Hello Fellow Travelers,
I am going to write something about the recent terror attacks in Paris. I'll not recount the perseverance and fortitude of the French people, blah, blah, yes, they undoubtedly will prevail - it has been thoroughly covered and continues to be reported upon. I mean have you ever spoke with a French person? They are seriously stoic! Beyond blase!
Almost nothing surprises them! Parisians are notoriously fatalistic, "If it was meant to be, it was meant to be. Que Sera!" Jean Paul Sartre or Doris Day, I always mix them up!
My point is France and Paris in particular will not only survive Isis, they will continue to inspire the world! The best wine? French. The best food? Same. Fashion? Forget about it! Art? Ideas? Yes and yes! All France!
You want to know why Parisians always look so bored? They actually have been there and done "that"! And they come from the place that transcended whatever "that" is to an art form! Parisians aren't jaded, they're just exhausted from a lifetime of being in the center of arguably the most beautiful city on Earth.
Take the cookie, for instance; The French invented the perfect macaroon: delicately flavored and scented, exquisite in both taste and appearance. Iridescent perfection! What do we have? The Double "Stuft" Oreo. And we're damn happy to have it!
And so what does a senseless massacre a half world away have in common with a brain tumor survivor? As it turns out, quite a bit! Cancer is a terrorist, unpredictable and devastating. I was stalked by cancer! I was terrorized by it! However, I lived I've had to adapt a little (OK, a lot, but it's been pretty beneficial) but I'm better than I've ever been. Like the attacks last week, there are, in fact, survivors. An entire country of survivors. The entire world wants to protect Paris! Chanel is reason enough to track down whomever planned and/or carried out those horrific crimes.
I want to see Paris with my PS. The French are as inspirational in a gunfire scenario. I will walk again! I will stand around a lot! I like only the best, I survived more than one life-threatening experience, I have felt profoundly attacked since 2011. I complain a lot. Maybe I am French! Nah! I'm way too chipper to be French!

Travel to France was a goal I had for about the first of July, 2016 next year, to the Fibonacci Association meeting in Caen, in the Normandy area, the F.A. hold the European meeting every 4th year, and alternates every 2 years with the N. American sites. Caen would be nice [Cannes would be nicer I think!], I want to See Mt. St. Michael, especially. But what does travel there now look like? Strip you down dip you in truth serum? It won't be the same, I'm sure! And what about Customs? Maybe they will cancel the meetings, then in another 2 yrs, just go to the meetings at the US of A...
