A note of explanation: I arrived in Toulouse, France on July 1 for a year-long sabbatical stay. I spent the first 5 weeks on my own, settling into my apartment and learning my way arround. In the second week of August, the rest of my family arrived. My wife, Betty, and youngest daughter, Rachel, will stay the year with me. Betty is also in Psychology and an Associate Dean in the College; Rachel is in the fortunate position of just having graduated from high school, so we offered her an "off year" before college to learn some French and some French culture. My oldest daughter is one year out of college and will visit 2 or 3 times this year, but will live in Lexington and keep my mind at ease because my 2 golden retrievers were left at home. With that, this is the first of several blogs that I created for my family.
