Jack 'n Stiches

17-08-07_1241.jpg
Well, we were sitting around wondering what to do today, when Jack screamed and settled the question: Good Samaritain Hospital and 2 stiches! Jack gets into all kinds of trouble trying to keep up with Michael, and is no stranger to urgent care, but these were his first two stiches. The bandana was an hour long numbing ploy, so we joined the white coats for an outdoor lunch - today's cafeteria special: mixed grill with ratatouille and tomato soup. Delicious.

The boys ran around the heliport pad and a surprising Japanese strolling garden, complete with maples and an elevated, winding path (public gardens mostly follow the formal symmetry of English designs). After Jack's stiches, we went on to the Lausanne Salvation Army where Carolyn found a nifty car booster seat - 8 francs!

Later, using Skype to get Applecare's walk through tech support, I transfered the phone photos via bluetooth to the Mac, drifting momentarily into geek territory. Incidentally, ORANGE phone service is excellent - top models are free, no activation fee, monthlys are competitive with US prices, with satellite rather than tower-based signals. I also got my first parking ticket.

Today's mix of minor victories and falls.
