"Miss L. Toe" wrote: 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. |

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? ;-P TMO |
