La Belle France

Just got back from a most excellent time in Lyon. Had a great time, and
managed to (mostly) avoid butchering the poor lingua franca more than
necessary.

I did have a coupla oopsies - "Qu'est que c'est le toilette" and "Je ne
parlez vous Anglais". Thankfully, my Gallic hosts were very polite, and
only laughed a bit.

Still, not bad considered I gave up French before CSE back in the early
'80s.

Still, back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now .....
