Thanks so much--I'll look for it.

But I think we could use a daily fresh posting of this great pic. Should be "de riguer," just like "Belly Girl." :-)

(oops--sorry for the French phrase. It was an unforgivable slip of the tongue)

Here's the photo that should be at the top of the thread.


Sorry to the technology challenged. I couldn't help myself.

Speaking of the french... here's a little break....

Another story:

A friend of mine is an officer in the naval reserve. A few weeks ago, He was attending a conference that included admirals in both the US and the French navies. At a cocktail reception, my friend found himself in a small
group that included an admiral from each of the two navies.

The French admiral started complaining that whereas Europeans learned many languages, Americans only learned English. He then asked. "Why is it that we have to speak English in these conferences rather than you have to speak French?"

Without even hesitating, the American admiral replied. "Maybe it is because we arranged it so that you did not have to learn to speak German."

The group became silent.
