and here are the things I am currently worried about:

Not being funny in France
Not having enough reading material on the plane*
Nic being frustrated with my incessant questions**
Never in my life finding shoes that are comfortable AND attractive***
Being the potato in the blog title****

*Nic and I have an ongoing argument about real books vs. e-readers. Nic, ever logical, argues that e-readers provide convenience and portability, not to mention expunging the fear of not having enough reading material on flights. BUT. They gots no soul.

**This fear is not specific to France.

***Is there some kind of conspiracy among the manufacturers of athletic shoes to make it a strong possibility that if you wear them, no one will ever sleep with you again, ever?
