The Americans Hit Pear-ee

Let's dissect the title: The Americans Hit Pear-ee 

Well, The Americans, probably has something to do with people who come from America.
And, Hit Pear-ee probably means that the people that come out of Americans violently bludgeon the squealing fruit.


Or, it could mean My Oddball Family Arrives At The Beautiful City of Love.

You can choose.

As an entirely different matter from the title, we are going to Paris this week! Actually, we are leaving on Friday, or tomorrow. I've been to Paris once before, we spent a night there, but this time is going to big. Huge, even. Gargantuan.

To match this spacious trip, my mom has deliberately coached us for weeks now in proper etiquette. Parisian children are known for their perfect manners, and to say in a short, tactful way, we can behave like swine. We've been studiously studying, and we've been scholarly scholars for the past few weeks, which give us the possibly apocryphal hope that we might fit in. (click on the definition of "apocryphal" to get my views on the outcome of the hope)

Anyhow, we are ready to hit Pear-ee and, if there is Wi-Fi in the city, I shall endeavor to keep on posting.

Au Revoir!

Exploring 'Round the Netherlands Season 1 Episode 1

When we first started working on the series, I was planning on a half hour or so of fascinating entertainment, but, after much consideration and thought, for the sake of the audience's attention span, I reluctantly agreed to a 22 minute episode.

However, due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to half the content which we would be covering, so I toned down my goal to 15 minutes.

But as the week went by, I realized that I might have trouble of making a 10 minute, video, and I realized that I was actually having trouble making a 5 minute video.

And now, here is the grand premier of our TV show which is a 1:30 minute video!
