Happy New Years, all my wonderful, phantom readers! So much to catch up on… In the coming days I will be offering up entries on just some of the following: Xmas at the Grands Magasins, modern architecture in the 14th arr., the OLPC (and why I want one), the iPhone (ditto), fast-food chains as public space, Wikipedia!, holiday meal run-down, submerged treasures of Egypt, some fun Paris web-finds, Zingaro equestrian acrobatics, Honfleur, Rouen, and the abundance of fine steak in Paris. Not a bad working list. Lift one for luck – I’ll git ‘er done.
