Okay, That Was Fun...

I just discovered a perk about moving to Paris.

This afternoon the doorbell rang and I was greeted by a tired-looking young man. (It's been quite hot and muggy so I'm sure he was exhausted.)

"We're going to be in your area spraying for pests next week. We've noticed some activity in your neighborhood and several of your neighbors have signed up..."

I politely told him, "No, thanks. We're selling our house and moving soon."

He bravely continued, "Well, we have other locations in Washington, Oregon, and California. Where are you moving to?"

"Paris."

The man got a strange look on his face. "Where???"

You're moving to Paris? France???

Not sure why I was surprised by his reaction, but it definitely caught me off guard. "Paris France, in a couple of months."

Suddenly, he no longer seemed tired. "What do you do? Are you in the fashion industry or something? Why are you moving?" He had a bunch of questions and I did my best to answer them. He walked away sort of shaking his head.

I told my wife about the encounter and I have a funny feeling that we'll soon be casually mentioning our upcoming move to just about everyone we meet. Is that vain? Boastful?

Not sure I care...
