American Paragon: The New Home of the Bandol Beat


Greetings friends! I am so excited to return to the world of Blogger.com and my American Paragon persona! Why? Well, because the whole thing was so creatively virile to begin with, so richly inspired, that I could never fully abandon the site without compromising my integrity as a blogger... and then there were the technical problems that came with the move to France which drove me back to a comprehensive web-based blog. For as much as I love my iWeb program, lets face it, traveling is wearisome enough without all the electrical gadgetry. Experience has shown me that the easiest way to blog on the go is to do it from any internet-connected computer and to carry my data on the slick little usb drive that my mom sent me. And now, keeping my admirers up to date will be even easier since the internet finally works at the house in Bandol! Yes, after three months, hundreds of letters, and hours on the phone with customer service (at 35 cents a minute!), we now have working access to the international web of life! I feel like I have been invited back into the 21st century, and let me tell you, it feels great to be here! Also, I've supplied links to my old Mac site as well as my web-based photo album in the column at the right, should you be so inclined.

Life here is good. The weather is perfect all the time, which really does wonders for a girl's mood. And, maybe I'm not such a bad teacher. Or, a bad babysitter, for that matter. More soon! (I swear, really.)
