
Aiguines Aix-en-Provence Amherst, Massachusetts Antibes Arles Aups, (most of the time)
Avignon Brooklyn, New York The Camargue Cambridge, Massachusetts Cassis
Chateauneuf The Calanques Cornish/Plainfield, New Hampshire
