Paris Notes (2)

Paris chic:
The idea of the parisienne chic is something of a cliché, but when I
first visited Paris it appeared to me that it had some basis in fact:
the city seemed to have more than its fair share of well-groomed,
well-dressed women. It no longer appears so.

You should visit Milan, maybe Milan is the new Paris.


Perhaps if I wanted to seek out such women. But I prefer informality.


And then home to contemplate our next trip (Madrid).

It'll be interesting to see what you make of Madrid, on four business trips
there I saw no reason to go back as a tourist.


We don't go until late October; I hope that you can bear the wait.


(But there was a very good Mexican restaurant just off the main square).


You mean food with loads of chillis, burn-your-mouth-off stuff? Nah.
I'll settle for Spanish.

You really should try some Mexican food. If you cannot manage Mexico I
can make some suggestions in Houston.

shame nor fear in front of his parents, so he may be free ; the metic
becomes the equal of a citizen and the citizen of a metic, and
similarly with the foreigner.

It indeed so happens, he said.

To these, said I, such trifles do add up: the teacher, in such a case,
fears his pupils and fawns upon them, while pupils have in low esteem
their teachers as well as their overseers; and, overall, the young
copy the elders and contend hotly with them in words and in deeds,
while the elders, lowering themselves to the level of the young, sate
themselves with pleasantries and wit, mimicking the young in order not
to look unpleasant and despotic.

Socrates, as quoted by Plato in The Republic (this gets paraphrased in
innumerable valedictory addresses more or less as "old farts have been
complaining about kids at least since the ancient Greeks, so get over
it."]

Dr. George O. Bizzigotti extrapolated from data available...

(Substantial snippagio of Socratic wisdom)

Socrates, as quoted by Plato in The Republic (this gets paraphrased in
innumerable valedictory addresses more or less as "old farts have been
complaining about kids at least since the ancient Greeks, so get over
it."]

I find that the failure of Socrates 's generation to address this problem
has led to incalculable difficulties ever since. ....But then, as you and
Socrates so wisely espress, it may simply be too late to right both the
wrongs of yesteryear and our own personal parental shortcomings.

One reserves the right, howver, to hope that there is one/are a few honest
folk in the world, ready to standup and call upon a Parent to curb his
child (as readily as they would demand that folks "heel" their dogs).
After all, we legislate against rudely placed dog poop. Can we not force
folks to deposit their spawn in plastic bags?
