Sarkozy discovers the charms of New Hampshire lakes

Life is weird. Chris and I were just talking about how things could have turned out. Many years ago we looked at a summer cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. It would have been a vacation dream house, very old fashioned with a stone fireplace, two acres, right on the lake, a boathouse - and even a tennis court - way too expensive - even then. And, I said, but just think, if we had been able to afford living there - we may never have gotten to France. So, now it turns out that France’s president and his wife Cecilia are spending their summer vacation swimming in Lake Winnipesauskee. The world is small. I hope they’re having fun.

Enjoy your summer vacation, President Sarkozy. You couldn’t have picked a prettier lake - well, maybe one of the New York finger lakes, come to think of it.
