Tho' a BALMY 67+ degrees, I saw preoes for the X-mas lights going up on avenue des Champs-Élysées today after teaching. Imagine it's a huge job. But Paris does it right. Am so unimpressed wfolks knocking tawdrinessdinginess. etc of the area. So what!? Be a kid again! Enjoy the moment. Revel! Exult! Dream. We just dont exult enough! (Nothing stays the same. All areas change. Sometimes for better, ...whatever).
