FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2006 -- Marti & I are hitting the road today in opposite directions. We'll be apart less than a week on these first trips of December, then we'll reunite for a few days back here in Paris. While we regroup, my bride & I will party heartily with dear pals visiting from the States. Then we'll take off again for Canada & the U.S. We'll be away for most of December, returning just before Christmas to celebrate the holidays with our Paris pals.
