A Pallot-ful of Updates

Hey blogsy,

It's been a while since the last update and so much has happened.  Most recently I saw a film called In A Day, a nice (but not great) movie, but it had a good ending, and that's important. Anyway there is a song called New Years "performed" by the main character, but actually sung by Nerina Pallot. I really like her voice, which reminds me of  ... some other singers.  Check it out.

Also I went to a bookstore to hear Ellen Sussman talk about (and read from) her new book French Lessons. There were disappointingly few people there. :-(  The talk was nice and the book is now (physically) on my TBR pile.

We went to the Oakwood Sister City's' Sis-Boom-Ball event, which led to an event at Ariana's birthday party that inspired another 50 word story. (and more ideas are in the pipeworks)

Lisa & I went to The Winds Cafe for a special Southern France dinner event, as a birthday celebration.  Best meal I've had there.  Well, I'm not usually so impressed by them, so maybe that doesn't say a lot, but this meal was "Really good stuff."  Now I'll have to consider if I can afford going to one of their Garlic Dinner events.

Giora is in the US (on the West Coast) and as usual is incommunicado. Quel domage but ... c'est la vie.

Oh, we upgraded to smarty-pants phones. My top apps are:
Waze, Word Weasel, Geohash Droid, Backgammon, 2 PaperBackSwap apps I'm trying to decide between, and a test app I made for GasPriceWatch.

I think that's all for now, hope to see you again before another 3 months goes by.
