So greetings, bonjour, from the highest speed internet on the planet (not counting Japan), Thalys.  Pre due diligence letter sent, 1st draft, and the Cologne contingent is about to descend upon at gare du nord.  (dvx loves purple prose.)

if the reservation from 6 weeks ago at passy home is also ok, despite no confirmation, then we're set to rock.

both dvx and i took advantage of Thalys hospitality to work, as well as eat and drink.  Pas auf Paris!
