Un Petit Pun

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and to make such an obvious error, he replied, “Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.”

(See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else. I’m sharing it here because I figured I had nothing Toulouse).

Her Name is Kate

One of the reasons that we chose ‘Kate’ as a name, besides the obvious concerns of sounding good in both languages and, oh yeah, liking it, was that it has a nickname. Trouble is, I can’t decide how to spell it. Katie, Katy, or Katey? Or something else entirely. I’ve created a poll (and get to use some fancy new Blogger tools) so please vote or leave a comment.
