coconuts of change

Seeds of change sound too tiny; we're in the seas of change but somehow the coconuts of change sounded better.

Since I last wrote on July 1st, we have visited Poland for a conference, packed up and left England; spent two days in France; a week in Seattle for a wedding and to catch up with great friends we'd been missing; back to France for a week; then DC for five weeks, and now here we are in France again.

Still we've managed to open bank accounts in the US and France that are linked, we've stayed under some form of medical insurance the whole time, and are working our way into the French system...

We have no home - we wander from family's to friends' places. We have only our trusted suitcases that have been with us 9 weeks now. And in the mean time I have started a (great) new job, have just starting working remotely (1pm-9pm shift to match east coast business hours pretty closely), we're looking for a region to settle in, a home to buy, and... a little one will be coming to enlarge the size of our family (ETA first week in Feb). Ha, some call us insane, but we know better: we've seen good friends successfully juggle house hunting, a newborn, job changes, building a new office space and doing massive wall-demolishing type house renovations.

so that's it for now. I haven't done much reading recently that itsn' work related, but if you're interested in the gender digital divide or women's rights; let me know.
