What the world needs now…

I’m sitting here eating my way through a baguette and drinking my way through a bottle of a very fine Bourgogne and as I stare at my little computer screen I’m thinking that ‘What the world really needs is more pixels’. If the world were composed of more pixels then everything wouldn’t look so blurry to me. Or I could just suck it up and get glasses I guess. Listening to Ray Charles – Genius Loves Company. Not the best of reviews but I like the duets. Did you all have a good Valentine’s Day? Here it's all about the chocolate. And do the French love their chocolate. I, personally, have never been real big on chocolate but these people have chocolate in and on almost anything. The chocolate store in the 'mall' looked very tempting, I have to admit. Quite the Valentines display in there. I dropped S at the airport this morning; he's in Seville for another week. But the good news is that next week we're off to the U.S. for two weeks. S to St. Louis for work and me to Sycamore house to asses the damage...I mean to visit with J. Since word leaked I've been getting loads of IM's about plans and stuff to mark on my calendar. I can't wait to see J and spend some time with her and to see the Ya-ya's and catch up with them. I started a Blog this morning that was supposed to be my periodic book review blog, but I've read so many stinkin books since my last book review blog that I'm having to choose what to write about. So hopefully I'll get that up in the next few days. Meanwhile here in France I'm trying to get the landlord to fix the radiator unit. The water heater portion has a small leak that I fear if left unattended it will be quite a lake when we return from the states. Of course the next two weeks are vacation time in France. The kids are out of school and everyone is going skiing, consequently I cannot get a return call from the man. The French and their multitude of holidays! We are participating in the French census. I don't know how often a census is done but we got lucky this year. I tried to get out of it, but the man would not accept any excuse I threw at him. So tomorrow afternoon he will be by to review and pick up our completed forms. They weren't too hard to fill out, but there was alot to translate. That's all I have for you today. We're firming up summer plans and the summer looks full. I'm even planning a solo trip to Cork, Ireland around the first of August to visit with Mags and her parents. That should be quite a cultural experience. Love to all and Happy V day.
