Hi everyone (or no one!!)
To spice things up a little bit, I thought of a little contest. All of you out there (or no one again…), you know that I am half American and half French. You also know that if asked if I feel more American or more French, I will always answer with a question “who do you prefer, your mom or your dad?”. Well, I think it’s time to pick sides!! Who is more generous : French People or American People?
To this date (August 27th), it is a tide. My French and American friends have given equally to this great Team for Kids cause. Out of fairness, I took out my parents :-)
So what I propose is as follows – battle in the Atlantic : France vs. US. No head banging allowed. No lobbies permitted. No baguette, no burger - just pure one on one, mano a mano (wait, wrong language!)
The individual in each country donating the most will receive a Godiva basket worth $150. you know you really want it, so make it HAPPEN! Highest donation so far has been $100…”bring it on” would say Kirsten Dunst in that popular american chick flick. "tu tires ou tu pointes?" would say Pagnol...
The game is ON!!
Deadline – final date to submit donations is September 15th 6PM (midnight in France).
Side line – check out this running blog – great insight into how we runners (yup, I said it, I AM A RUNNER) get into this. It’s all a drug if you ask me…those endorphines are AMAZING

Let the fun begin :-)
Cheers,
Pour mes petits amis francais.
Mega compet' entre les US et la France. Quel est le pays le plus genereux entre les deux. Pour le moment, egalite. L'individu qui donnera le plus gagnera un panier Godiva a valeur de $150 (ou son equivalent en Euro). Vous savez jusqu'au 15 septembre minuit pour donner.
Que le meilleur gagne!!
