oh, and I forgot to add that besides one small incidence of projectile vomiting, the entire à Paris household could not be more lovely. The Puke à Paris diary will have to wait for another day. Or perhaps for the release of the tell-all book...

Re: Images now posted (4.00 / 3)

normally excellent guesses, but neither one. although i have my suspicions, it remains to be seen if jerome is a sadist. it was the tyrrany of technology - my son called on the cell phone; thoughtless child that he is.

Well, this is a tragedy. I am not only going to miss meeting the star of some blockquoted movie, but also a furore of footwear.

Byzantine travel arrangements, burning tunnels and clients running amok in my office shouting "Yesterday! Yesterday!" have conspired to prevent my participation.

I'm so envious of you being in Paris, let alone chez Paris.

One of the most surprising things for me was getting off the plane, following the signs that said Non-EU passengers, and suddenly being outside. I almost tried to turn around and get back in the building. That was '02 so it may have changed.

Enjoy yourself, I'm going on vacation to Indiana, heh.

Jerome mentioned that you charmed his kids. Does that mean you speak French or do the scions of Paris speak English?

by MarekNYC on Thu Sep 18th, 2008 at 01:00:47 PM EST

Kids can be charmed even if you don't speak the same language. I managed to win over afew's grandchildren.

by MarekNYC on Thu Sep 18th, 2008 at 01:41:32 PM EST

Heh. Once again, two good guesses, but neither. The children are charmed by having a seemingly grown person in their midst who can only speak two words. They're trying to teach me things, but we've mostly been making faces, signs, and giggling at my horrid pronunciation. The youngest in turn has charmed me forever by liking my singing - a first!

Good job Jerome! Sleep deprivation until she writes something. You don't fool around do you?

Once she gets back to the states we'll have to put someone in charge of that.
