Mario's View of Paris

This is part of an email I received from my friend Mario today in response to my email to him, asking about his recent trip to Paris. I found it very entertaining and thought I would share one man's view of Paris.

Paris was wonderful. And get this…while riding the very crowded Metro during rush hour, I was conveniently sandwiched between trois jeunes hommes très beaux. (well, younger than me) Talk about your gift with purchase.

I never knew riding the subway could be so much fun. Every direction I looked, I got a view of beautiful France.

Each one with remarkably great skin, a hint of stubble, gorgeous eyes and rosy cheeks that looked freshly pinched …and they even smelled like they bathed and used cologne. They smelled even better than a loaf of freshly baked croissant…with melted butter. And let me tell you, I love my carbs. What can I say? "Paris...je t'aime"

Oh…the city was gorgeous, too.


So, merci bien, Mario for that slice of Parisian life!

Fog Juice

Yesterday I went looking for fog juice at Target. One would think that on Halloween fog juice would be a hot seller. One would, you know. After all, you need fog juice for the fog machine that makes that graveyard you've set up in the courtyard to look scary. Fog juice is a very important ingredient for Halloween at the Haunted Larson Lodge and Cameron put it on my shopping list, right after hair color and before deodorant.

But, alas, there was no fog juice at Target. You know what was on the shelf where the fog juice used to be? Something much, much scarier....

Christmas lights.
