To: fanfan
fanfan, I am surprised!! It is French* (LibreOuMort) -- and she is doing very well. Campaign season is kicking off, and she's landed a (paying) job with one of the local campaigns. She's just about ready to let go of the wheelchair AND the walker, though she still needs the cane for "extensive" walks w/o support (through the church parking lot, for example).

*French is her other native tongue, acquired in Belgium. And though the French look down on the French-speaking Belgians ("Walloons"), she also speaks perfect (I've heard from Frenchmen) Parisian French.

How's by you, other than the mosquitoes? (As yet I haven't seen any such here, though it's only a matter of time. Mosquitoes, liberals... one has to choose, it appears.)

Sorry about that.

"Bonjour."

That would be the extent of my proficiency in French.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Libre.

Everything is good here. Very, very busy at work, so little to no FReeping during business hours.
The best I can hope for is to do my Canada ping duty, but my personal mail and pings are piling up.

Supposed to be in the low 30's by next week....that would be in the 90's F.
