...killing moon...

For some reason I have that song in my head...and for the life of me can't remember if that's the exact title...and if it's by Echo and the Bunnymen. I'm fairly sure it is by Echo and The Bunnymen...but you never know and I really would hate to be wrong.

I digress.

Mary Ellen, to answer your question, yes, I am still enjoying that new car smell. What an incredible addition to the Slattery-Oblinger family! We're all just so pleased. I think Libby really enjoys the car as well. She's never had a sunroof so she's not quite sure what to think of it.

It has been quite the experience for all of us.

Thanks for the phone call Sunday night. I knew something felt off. It was not seeing you. I know we've said it before, but it's just so weird the way we saw each other so frequently in college...then weekly for those 6 months after college...to once every 6 months for a few years...and now almost every weekend again! I wish it could be that way with Leslie too, but for some strange reason I just know it can't be. I had a dream about her the other night. I vaguely remember the dream at all, but I do remember vividly feeling happy. Leslie just has that way about her. I swear her smile could light up a room...and her laugh is infectious. (is that the right phrase? :) She emailed me back yesterday about a possible visit to Athens. I'd love to go in December..so miss Mary Ellen, if you are up for it..just let me know. She says that she and Mimi don't really have furniture..so maybe we could just get a hotel room...? Thoughts?


One last thing before I go. To make a long story short, I am included in an old neighbor's address book. This guy, Aurelien, is French and just happened to live in my last apartment complex. We happened to meet one morning while scraping snow off our cars. Anyway, in that 10 minute conversation we both realized we had an affinity for photography. He left a cd of some Atlanta shots on my doorstep and I've been a part of his email group ever since. Today I received the latest batch of photos. These were taken last week at the Eiffel Tower. To be honest, I've never seen Paris more beautiful. The sky is perfectly blue and the sun is shining brightly over the city. I wanted to share these photos with you as I know you will fully appreciate them. Personally, I get sad seeing pictures like this as I realize how lackluster cities like Atlanta truly are. This makes me want to get back to Europe tomorrow. Thank goodness for Italy.
