Paris

(Community Matters) Steven’s just arrived, called me from the cab. At one point he was conversing with the driver; I hadn’t heard him speak French in a long time. Traffic is heavy, which the driver blames on “your” Bush.

ST bonded with the driver and has engaged him for the return trip to airport on Thursday. Says he has to have a talk with the man since the driver kept correcting his French about his spouse, insisting on “wife” instead of “husband.”

“Our” room even has a view of the Eiffel Tower. Is there anything sexier than a tall, smart, good looking man who speaks French fluently?
