Eitan at mile 19

Eitan runs his first marathon in Paris in April, opening the summer in style with a 2:56 effort. An Orenstein has finally broken three hours and I can go to my grave in peace.

Eitan informs that the last several miles of the race was hard-going but he persevered across the worst of it. Sonnet and I catch him at several points along the route rewarded with a small wave and a big smile. From here to here.

Sonnet and I arrive in Paris in time to meet Eitan and his wonderful friend Fleur for the pre-marathon carbo-heavy dinner and to see the David Hockney paintings at the FLV in Bois de Boulogne. We visit Guy and Jeanine in the 7e joined by Marshall and Veronique who is a trustee of the Centre Pompidou and on the acquisitions committee.

In real time, Sonnet proof reads her book on Elsa Schiaparelli that will accompany the 2026 exhibition; Eitan continues his work at Legal Aid and prepares for interviews with law firms; Madeleine works for October Films researching serial killers and other compelling subject matter.
