On this day, I honor the women who have chosen not to bear children.
For they nurture the mothers … they nurture the mother’s children when the mothers are tired …
they nurture all the things that are forgotten.

Bonjour cherie,
Pretty soon, I’ll regale you with sounds of new bands, tales of unbelievable food and bon temp sights.
But, for now, I’m exhausted and home. 11 more days of 12-hour workdays … woohoo!!!
