She's here! She's here!

Well, it was a few weeks ago, and "here" was Paris at the time, but I was pretty excited that after 6 weeks apart, Katy arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport on Dec 13th. We had planned to vacation together in Italy after my class, but by an amazing stroke of luck and fortunate timing, she and her company won a bid for a research project in Europe that would require a researcher in Paris and Milan starting just a week after the end of my classes!

Boo-ya!

So now I have to thank her company, Cheskin, for bringin' my baby back to me.

"Thank you, Cheskin!"

I do have a question for the airport authorities at CDG, though. Looking at this warning sign to the left of the passenger exit from customs, I have to wonder...what the heck is a person if they're not a "physical person"?

And with all of the hoopla in the US of A about Illegal Immigrants, why is it either (a) a problem to be a "legal person" or (b) 10 times as expensive a fine if you're a "legal person" versus a "physical person"?

Arunh?

Whatever. The girl's here. I'm happy.
