I love it when teens challenge you to play video games with their triumphant look that says, "I dare you. You're so old anyway it's not like you'll win." But it seems teens today have forgotten something, namely that video games STARTED WITH MY GENERATION. Technically, there was Pong even before us... You're a sore loser13 year-old Tetris boyShow some Game-boy respect

I teach business English to French adults a couple days a week and translating from French often leads to hilarious results... I explain over and over again that it's better to learn the words in English, then think in English, rather than going from French to English in their heads. One of my clients was having what we call a "translation day" we can result in sentences like, "I have hurt in supporting people like that" or even worse, a misuse of sexual terms:Stop French to EnglishNo market penetrationBusiness fiasco

I'm back
Actually I've been back for a week, but I'm basically French now so I was extending my vacation without knowing it.... but I am back in France, where it is unusually cold and rainy for September, which totally blows chunks after a month in Thailand. And of course, no return to France could be complete without a crazy chick on the train:My first morning back on the RER, this very strange woman sat next to me. She kept changing seats while singing to herself and sucking on some sort of candy that reminded me of that Bazooka chewing gum in a tube. Eww. She was in her 50's and had so much plastic surgery that she looked not unlike a cat...Crazy Train Woman
