<p>I learned that marite is really pronounced “mary-tay”, not “mar-eet”, and that marite is French and looks like Catherine Deneuve.</p>

<p>I don’t know any Germans to surrender to.</p>
<p>I just saw that “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” is on the Sundance channel tonight. It’s an unusually done French movie (or is it really Belgian??). Maybe I’ll watch it for a bit to get into the spirit of the anniversary of the “Battle of Vouille”.</p>

<p>Very good. Very very good.</p>
<p>Jacques Bre–Belgian? Say it isn’t so!</p>
<p>Still good, and still says “France” to me. Probably the first song I ever heard was one recorded by Judy Collins, “La Chanson des Vieux Amants” I think.</p>
