@Omdg – that would be cool in 1987 – kind of like winning an iPad now. Someone once raffled off several iPads before one of my speeches and it is the happiest an audience has ever been except for when the bar is open for a speech.

This was back in 1987, so kind of a big deal. We watched so many movies on that thing! I don’t especially have a desire to hang out with my kids teachers, but it sounds like you had a lovely experience. So yay!

I usually don’t give them a second glance, but you’re right. There are often really cool experiences that would be hard to arrange otherwise.

Love the sonnet- I can feel the warm Paris breeze!
