Hello Bob,

>JO>French is frustrating...in Montreal I slowly start to
>JO>construct a sentence... and they speed up! :-)

BS>Indeed.  Years ago, when living in New Hampshire, we spent
BS>more than a few weekends visiting friends in the Dollard-des- Ormeaux suburb
BS>Montreal.  The visits were always
BS>memorable for the trying to keep up with those who chose
BS>not to speak English.

BS>It only became worse after the separatists took control.

Montreal is WONDERFUL!  The food is GREAT!  And the women are LOVELY!
Oh, what beautiful dames...all of them experts in French kissing!

>JO>And spelling! I'm bad enough in English...is French, hard
>JO>to believe: MUCH worse...

BS>Not so hard.  ;)

Je suis a la louisiane.  Je suis aussi cajun.  ;)

BS>Portuguese is difficult as well but hopefully using The Rosetta
BS>Stone system and a workbook with written exercises,
BS>including stickers for virtually everything in the house, will
BS>allow us to communicate relatively well when we visit Sao Paolo later this
BS>ear.

French is easy.  Especially when learned at an early age.  ;)

BS>Here in Orlando there is a large Brazilian community so the opportunity to u
BS>Portuguese is readily available.  As long as it is spoken S-L-O-W-L-Y enough

Most Cajuns speak French much more slowly than Canadians.  But we easily
understand each other.  However, there is no Cajun word for "mashed",
making it somewhat difficult for Cajuns to order mashed potatoes in
French-speaking parts of Canada.  Best to use your hands when making
such orders.

BS>My wife wishes to visit Wales and see the country of her forebearers.
BS>So perhaps we will set aside the time to do that this year as well.

Isn't the new Doctor Who from Wales?

BS>Inasmuch as our son-in-law is a flight instructor with the Delta Airlines
BS>flight school in Sanford, we get to travel for substantially reduced rates a
BS>generally first class in the bargain.

Never fly Cajun Airlines.  Trust me on this.  Instead of airplanes,
Cajuns use airboats.  Sometimes at very high speeds.  And let me tell
you, them things can fly!

BS>What did you think of Preznit Putz having his head handed to him by Helen
BS>Thomas in front of God and everybody?

For the most part, Bush has been tuned out by the American viewing
public.  About the only way he can regain some level of trust among
the American people is if he pulls our troops out of Iraq.

BS>I was struck by the many tics, jerks and incidents of laughing at inappropri
BS>times that punctuated his performance.  What is it with that, anyway?

Bush is nuts, and in need of psychiatric counseling.
