]]> Commentaires sur (English) Moderation par Mary http://www.o-chateau.fr/stuff-parisians-like/moderation.html?lang=fr/comment-page-1/#comment-10519&lang=fr Mary Tue, 07 Sep 2010 01:55:39 +0000 http://www.o-chateau.com/blog/?p=744#comment-10519 Moderation, eh? Now I'm a bit concerned about my upcoming visit to O'Chateau in two weeks. I'm from southern California and we don't overuse our wine-stoppers. It flows heavily when it flows at all. Drinking wine on my patio near the ocean is a "let 'er dance" kind of thing. As my friend Shelly reminds me, "What's in a bottle of wine? Four glasses? What kind of insanity is it to stop there?" Yes, we laugh. Yes, we let go. Moderation? Not so much. If that is offensive to Parisiens and I assume it will be, I apologize in advance. But, we are a very stressful country as well and when we let go, we let GO. Never drink and drive, tho. I'll give us that. Come to think of it, most Americans don't practice moderation in much of anything. We work, drive, laugh, eat, drink, dance and worry to excess. Maybe I can learn how to slow that down while in Paris. Moderation, eh? Now I’m a bit concerned about my upcoming visit to O’Chateau in two weeks.

It wasn't all Pétanque and pasta, sailing and socca. And your parents always thought would NOT amount to anything in TWO LANGUAGES. Way to show them that a mis-spent youth with a trail of empty wine bottles can lead to a career. Great Work. And I thought you had taken the summer off…stumbling from cave to cave.
