[Leica] Happy Thanksgiving - Howard

[hlritter at bex.net (Howard Ritter)]

Ah, je comprends bien. Merci beaucoup! La photographie est tres  
charmant.
We have frogs in our family, too, and a semi-frog. My wife's sister  
and her (German) husband have made their home in Paris for almost 4  
decades. Their three children have very mixed identities with elements  
of all three cultures, but they're really French at heart. We took one  
of our Parisian nephews to his first baseball game here in Toledo,  
Ohio, a couple of years ago when he was in the States to interview for  
an MBA program. We love visiting Paris and France, maybe my favorite  
city, and hope to be there again next summer to see Lance Armstrong  
trying to avoid looking foolish and overreaching. My dream vacation  
for the summer I retire is to start out standing in the ticket line at  
the Gare du Nord with a Frenchrail Pass, a guidebook to France, and an  
appointment book that's empty for the next couple of months. And my  
wife and M8.
