How forward-looking!<br /><br />We have bookshelves in the living room, the dining room, the family room, the offices, the bedrooms, and the <i>garden shed</i>. There are piles of books or papers on every flat surface, and more piles of books on the floors in front of the bookcases. Periodically I box up three or four cartons of the things and donate them to the local library to shelve or sell, as they please. It stems the tide for a little while, but I swear the books breed in the night. Or maybe it's those late nights, when I can't sleep, and I visit amazon.com...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-5975809741528571792011-06-28T07:38:04.761-07:002011-06-28T07:38:04.761-07:00Thanks MathMom!!!

I love this =) I'm getting to the point that we are filling up our bookshelves and I'm ready to get rid of lots of books. Michael is not. Since we have the room, we'll probably keep the books for now...<br /><br />I know you do not draw for the WSJ, especially for their opinion pages, but I was just flipping around and happened to see the illustration for this piece:<br />http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304447804576411740143493006.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_MIDDLETopOpinion<br /><br /><br />It reminded me very strongly of your book...

I'd start with the best intentions of picking everything up and putting it all away.<br /><br />And then I would find a book. And that would be the end of cleaning for the day. Because I was (and still am, mostly) unable to resist the lure of the written word. It still happens sometimes. I'll start to do cleaning and, before you know it, there I am in a comfortable chair or in bed, reading happily away.littlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-34520499855882923002011-06-26T09:25:36.840-07:002011-06-26T09:25:36.840-07:00Hey Chris!!!

However, I've written a number of posts about living in Switzerland. <a href="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/search/label/Switzerland" rel="nofollow">here</a>'s my set of Switzerland posts. I might be interested in writing more posts about living in Switzerland for your site. Email me: <i>chanson dot exmormon at gmail dot com</i><br /><br />Also, some other American friends of mine living in the Geneva area write some photo blogs with a lot of photos of Switzerland, see <a href="http://mayaphotography.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://fstops-here.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.C.

Now THAT was an interesting time!! :-))<br /><br />For the past few days, friends and I have been putting together a site with useful info aimed at Americans in Switzerland. The idea came up when a few other fellow Americans (and one Swiss) and I went out for drinks We've since written articles and look to compile lots of info so that we can feel more at home here in this wonderful country (more articles to be posted next week). The articles can be found at http://www.expatsinswitzerland.com/<br /><br />Also, there's a blog section where we will be blogging about our experience in adjusting to the Swiss life style - and of course to digest all the beauty we are experiencing here. If you're interested in starting a blog, please hit me up. We're looking to have a few more regular bloggers.<br /><br />Would you mind linking to our site? Also, any input/comments are highly welcomed! <br /><br />Have a great Sunday!<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146574352905079323noreply@blogger.com
