Back at Stanford. All Right Now.

Bonjour tout le monde,
This past weekend I was back at Stanford for a meeting of class correspondents. One of the things we did during the meeting was come up with  6 word stories; hence the title of this post.  What about your 6 word story?  Try yours on for size in the comment section!
Most of the time when I'm on campus, I am only around the football stadium, the parking lot field, the Band Shak  and alumni building. This time I got to see more of the campus.  Man, there is pretty much an entire new school!  But it's all good. Things have changed so much since I was a student - there is the Engineering Quad right behind the original, the Bing performance hall, plus a beautiful Cantor Museum with the Rodin Garden (ah, the Gates of Hell). But while the outside might continue to change, what doesn't change is the student body and alumni that really make Stanford a special place to be and to be from.  So, my batteries are charged for a little while more, and I continue to be a proud Cardinal.

nothing need be said here, love the perspective

French and Stanford in one post!

Many of you know that La Croque Madame is a Stanford sports nut.  Therefore I was very happy when Stanford beat USC in football 21-14.  People thought that since we no longer had Andrew Luck as our quarterback, that we were done.  But the Cardinal has a new quarterback, Josh Nunes.  He was interviewed on ESPN for a segment that aired this morning.  Besides being a cool quarterback, it turns out that Josh took 3 years of French in high school, and that he was asked a question in French. Josh answered in French; pretty good French, too.
So, French is for diplomats, science geeks AND American football  players.  Ouais!
