Joyeux Noël
We’re off to a birthday party for Fanchette’s son, Alexis, and his wife, Hélène. His birthday actually falls on today’s date, but hers was earlier (actually the same day as mine) but they’re celebrating together. By the way, the title above is the latest film that Alexis’ production company was involved with - I believe it is one of two French films nominated for best foreign film Oscar. Bonne chance, Alexis!
Question: What if we all decided to celebrate our birthdays on the same day each year, regardless of our actual birth dates? Wouldn’t that simplify a lot of calendar follow-up, e-mailing and residual guilt (when we forget) …
UPDATE on my fast: Today is day six of the fast and I’m feeling OK, not really missing food - although I had slight headaches days 3 and 4. Tonight may be a challenge, we’ll see.
