It all started with a bit of cheese after dinner at a friend's house . . . and the next thing you know I'm spreading #2 on a list of the world's stinkiest cheeses on my toast for breakfast--and loving it. What's happening to me?!?!?!

A sermon on a mount
I preached for the first time in French on September 22, at a "teens & twentysomethings" retreat in the Belledonnes Mountains near Le Collet d'Allevard, elevation ~ 6,000 feet. Amazing!

Institut Suzuki de Lyon
Since our French school didn't reopen in September (the campus located in our town was shut down), we've been pursuing our French studies through different means. For example, Sophia travels once a week to Lyon for a two-hour Suzuki violin lesson. Lyon is a beautiful city, and the Suzuki Insitute is right on the Rhône!

The 100th Tour de France
The 100th Tour de France passed through Albertville, where Sophia was taking an intensive oral French class in July, so we packed a picnic and and waited for the peloton to pass by. We waited for about three hours and the cyclists passed us in about 30 seconds. Next time we'll catch it on T.V.
If you look carefully, and you don't blink, you might see Chris Froome, the fellow wearing the yellow jersey.
Mont Granier at sunset
At 6,342 feet, Mont Granier is the tallest mountain near our city. This is the view from our apartment at sunset.
Two men with strong opinions about pizza
Compromise is not always the best policy in the kitchen, but in this case the results were delicious. We had a great time concocting a bacon, mushroom, chorizo, mozzarella and bleu cheese pizza for our friends' farewell party.
