My deepest apologies to our friends from the le Gran Republique (sp?) . I hope yesterday was a great day, with lots of beer/wine & socializing and good food.

My apologies for missing the day. I have no idea why, but I have committed it to memory as July 18th. I realized my error when I saw that story about Chirac.

Anyway, despite our difference on some things, I wish you well. Viva la France!
