This evening as I walked from the RER to my house I passed a woman of african decent who carried a large box on her head. No hands... I've always wondered how they do that. She walked extremely smooth and had the most impecible posture. She was quite tall, too. I guess things like this make my mind spin. I'm not in Africa, but it has come to me.


Its Friday. I made it. I coughed most of the way through it. I sneezed quite a bit too. My nose is running like a faucet. My throat is tried. My brain is tried. My body is weary. Last weekend I was sick too. I hope I get over the worst of it tonight so I can enjoy the weekend. Saturday night is our church's outreach evening: Mexican food in celebration of a late Valentine's Day prepared by the French. Apparently it will attract 50% unbelievers and we'll total over 100 people.


I wonder what would happen if suddenly English grammar adopted a new conjugation of all verbs in a subjuntive nature? What would we sound like? "I want that you go to post office." "It must that you swim 10 laps." "I wish that you marry you with a Christian." Of course "go", "swim" and "you marry" would have some strange spelling and pronunciation like "gose" and "swime" and "you marriye"... Just trying to wrap my mind around something totally obsurd.
