March came in like a lamb this year, which was a refreshing change from winter-y February. I spent a lot of this month dealing with Rain. The rain started falling in place of snow in the middle of the month (Hello Spring!) and I had to deal with it (and wind) while walking around Paris.

The highlight of the month was the (less than a) week that Pauline and I spent in Paris. I had visited previously but this was Pauline’s first time. We visited a bunch of places, did a lot of stuff, and I am continuing to blog about it.

In addition to the vacation expenditure, I spent a lot of money on other stuff. We made a trip to Buffalo and bought various Wedding-related things, I bought a tuxedo, and paid (received delivery finally) for our wedding invitations (which is really only half the battle since I still had to assemble, label, and mail them). I also bought an iPod Shuffle, went to the TSO and went to a couple of parties.

The big news this month was former NY Attorney General and now former Governor Eliot Spitzer being caught soliciting a prostitute, JPMorganChase buying a near-bankrupt Bear Stearns for $2/share with foreshadowing of further US financial market collapses, and the civil unrest in Tibet.
