Welcome!

We are pleased to announce the sorta kinda official start to our Beirut adventure, complete with blog documentation. However, we moved out of our permanent housing over a month ago and have been numerous places since, so we should say the adventure is well underway. Like the daily adventure of: naming the town you are waking up in, finding the keys to that borrowed car, and mentally retracing your steps to your child's favorite pair of socks. Hemingway said Paris was a moveable feast, but he never lived with the Essex's . . .

  3. Hi Susan,
    Blog me in, a clever way to keep in touch.
    We had Hemingway over the other day. What a grump, not one to hunt for children's socks. Quite the opposite.

    Wasn't it he who said the best thing he wrote was a six-word piece; 'For sale, baby's shoes. Never worn'?

    So when he did have children's apparel, he'd sell it. For booze, probably.

    XXX to all, I'm off to pour myself a whiskey chilled with ice cubes made from Elsa and Rosa's tears. Damn it.

  6. Thanks for updating us on your adventures! I thought you would end up in England! Beirut!! What a change. I have heard that it is beautiful. Since we were last in touch, we have had an exciting change too and are now in Crested Butte for the year. It is great to be back in the mountains. Keep in touch. Robin, Fred, Graham and Brice
