Reservoir!

[thisnewday]

My "bucket list," if I actually have one, would probably consist of getting new handle grips for my hybrid bike, a new mountain bike if I REALLY decided to go all out, and maybe binge-watching Treme or The Wire one last time.

My twin sisters, on the other hand are, at this moment, awaiting takeoff from San Francisco airport for their direct flight to Charles DeGualle airport in Paris, France.

The younger sister--by two minutes--texted me "Au revoir," before the order came to shut off their phones.

I replied, "Reservoir," because I had only taken Spanish in high school and college and that was the only "French" word I knew.

Safe flight and happy landings to them both...

how exciting.

Yeah, my dad was in Paris soon after it was liberated during WWII and we heard his stories, as kids growing up, and that may have contributed to their fascination with the place.

Although, to be sure, Paris would be fascinating even without that bit of family history playing in the background...
