Happy 2-Month-Old Birthday, Sophie!

Tomorrow (Aug. 28th) will be Sophie's two-month anniversary. And as the photo shows, she's very happy about it! She was very good tonight when we went out to dinner at a restaurant in nearby Cleveland Circle.

Since we haven't done so in awhile, how about a "French Word of the Day"? Today's word comes to us courtesy of Nicolas Sarkozy's latest scandal, and that word is "poignet d'amour", which is translated as "love handle." Apparently one of Sarkozy's supporters at the popular magazine Paris Match had airbrushed out the French president's love handles in photos accompanying an article describing Sarkozy's recent vacation in nearby New Hampshire.
