    what I posted on Facebook I'll share here too:

    Well, here's what happens when you don't attend meetings. The community garden group elected me "compost captain" in absentia. I'm going to go over to linkedin.com and add it to my resume.

    Oh, and I have a new slogan: Je parle français comme une vache espagnole. I think I'll put it on a t-shirt, eh? I came across that today. It sums up the French attitude to foreigners speaking their language AND it pretty much sums up my ability to speak French.

    Sitting here, laughing to myself, and then looking around quickly to see if the guys from the funny farm are headed my way.

    How was your day? As funny as mine? Share, eh?

    Hortensia! Here where I am it was a good day - my favorite music group released a new CD today (the Steep Canyon Rangers) - but anyway, my dearest friend came home from town and told me about the run-in with a JW we used to be in frequent contact with. One of your true pushy, insistent, never let you go once her teeth had a good hold of you, know it all, smarter than thou, tiresome, exBethelite born-in - you know the type.

    Well she got told, we have quit going to meetings and her precious organization is no better than any other religion. "Oh," she says, "Did someone stumble you?"

    LOL

    She got told, we've never been happier than since quitting that pedophile-protecting, hypocritical, lying, greedy, manipulative organization. And that was the end.

    OH man, I laughed and laughed. It was a great story. I remember everybody always walked on eggshells around her for years, she just got her way about everything, she was so intimidating! Well, not this time, YEAH!

    Je vous aime

    Je vous adore

    Que voulez-vous

    Depuis encore?

    Can you translate, H? (the conclusion is somewhat idiomatic)

    "I love you, I adore you. What more do you want?"

    Je veux apprendre le français un peu plus vite.

    and "veux" is a devil of a word to pronounce

    Well, you could bypass "veux" and say:

    Je voudrais apprendre [. . .] -- I would like [. . .]

    Voo-dray

    Tu fais tres bien, Hortensia, et demontres de bon progres.

    Alors, je dois te quitter afin de promener un chien avant la tombee de la nuit. Il y'a de grands chats chez nous.

    Bien des choses de ma part.

    I spent all day working on architectual support detailis so a major NBA player can have a 9 foot mirror suspended over his bed.

    Seriously.

    I bet this major NBA guy is quite humble, and doesn't have much of an ego, eh?

    I looked up "yaughts" and found it in the urban dictionary online. That would make for a "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" sort of day.

    BTW, you can all now address me as Captain Compost Ma'am!

    profiter de votre promenade avec le chien et regarder dehors pour ces grands félins

    I still have to look up lots of words, but I did practice reading a travelogue about Brittany today and understood about half the words.

    Lucy and her diamonds reminded me of this, Caliber:
