Home Is With YouBar Wall, Paris

She gazed at the wall, full of oddball treasures and tidbits that mostly resembled her memories. 
"You know" she said quietly, not looking at him directly, but instead holding him just inside her peripheral view, 
"No matter where or when we go... home will always be with you."

He smiled. 
She sighed. 
The clock ticked 5pm.

FlyParis, France

In the bleakest moments a hand is offered.
An unexpected assist.
From an unexpected source.
Light in the darkness. 
Offering a choice. 
Life.
Remember.
Fly.

She Was Itching To Travel
She wanted to go somewhere far from home. 
Where the "c" word on the sticker was anything but "convenience".
Cafe, croissant, culture, coiffe and maybe even couture. Yes, those were infinitely better.

Bikes For Rent
It's called Velib... and it's Paris' genius rent-a-bike program, brainchild of the mayor. For a few coins, you hop on a bike, ride it to wherever you need to be - and park that puppy in the undoubtedly nearby docking station.  Miss the last subway train at 1am? Rent a bike! Late night of clubbing, no taxis handy? Use the Velib! Don't want to have your own bike ripped off or worry about where to park it? Voila! A lovely rental bike is just waiting to roll to your destination. 

How much does revenue does it pull in? I just read an article from 2007 that claimed $28 million for that year. 

I love smart ideas.

It's Time for Oo
It's thirteen after two.
Which is later than I knew.
So I'll take my cue,
'N say toodle-oo.
But before I do,
Know this is true:
I took this just for you.

He looked right. 
Then left.
And followed his bony nose out into the night.

Grammophone Dreams
Paris. The restaurant was closed, but the grammophone held the promise of a wonderful meal tomorrow. Shot from the outside, there were reflections and schmears galore on the window glass. But I think that's cool. 'Cause I love how it's grungy on the outside, soft and warm and musical on the inside. Like a really good friend.

Music In The Abstract
I admit it, have a fascination with the lines and designs of musical instruments. 
Especially close up. My husband's a bass player (jazz, upright) and basses are beyond cool... but really, any instrument left lying about or open is fair game to me! 
Each one is such a masterpiece. Like this piano... a Steinway, I think.
