Many firms are a father & son firm, sometimes even grandfather; i.e., Stelling & Stelling, Townsend & Townsend, Tobin & Tobin, etc. So, yes, I guess you could say Majestic has a multi-personality.

Majestic is a nice man," just "Mr." But you better look it up because I'm definitely not an expert.Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-17338381114803690062008-12-04T00:23:00.000+01:002008-12-04T00:23:00.000+01:00Petrea -- yes I did, and a few other things I had ...Petrea -- yes I did, and a few other things I had purchased but couldn't take with me as well.

I miss all the tourist-ware-hawkers already!!<BR/><BR/>Guille - I just took the opportunity to look at a close up of your new photo - its excellent!<BR/><BR/>Petrea -- not to worry - I couldn't have done all these things without a plan. I have four pages, single spaced, of places and things I wanted to do, arranged by arrondisement. They're a bit worn, but I can xerox them easily enough!! : )<BR/><BR/>(My final post from Paris comes from LA!) After my last post, I got 3 hours sleep, then went to see what the concierge had told me about, betwixt packing and dashing to the plane. <BR/><BR/>I started at the bottom of the rue des Martyrs as it climbs the hill, Sacre Coeur's domes rising bright in the eastern light, then turned right and walked the rue de Condorcet, an area which housed many famous artists, writers and musicians. I was looking for two art nouveau buildings he'd told me of and they were impossible to miss when I saw them. Dripping with darkly contrasting ornamental floral shapes and female figures, they evoked the Paris of the '20's. While people did their morning errands or stopped for breakfast at cafes and tabacs, I stood and let it soak in. <BR/><BR/>After leaving these confections, I went south to the Place Franz Liszt (yes, he lived nearby) and looked up at the imposing columns of St. Vincent de Paul. Despite a somewhat worn facade, the interior was amazing. Among other things, extremely detailed mosaics line the whole length of the upper reaches of the church and culminate in the dome's mosaic. They show a procession of all types of figures - hundreds of them, leading to the altar. <BR/><BR/>Then, I walked down the rue de Lafayette, past a certain General Lafayette, and just before the Opera Garnier, went into a Societe Generale Bank which looked perfectly normal from the outside, but which hides a palace inside. Suddenly you leave 2008 and walk into 1870: gold, white, and blue mosaics cover the floors and walls; marble, ironwork, brass, bronze and dark wood fixtures abound. Topping this off is a white, brown, green and gold stained glass dome that exceeds the beauty of the dome across the street at Printemps because it hasn't been chopped off at the knees as that one has, but, instead is in its original setting. <BR/><BR/>When I saw the mosaics on the floor, I realized that the same colors and a similar pattern had been used for the Christmas lights on the Galeries Lafayette; but I'd been ignorant of that the other night. In the lobby there's a model of the building and an interactive screen which gives all kinds of info. <BR/><BR/>It was hard to leave. But, what a wonderful gift to get on my last morning!

I bill by the hour. I am very expensive and do contract work as a Specialist via global law firms. <BR/><BR/>"Get your legal opinion from someone in the trade, Eric, not from us." Eric did not ask us for a legal opinion.:) Michael was just wondering. Anyway, I don't "give" legal opinions. I just happened to be talking with an IP attorney on the subject, and asked him the question that Michael put out there. And that was the answer of Martin Majestic, Esq. (his speciality is IP). He has been in the profession for ever. I remember once, he told me that one of his clients was a member of the UK royal family. I saw the stationery -- very impressive. Messrs. Majestic is also a very nice man. He and his colleagues have contributed a lot to my career.Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-85477770777029358842008-12-03T19:41:00.000+01:002008-12-03T19:41:00.000+01:00Très jolie photo ;-)Malheureusement, toutes nos bo...Très jolie photo ;-)<BR/>Malheureusement, toutes nos bonnes marques européennes de chocolat se font racheter par Kraft (Milka qui appartenait à Suchard, Cote d'Or...)Frimoussehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716322726525202130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-23253138425178617212008-12-03T19:28:00.000+01:002008-12-03T19:28:00.000+01:00Wonderful image, Eric.
