Last Thursday, a discussion forum on Iraq was conducted by two political heavyweights: Sir John Holmes, the British Ambassador to France, and Dennis Halliday, the former director of the UN Oil-for-Food program.  I've recorded my notes for posterity.

It's been a busy and fun weekend.  I skipped the Brit Week party on Friday, to catch up on my sleep.  Too much going out this week, I am surely going to pay for it later, but there were many good opportunities to spend time with cool people, and you can't really control when that happens... thus my exhaustion.  But I caught up on my sleep, caught up on my reading, and now I'm catching up on my blogging.

This morning I went rock climbing in the Fontainebleau forest.  It is perhaps the best place in the world to go "bouldering", which is climbing close to the ground without a harness or rope.  I went with the Insead Climbing Club, which ended up being 14 people on a cold and cloudy Sunday morning - not bad.  It was well worth it - we had a marvelous time scampering about the rocks together, helping each other out with advice and encouragement.  Sometime after midday, the sun decided to join us, and it was a lovely spring day for a couple hours. 

I tried to climb one route for about an hour, until my hands wouldn't work anymore.  I can barely hold a pen; it's good that I can still type!  I'll go back and work on that route a bit more next week - something to think about in the interim.

Now I'm sitting in the library, with no inclination to do homework.  Perhaps I'll go home and work there. 

Enjoy your weekend!!
