Time for an Eason Update!

Lynne Reports: Tim's Great Hurrah!

Tim had a rather surreal ending to his day yesterday:

They bussed the groups to the cave of Champagne, made from Roman chalk caves.

100 feet under ground they toured the champagne making process and then had a 6 course feast in the hall of Bacchus, still underground.

He said he never thought that he would have that experience.

In Paris, he just entered the Louvre through the IM Pei pyramid, he said it is pouring down rain and he cut in line because he was not going to stand outside in that mess.No wonder Americans are not liked.

He is going to try the one and a half hour self-guided masterpiece tour.

He is staying at the quaint little Emeraude Hotel Louvre Montana tonight, and getting up early for his flight home tomorrow.

After hanging out for a while in the Cafe de Philosophers, that is.

it is all it is cracked up to be - a gem of medieval architecture to be sure.

more stained glass than I imagined and extremely "lofty"

was severely damaged in WWII and is still being restored but they don't think the towers will ever be restored, a shame

Charles Has a Dream

Last night I dreamt an alternative ending to Spencer's finsih at Western. As the dream progressed Spencer had stopped going to school and was painting wooden commercial buildings (such as the Edison Eye) built in the 1920's and earlier all around Skagit County.

He was living in a Basement apartment and you had asked me to visit with Spencer and convince him to go back to school. As Spencer was showing me around the apartment you and I started to realize that these paintings were incredible and that Spencer was a much more talented painter than designer.

All the while the song "Jeepers Creepers Where'd You Get Those Peepers" was playing loudly as a soundtrack to the dream... it was a classic 1920's Broadway version of the song. I believe there were dancing girls doing the Charleston in Spencer's apartment.

to celebrate.
