Very Proud of My Wife

[j44ke]

She's the better half by a long stretch.

ICC is pleased to announce that Claudia T. Salomon has been recommended for election as President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration with effect from 1 July 2021 putting her on a path to becoming the first woman President of the ICC Court in its almost 100-year history.

Congratulations to your wife. Like you and others I certainly “ married up” and try to remember it everyday.

a long time ago after meeting my wife Charles Pelkey told me I am a charter member of the Society for Ignorant Primitives. Congrats to you all. Quite an achievement. My life is much better because of my wide as I imagine yours is also.

I met her when she was just starting her first year as a lawyer. Our first date was interrupted by a trip to Macy's so she could buy pantyhose for a trial the next day. Then we went to dinner afterwards. Pretty much set the pattern for a lot of things during our marriage. Many late night dinners. Many interruptions. Early on I recognized my role was to maintain a stable landing pad. And to pack my bags when the opportunity arose. So it has been great and I anticipate this isn't the culmination of her efforts, just the beginning of the good stuff. Things worth staying healthy for!

[pomole]

Holy mackerel. Thats some great news. Well done!

Congratulations to both of you. I’m sure she puts in more than enough deserving work but a stable landing pad can make a big difference.

Wow! Well done!

People succeed in large part because of the ways that their communities support and join them. Nice work in helping to make this major achievement happen in your spouse's career.

Does this mean you'll be in Paris full time, or is it simply a bit of back and forth?

[Ras72]

Sometimes it takes a village. Even it's a village of two. Congrats to you both!

[Matthew Strongin]

Wow! Fantastic news, Jorn. Beyond impressive.

[ides1056]

That's badass. Bigtime.

[j44ke]

Thanks all.

I think the latter. She will have to spend a lot of time in Paris once immunological protocols are relaxed - or a vaccine is developed - so we've started poking around on the grapevine for an apartment to rent. I will probably need to go periodically, just so I don't end up in a bear skin and a loin cloth while clubbing and eating chipmunks raw. I de-civilize quickly.

But her position doesn't officially start until July so we - and the scientists of the world - have a bit of time to figure things out.

Congratulations. So is it time for a "Thinking about an apartment in Paris" thread? I think your country retreat and Paris apartment would be an acceptable combination. Wouldn't suck totally.

[Corso]

Fantastic!
You both have a right to be very proud!
Congratulations indeed!

Hmmm,
If you need someone to stay in your woodland retreat while your in Paris...

[Colinmclelland]

Or your Paris apartment while you are in your country retreat....

[htwoopup]

Wow. Very very impressive. Super happy for you folks.

[robin3mj]

Congrats John and CTS!
Would be interesting to be on the other side of a dinner party debate with you two.
And by that I mean daunting!

And my in-laws’ place in the Dordogne is kind of on the market. Happy to connect you for a rent-to-buy if you’d like.
