1. Make the most of it. We won’t be back the next time you’re overrun. You’re on your own as far as the Yanks are concerned.

2. Well, maybe the Canadians might come around, if they can work out a way to get there. And the Brits might, out of habit— they’re convieniently located, and they have the upkeep on those lovely villas in the South of France to think about.

3. Love the recipe books, by the way.

It’s been real,
