LIFE IN KURTISTAN: August 2009

Ravenchase, in the NYT! The company that I used to work for, Ravenchase Adventures, just had an article published about them in the New York Times. It focuses on the trouble that such a company would have in this economic climate, but has an overall positive tone. I have a certain, extra measure of pride in this because, before I left the company, I was put in touch with the reporter who I in turn put in touch with the company president. It's like I'm almost famous! Slides 24-29 on building a strong team.

Never in America, or, The French and Taxes. As part of the economic stimulus package that the French government has put in place in the wake of the global recession, part of it was the reduction of the VAT (a sales tax, almost) from 19.6% to 5.5% for restaurants. Naturally, most restaurateurs. Were ecstatic and went to the trouble of printing up new menus with the "Before" and "After" price. Not bad marketing all things considered, consumers like to know how much they're saving. Just like home, right?

LIFE IN KURTISTAN: Apartment sought, apartment found
http://kmuehmel.blogspot.com/2010/07/apartment-sought-apartment-found.html
Apartment sought, apartment found. Following about six weeks of searching and four visits, we've found a new apartment! It's the first time that we've gone through this process and from what everyone tells us, we got off easy. That said, the quantity of documentation required to rent an apartment in France is worthy of its own post (to be written shortly). On Friday afternoon, and us signing for it on Monday evening. Naturally, pictures will follow as soon as I have the chance to take some!

I got old, and I noticed the moment when it happened. It's when, all of a sudden, there is a practice which is common among the youth of the day, that you find completely incomprehensible. Reading a NY Times. Article a few weeks ago about teens and Twitter (by the way, do you all know that I tweet. They mentioned the case of Kristen Nagy, 18, to illustrate the case of a teen who sends a lot of text messages, but doesn't use Twitter. How much does she text? 500 texts per day? And that's it, now I'm old...

For over a month, this poster has been plastered all over the Paris metro:. Needless to say, it was pretty unsettling to see that every morning, especially when the review blurb on the right-hand poster reads "We love to hate Esther." Hey, that's my wife you're talking about! Thankfully, they're now all but gone, only a few stragglers remain, waiting to be covered by a poster for Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. Thanksgiving in Michigan 2009. Normandy - December 2009. Day Trip to Strasbourg.

Because One isn't Enough. It’s focus is different, though, it’s a blog about energy in general and renewable energy specifically. I’ve been reading so much about the subject lately and having so many thoughts that I wanted to share that it seemed a shame to not put it up in a public forum. The truth is, I see my future in renewable energy and I just can’t keep myself away from it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Because One isnt Enough. 169; 2009 Kurt Muehmel.
