    I grew up near LAX. I loved that cool gloom; it nearly always burned off by noon and meant that the end of the school year was on its way.

    Don't worry, Sedulia. The shops in Paris are ablaze with color lately. When you return to Parigi(not soom enough!), a bright LA wardrobe will probably fit right in. and "tongs" (flip-flops) are all the rage... not to mention les baskets.

    Today's quotation

    • In Paris, the purest virtue is the object of the filthiest slander.

        –Honoré Balzac (1799-1850), in Scènes de la vie privée

      À Paris, la vertu la plus pure est l'objet des plus sales calomnies.

    • Annual Geminids meteor shower (shooting stars!) coming this weekend, if it's not too cloudy out at night.
