Ryan's Annual Wee Epistle

Road trip with Bison+H to Champagne, Chez Philippe Martin (RIP), Reims Cathedral, and for Mass at Chartres in French (hint: it’s the same). Back in Paris visits to friends, breakfast at Bar Suffren, then la Motte Piquet market, lunch at Café du Commerce, dinner at Le Relais de Venise (IA2tF) – have the massive profiteroles (you know why) and Mass at La Madelaine (still the same).        Briefly in the U.S. myself testified to Congress in support of Ukraine afore jetting to Brussels for Friends of Europe “Ukraine:  Costs of Inaction” seminar afore going via Paris to Chisinau to get a car to Odessa to speak at the Black Sea Security Forum. A quick trip to Mykolaiv to see the damage then back to Paris via Moldova for EuroSatory (and Giorgio’s beer at the Belgian stall) and home via NYC allowing an M&G Poconos weekend en route home.
