Bittersweet Symphony
On Sunday, I saw Paris.
I saw the incomprehensible catacombs.
I saw the triumphant Eiffel Tower.
I saw the Mona Lisa.
I saw the Arc d'Triumph and Winged Victory. Fitting?
But lo and behold, the most beautiful sight in the world
Was 6000 miles away.

Beautiful........I'm wiping off tears of joy right now.....nobody can put it to words better than you did.
ok. i understand the seahawks fan thing, but let's not go knocking paris, please.
It's easy to be a fan in Seattle. But to be a fan in the bosom of a fallen empire, amidst crumbling buildings and burning cars is to be a Fan.
Wait. Mike Holmgren is the most beautiful sight in the world?
Damn straight.

Thanks, Eugene. I cried a little, too.
Katie - I believe the next post will address some of your concerns. Don't fret: you're not the only one to bring the issue to the forefront.
Evyn - Where'd I say that? Point to it. Also, you're jealous.
Tino - Actually, I found Paris to be quite clean. Perhaps you should see it now that the Nazis are gone. Oh, wait, are you in Iraq?
I am glad to have you as a reader, and as a Fan. You were the only one to sound excited on the phone when we called from the former master bedroom.
Yes, Marco. He certainly is.
