November 7, 2009

As promised last week, the photo for the week is our sweet potato crop. We didn't get any really large potatoes but we did manage to get a larger number of roots that we thought given the weather. We have found that this size sweet potato works really great in soups since they are usually to small for much else.

Joann had a fun week in Paris as it is her favorite city on the planet and she gets to practice her french. While she had serious work to do while there in explaining the new HR model to the European country managers for Pfizer she did get to enjoy the exquisite use the French make of chocolate in desserts. Also she had a little free time one afternoon that allowed her time to come home with a brand new haircut - sort of a bob - and savor a crepe nutella made on the street. I could go on for pages on the shear joy of a well made crepe nutella but I'll leave it at - if you are ever in Paris buy one. The best we have found are made right on the street, you don't have to find a creperie.

My week by comparison was fairly lame. Besides going to work and doing my usual work stuff. My free time consisted of exercising, eating dinner, ironing my shirts, and doing the crossword puzzle. Not too hard to figure out who is leading the more cosmopolitan lifestyle between us. The coming week will probably consist of more integration activities as Pfizer continues to bring together the people and processes of the two companies.

Other than that we are both looking forward to Thanksgiving, a little time off, and naturally the turkey dinner.
