In a nod to a kind of faint veil of family privacy, here on this very public backwater of the Internet I will not say the name of the city we are moving to and leave it at that.
We are back and forth now to our new city, preparing our apartment, talking, walking, and having coffees, before catching an evening train home. And though clerkmanifesto will surely be evolving as much into a blog about this lovely city as it once was about the Roseville Library (also unnamed until very late in the game!), I wish to start with this small observation:
This city, the largest city of its region of France, is as yet smaller than where we have come from in the less famous city of Saint Minneapolis. And yet, so far, I have found it to be a bigger city than any I have ever seen in all of the United States.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
