Day 3

Well because it is a quarter after three and I am tired I am going to list the events of my day in chronological order. Here's to brevity...

First I searched all of Geneva for a softball mit. They do not exist. As a little aside, 23 out of the 25 baseball gloves in the athletic store were for lefties. Considering 7-10 percent of adults and 35 percent of the worlds population are left handed I would say thats kinda weird. I imagined a guy offering a bulk order of gloves for cheap and then when they opened it they were shocked but at the same time didn't care because no one plays baseball in Geneva.

Second I worked from 11-6 and had a great lunch. The CERN cafeteria has been on top of it's game lately.

Third, I started reading American Psycho. I am very excited about this because it will be the first book that I think I have read, other than High Fidelity, before seeing the movie. I can't wait to finish I am only about 50 pages in and it's great.

Next, I went to softball practice. I am on one of the 2 CERN teams the Leptons. The other is called the Quarks. Practice went well and everyone is great. Historically I guess we have faired quite well in the league. Anyhow, I was also invited to a going away potluck picknick on Sunday before our first game.

Then I went to Pic Wicks to watch the soccer match with two of my co-workers from Spain, Carlos and David. Carlos knows a guy at CERN that is going to take us up in his plane over the Alps and then we will land in the Alps to have a coffee ( no big ). Canyoning in Interlaken was mentioned as well.

Last but not least, on the way home I randomly ran into Jamie on the 8 bus from Nations. She had just returned from Paris. So, we walked back to the Knox and then had a 2 hour stroll/conversation. It was great.

So, overall today was great. I can't wait to go to bed though. Tomorrow I will be going to the UN night with Carlos and David. I think there is also a pre-house party Jamie mentioned.

A tout l'heure...

OHH! I almost forgot. Here is the most blatantly offensive ad I have scene in Geneva. It is about some issue regarding immigration etc.

Refusé the colored sheep. Awful.
