French Lessons


Why not a picture of cute nephew Henry trucking along in his sweet automobile to lead things off? It's been awhile since my favorite nephew was featured.

I woke up this morning earlier than usual in order to wait in line at City Hall. I've decided to take French lessons, and apparently the City of Paris has an excellent and cheap program. However, it evidently fills up fast, and in order to increase the chances of getting in, it's recommended that you starting making the queue before City Hall even opens on Sept. 1st, the first day of enrollment for the first semester. Let's hope I get in.

French phrase of the day: to describe a village that's out in the middle of nowhere (a.k.a. "out in the boonies") the French expression is "le trou de cul du monde"...literally, "the hole of the ass of the world." So sophisticated, the French language.
