I’ve been idle. That’s not entirely true; I’ve been running lots of miles for my big race this Sunday. But other than that I’ve basically been freaking out about Paris apartments, watching TV and surfing the Internet for things I don’t need and can’t afford. I feel kind of like...
I’m having an expat moment. While in Paris, I anticipate eating. A lot. So I’ve spent the last 10 minutes looking at gym options in the greater Paris area. I know that Parisians (and most Europeans) are not as crazed about the health kick, workoutaholic mentality that many Americans are,...

I realized that I never posted the most recent issue of WOOF. But I will be leaving the staff, passing along my little creation to the next generation of talented journalists. In all honesty, IÂ never anticipated how much work the magazine would be, and as such I have so much...
