		<title>Portugal, Provence, Printing, and Planning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are back in the US.  You might not have known since we fell off the face of the blogosphere almost two months ago, but we have hardly fallen off the face of the earth.  Since writing on the World Cup: Seth and I went to Porto, Portugal, where I was supposed to present at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avoiding the World Cup in Switzerland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;is difficult to do. For weeks, we have been sealing the windows against buzzing plastic vuvuzelas and honking car processions.  The park behind our building has become a center of World Cup noise&#8212;boy, do kids loving blowing on those horns.  It was bad the night Switzerland beat Spain. Also, in our town of Balkan, Portugese, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raining Strawberries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are not many fruits you can go pick yourself in this country.  The one widespread fruit-picking availability is strawberries, not apples like it is in the northeastern US.  Thus, even though we&#8217;ve been getting plenty of strawberries and cherries the last few weeks from our CSA, Adar and I decided we had to go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Concert in the Campagne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week, tomorrow to Sunday, I&#8217;ll be performing in 5 concerts at the Theatre du Jorat in Mézières, a little country village about 15 minutes&#8217; drive northeast of Lausanne.  Here is a link with info about our concert,  Choral Attitude.  The theater is in a gorgeously renovated, wooden barn.  If it was a bit easier [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Memorial Day here&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We got Pentecost last weekend, instead.  However, it is window-washing season. And in Estavayer-le-Lac, a lovely medieval town on the banks of Lac Neuchatel, things were looking a little froggy this weekend. It took me a year of living in Switzerland before I found out from a fellow chorister munching away on a carac during [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer in CH=Wine, Bikes, Lakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Switzerland is mainly known for its wintry sports scene, of which we sort of take part by snowshoeing and once-yearly terrified sliding down mountains, but wow, is summer amazing.  The sun just started to shine, our CSA provided us with a kilo of delicious strawberries last week, the public pools are open, the 2009 wine [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wherein I create a Wikipedia page to try to make the world a better place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a storefront that I often pass in Renens with a big picture of a pumpkin labeled &#8220;ludothèque.&#8221; I never gave it much thought, though I guess I would have concluded it was just a store that had closed down some past Halloween. (Jackie thought it was a daycare with a pumpkin theme). Not so! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Judt on Switzerland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the May issue of the New York Review of Books, Tony Judt writes his thoughts on Switzerland. Read the article here. I just returned to Switzerland from a week and a half in the United States. Returning to the US was a re-experience of the reverse culture shock of last summer. I got lost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easily missed miscellaneous photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You probably know about Jackie&#8217;s Flickr page, where we post all of our photos. If you haven&#8217;t been there recently, check out a few sets we&#8217;ve added: Engagement Scotland Leukerbad (and remember, despite appearances, we&#8217;re not on a permanent vacation!) Usually, these are taken with Jackie&#8217;s nice, big digital SLR camera. But sometimes they&#8217;re taken [...]]]></description>

		<title>Major (minor) victories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jackie is in the U.S. this week, and she says people ask about our life in Switzerland, imagining that we&#8217;re on some sort of permanent vacation / honeymoon / fun study abroad experience. They&#8217;re clearly not reading our blog, or they&#8217;re skipping the posts about laundry. We&#8217;ve had some minor victories recently&#8212;major in the context [...]]]></description>
