I'll be in Europe, first giving a paper in the Netherlands during a medical education conference June 22-27, then travelling in S. France then Paris then back to the states June 28-July 12 (we'll visit the caves at Lascaux and nearby with Cro-Magnon art, plus a few caves at Roquefort -yum- thrown in) enjoying birdwatching, vin rouge (helps the birdwatching tremendously, I understand), and finally getting a 10-months late honeymoon (there are times graduate school makes life difficult, mais oui). Is there anyone out there, or do any of you dear readers know of anyone out there, in 1) Maastricht (we'll be at the Novotel), 2) Amsterdam (staying with friends), 3) near Lascaux/Dordogne - Aveyron general region (we'll be staying about 2 hours E of the famous Lascaux caves, near Rodez at Chateau St. Saturnin), or 4) in Paris (we'll be staying in the first arondissement at a Timhotel) with fuzzies we could visit we'd love to see some European ferrets.

You may substitute tongue. And for our non-American readers, that's yet another idiom meaning something like "sarcastic in an amusing way", but that's another story. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1603]
