Went out last night - me, DH, lawyer friend, lawyer friend's partner for all you can eat Korean barbeque with the grill at the center of the table and the ring of 11 small dishes around it, 3 of them kimchees. It was meat, meat, meat, wrapped by lettuce.

Lawyer friend feels like he has a big target on his back at work. I'm going to miss him if he goes.

It capped a heavy eating and drinking weekend - wine on Friday, beer on Saturday, and beer on Monday. Yeah, its not that much, but when you rarely drink it feels like a lot.

Picked up my own map of Paris from Metzgers Maps at the Pike Market. I'd use DH's but I'd like my own. It feels a little like the spending has already begun.

Working through more of the problems with the logging songs and mixes for DJ friend. Now I have to convert decimal time (3008.987 seconds) into time time (50 min : 8 sec) and get it into Access correctly. I'm learning a lot!

FYI - the april fool blog colors made me reach for my visine. Yipes!

Last night DH and I hit a nice quiet bar, grabbed a table, ordered beers and food, spread out the maps of Paris, and pored over our books. It turns out that the hotel is in the 1st Arrondissement, an underhand toss away from the Palais Royal, three blocks away from the Louvre. I can immediately pick out where we're staying from pretty much any Paris map - part of the preparation. DH and MIL have been to Paris several times, so I'm the person who gets to pick what to do. Such pressure!

Tried out a freeware program for my PDA - Metro. It's a database of public transit systems of most of the major cities of the world - Paris had several databases.

Bought a well-reviewed digital camera from overstock.com, cheap because it was factory refurbished. I've had good luck with them, but I did manage to get it in time to try it out and learn it.

Scanned our passports and put the jpg file in the password protected USB flash drive. Tried out the money belt - nice and comfy. Started with packing the airport bag already. Yeah, six weeks out, but c'mon, its no fun packing the midnight before for me. It's just a recipe for forgetting something.
