Writer, web designer, etc.; born in New York; educated in Argentina, Scotland, and South Africa; now based in London. I bought a copy of France-Amerique, the international edition of Le Figaro, tonight and decided that I needed to brush up on la belle langue. I trekked up to the attic to find my old French textbook, and stumbled upon an indulgence granted by the Blessed Pope Pius XII and an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Paul VI. How random! Nonetheless, I must get on with France-Amerique.
