... I want to get off! When I started this thing in early 2009, my intention was to publish 365 entries to the tune of four or five a week. While I initially skipped a few days, I soon felt that it might be worth aiming for a full year without any gaps. Today marks the 380th entry, and the 365th without missing a day. With every post, I tried to offer something new to smile or think about, or perhaps a tidbit about life in France. I featured 380 iPhone photos and linked to 102 more. It is now time to bring the curtain down and end this blog. Thanks to all of you who loyally accompanied me on this journey and who commented in the blog itself, by email, or in person. I shall definitely miss your company, but I hope to see you on my main or alternate web site soon. Goodbye for now...
