Return! and Claude Monet (November 14, 1840 – December 5, 1926) II

                                                         
Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois
1867

Well, hello there readers. It's been a long while since my last update. And I suppose, for those who may be interested, I should explain my extended posting slumber.

To pick up from my previous post, I had begun a new job and moved within New York City, which took up a significant amount of my free time; but then, just a couple of months later, I moved a second time: to Paris. Now, even to this minute, I'm not completely certain why I made that cross-Atlantic move, but, nevertheless, here I am. And here I've spent all this time becoming acclimated to my new home. 

Having achieved some level of comfort in France, I want to attempt to reanimate this site, though I can't promise that it will be very daily in the next, few weeks, as the engine of my habitude has to warm up. 

So, introductions aside, let's late-start this year with my favorite French painter, Claude Monet.
