John had his customary slice of turkey with a dab of potiron (pumpkin) for lunch, but Agnes and Roxy forwent the gobble-gobble this year. Paris hummed along nicely today, no manifestations clogging up Boulevard Montparnasse with their fireworks and Micheal Jackson-blasting trucks, no late or absent trains on John's commute, no riot police on Cherche Midi. Could the greves be over? So soon? Paris is, as usual, oblivious to our Thanksgiving and the day of conspicuous consumption that follows. If the thought of lining up outside Abercrombie & Fitch at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning nauseates you, try celebrating Buy Nothing Day!

And they call it . . .kitty love
Calliope has been remarkably sanguine about her loss of stature since Roxanne's arrival and the perpetual harassment that she has endured since the babe became mobile. No hissing. No scratching. No swiping. The two small creatures have developed a lovely bond over the months. Here's Roxy givin' the kitty some lovin'.
Joyeux Anniversaire!
Today is Roxy's first birthday.
Kings and queens and bishops too, wanna wish the best for you, so wish
day, wash day whattya say, birthday, happy birthday . . . to you!
