One Month in Paris
One Month in Paris
 |
| At Musee D'Orsay. 30 Juin. |
In fact, maybe not at all! Here's the dreamscape to underwrite it: my french is improving quickly. Indeed, perhaps I am an idiot-savant for languages. Indeed, perhaps by summer's end I will have the mastery and vocabulary not of a migrant farm worker but of a grand ecoles-educated, duck-eating, St. Germain de Pres-living, homme politique. And indeed if that were the case, then I could simply take some work with a Paris-located multinational (consultingco?), immediately begin enjoying my 5+2 weeks of annual vacation, generous health plan, annual strike threats, and job security. If you don't think I'd do it, you really haven't tried the supermarket yogurt here. What they sell in the US (fruit on the bottom??) is cat's milk compared to this stuff.
