What I'm not reading:
One of my mentors, a former state department employee herself, is reading a tell-all book by Julia Child, the French Chef,1912-2004. Turns out Child was in the OSS during the war. She learned to cook while posted to various embassies in sundry war zones.
Sounds worth a read. A little old lady from Pasadena, Child attended Smith,and was recruited into the OSS, which was heavily ivy league. She was posted to DC Sri Lanka and China,and then lived in Paris with her husband, attended Cordon Bleu, opened her own cooking school, L'ecole de Trois Gourmandes,and wrote the Art of French Cooking, which was like a bible to my mother, who was born outside Paris to American parents.
Meanwhile judging from the traffic noises the Colts won and are headed to the Superbowl.
