Joie de vivre

From the lunchtime plenary speech at my conference in Montreal.

"The future is a foreign country.  Passports are mandatory and the passport is an education grounded in the liberal  arts and sciences."

I like the metaphor.

I also came away from the plenary wishing I could be bilingual.  Is it too late?

I also came away from lunch wondering how I could replicate the layered chocolate mousse cake we were served.  It had a wonderful sweet crispy bottom crust with two layers of lovely chocolate mousse with a vanilla custard cream sandwiched in between.  I guess the conference organizers were celebrating international sandwich day too.
