An Important Message from Keith Olbermann

Another Day Off

As is the case in the United States, November 11th is a holiday is France. Here, it is known as l'Armistice, since it was on this day in 1918 that WWI ended. Contrary to Veteran's Day in America, all of the stores here are closed. No big Galeries Lafayette 36-hour sales. I've done nothing all day except eat, watch TV, and waste time on the internet. It was lovely!

Sunday was a good day for me as well. As usual, not much was accomplished, but my friend Hélène invited me to come to her parents' house for dinner. Not one to turn down a free meal, I accepted. They were very welcoming, and it was nice to have dinner on a Sunday night with a family, even though it wasn't my own. I do miss the Sunday night meals at home.

Otherwise, not much to report. Stay in touch, send a letter, an email, a pigeon...
