Not only the correctness thing but health & safety and i'm a really cautious, safe person! Today in the UK paper it reports that uni students may no longer throw their mortar boards (graduation hats) into the air as is the tradition - in case they hurt themselves or others.

I am going to comment here as well -- I'm saying something different though. The slide show was so beautifully composed that at the end I felt a big swelling up inside of me. I really miss Paris. That was a beautiful ending. It also brought to mind the view I get of the Pyramid Building (same shape as tour le Eiffel) when standing on top of a San Francisco hill. We have a lot of those.Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-79289365961409439492008-05-29T20:16:00.000+02:002008-05-29T20:16:00.000+02:00phx-cdg a dit... "Lois, your picture on your blog ...phx-cdg a dit... <BR/>"Lois, your picture on your blog with the scene of Paris came to mind." Thank you for thinking of me. That was a beautiful comment. It was poetry. And I was surprised to see myself there. I finished the painting "Kissing Sur le Seine" the night before last. Eric, Katie and BuzzGirl saw it when they came over to my studio. It usually does not take a year for me to paint a painting. I have been traveling a lot to Paris and Montreal. Usually I paint three paintings a year. Maybe this is changing.<BR/><BR/>alexa a dit... <BR/>"And where is Lois today?"<BR/>I was at an interview. And then I went over to have lunch with the guys and watch the international soccer game -- US vs. UK. The UK won. The US isn't very good at this sport. It is my favorite male sport. The men are very handsome I think. Then after that I went to Cafe Bastille and hung out with Olivier (from France), Eric (from France), Jerome (from France), Sabina (from Bulgaria), Cindy (from France) and Julie (from France). Olivier just bought a big screen TV for the cafe. They are getting ready for the EuroCup starting June 6th. They were hanging little flags from all the countries. I could not guess which one was Russia (I got it wrong two times). Ilya, (from Russia), looked at me sideways. Hmmmm<BR/><BR/>Lynn, I have been telling people my whole life that, when I become an old lady, I want to live in France. I said, I like the way they treat older women there. I don't like the way they treat the elderly here in the US. They have a fixation on "young".Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-25461161502741355002008-05-29T19:57:00.000+02:002008-05-29T19:57:00.000+02:00Bettina, I hope you are still here -- I mailed the...Bettina, I hope you are still here -- I mailed the gallery cards yesterday.
