hold that flight, I want to get on!

Okay. Enough. Really, I have had enough. It’s freezing here. In Paris, it’s in the forties. People are sitting in cafés and enjoying their espressos outdoors (with the help of heat lamps). I’m outta here. Next post: from Paris.

[I’m en route today, will be in France tomorrow, for many delicious days. Fine. One day of very hard work there -- I can handle that, especially since much of it will be conducted in the French way: over fine food and wine. The other days -- well, there's France out there. In the forties. With outdoor cafés. And winter landscapes. And good French people, going about their business, doing their thing, cooking their foods, growing their grapes...]

    I'm jealous.

  5. sara: you green eyed monster, you!

    athenius: are you sexy? are you rich? no? jeez, you ask for a lot.

    belle: I can't wait to see what I see too.

    brando: a deal: your adoring readership for a month in exchange for a bunch of frequent flyer miles that'll get you to the other side of the ocean. I knew it! You're hooked on your fans, you are!

    I am at O'Hare. There is a snowstorm. I am taking photos of snow ploughs except you can't see them because there is a white-out. Please, Paris is so close yet so far! Don't slip out of my grasp now!

    But of course, completely thrilled for you, as we are supposed to get 10" of snow tonight here in Chicago. Enjoy your time in Paris and eat many, many lovely pastries for me!
