EPISODE DELAYED BY SNOW OF ALL THINGS

As I you will hear at the beginning of this week's episode, my family and I just spent a week at a farmhouse in Auvergne. Mostly it was a much needed vacation, but the site was strategically picked to be near Chavaniac-Lafayette, aka Lafayette's birthplace and childhood home. Trip was great! We should be back in Paris right now, but unfortunately a major snowstorm swept through AND our rental car broke down barely 15 minutes into our return trip. So I am writing this from a lovely little hotel in Mazet-Saint-Voy where we are stranded for at least a day, possibly two. Buried under like 2 feet of snow and a busted car. Episode 9.11 is recorded and ready to post, but my lack of real WiFi is preventing me from uploading it. I will try again tonight, but at this point...it'll post when it posts. 

Je suis desolé!
