Tonight, while Ariel was flossing, she paused, looked up in thought, and then asked:
"Do you suppose the Queen of England owns sweatpants?"
Well, what do you neglected readers think?

The Davises Have Landed
Ariel's parents are in town! Huzzah!!
They arrived safely this morning after a loooooooooooooong trip that, in addition to the normal, hellish 7-8 hour flight across the Atlantic, included a 7-8 hour layover in Toronto. Already today that have gotten to see such wonderful sights in Paris as
a) our apartment
b) the splendor that is the French grocery store called Monoprix
c) everything that is in between our apartment and the splendor that is the French grocery store called Monoprix (which, in our defense, includes a nice view of the Pantheon, Sorbonne, and Cluny Castle and museum, along with shops, restaurants, and other such day-to-day items)
As I write this post, they are bravely trying to stay awake long enough for dinner and then will probably pass out pretty soon afterward. That's okay, though, since we have the next two weeks to enjoy with them.
Woot!

More photos!
Ginna's here! -- And she's a great motivator. Look at all these photos I'm putting up!
Here are some of us going out to, and then returning home from, delicious (late) fondue dinner; then (next day) touring le Cimetière du Père-Lachaise with Ginna, Brian, Melissa.
Chartres with Ginna, 4-April-2009
Giverny with Ginna, 5-April-2009
And this is from much earlier, but here's a view of the Eiffel Tower from behind the library where I work.
Also from earlier, here are a couple of photos of sweet Sofia.

Pictures! Finally! -- photos, 8-February-2009 to 1-March-2009
Walking in the Luxembourg gardens with the Alexanderpools, pretty sky out our apartment window, a wee bit of snow, and a visit to Lille.
Lovely things seen during Joel's visit : Sainte Chapelle, Saint Severin, and the Louvre.
Musee d'Orsay on the first Sunday of the month (when Paris museums are free!).

A propos of nothing...
I saw this video online the other day, and I enjoyed it. Maybe you will, too.

More Protests - Now with Livestock
This morning between sips of tea, Ariel let me in on this bit of news:
"Oh boy! Yesterday there was this protest in the 7th [the part of Paris where the Eiffel Tower is, as well as the American Library in Paris, where Ariel works]. They had fireworks and marching. And a cow."
The end.
