"This is my proposal tape of sorts; introducing my wife and her son to me. I drove them from Sac. to Berkeley for 2 years (sp?) festival and sang every word of every song to them - simply jammin'. I've always said I can't sing good but when I sing I'm happy."

For all the Danes,
as well as the men of the Scyldings.
it was a heart pain
a shock for the thanes to suffer,
and a grief in the mind of each of the earls, when,
on that sea-cliff, they came upon
AEscher's head.--

The colours in this stained label are sadly faded. A nice image though, showing (as usual) a much grander set of blocks than the box actually contains.
stinky cheese fun--
TROU DU CRU--yes, one has to prouncue that correctly otherwise..you are saying...TROU DU CUE--which means...A-HOLE!
PHOTOS FOLLOW...well of the cheese...yes, ADDA is back to his cheese addiction as well as photo addiction...ok, of TROU DU CRU not TROU DU CUE!
HAVING lots of fun in PARIS==lots of FOUND OBJECTS photo ops--including CESAR in the LUXEMBORG GARDENS...yes, a hunk dressed in a togo as CESAR for his bachelor party. he was a great sport as everyone was taking photos of him.
Though my fav FOUND OBJECT was a piece of blue and white pottery chard found after workers dug up pipes in the LUXEMBORG GARDENS. humm, its nice to think that it came from the destruction of the king's place way way back when.
speaking of destruction, our US dollar to the EURO...omg...what is that FRENCH word you just learned...yes, eating alot at home,,, hence the TROU DU CRU and bagettes, and wonderful fresh veggies!
and of course, one always celebrates destruction...yes, tomorrow, is the GRAND ANNIVERSARY OF THE MAY 1968 STRIKE that crippled PARIS...so, yes, everything will be shut down...we do not plan to venture far from home. as, to get in the spirit, this weekend the busses were on limited or NO run schedules. good time to stay in the neighborhood....which we love, and apparently our upstairs neighbor who purchased her place way back in 1962!
SO, tomorrow is TROU DU CUE day ,,,and we;ll just stay in the neighborhood and have fun...
big hugs...
