Je Suis Désolé !

English translation? I am sorry! Yesterday's April Fool's ("poisson d'avril" in French) post created an instant firestorm of email replies, text messages, and voice mails. To those of you who instantly picked up on it, good catch. To those who didn't - GOTCHA! To everyone, je suis désolé. I KNOW there will be paybacks and I am sure I will end up French Fried.

As I told my sister Sheila (who is finally speaking to me again after being "misled" by the news), the best part of writing the post was an opportunity to describe my dream job. For a split second, in spite of my devious intentions, it felt like it was really happening - and it felt great! My wife Jackie said to bookmark this post and maybe one day soon we will be sending it out again - and it won't be a prank. Added incentive to pick up the pace and chase more dreams, no matter how distant they may seem. I send that positive wish to each one of you.

Until next time, remember - don't believe everything you read!

- Jeff

Hey, Meagan:
We were planning on taking you with us. With your French language skills, you would be the perfect guide!
Au revoir !
