Review of Les Minutes I've made my first calls using Les Minutes, and just as advertised, they are billed at 3.5 cents/minute.  Sound quality was good, but I think that was because I was calling mobile-to-mobile; I haven't tried calling from my land line yet.  But it is exciting to know that I can talk as long as I want and not really worry about phone charges.  With a 30-minute call costing one dollar, it makes it easy to keep in touch with friends and family. 2:58:40 PM    comment []

Exactly as I expected, when I woke up this morning, I couldn't move my legs.  But it was all worth it: yesterday I played a game of football (yes, it's still USA Week here at Insead) and had a blast.  Four on four, in cold weather... I felt like I was 14 again, playing with high school friends. When I walked on the field, one guy asked, "Do you know the rules?"  I must have given him a really dirty look, and fortunately two seconds later one of my friends told him that I was American.  I went on to score two touchdowns, thanks to one long bomb and one QB sneak.  It was a great time, and one of the other guys told me I should play rugby (Insead has a rugby club); I might even do it, once I get my medical insurance all straightened out...   2:50:00 PM    comment []
