entre nous

this might be my favorite book. i bought it several years ago and i pick it up all the time just to refer back to the things i loved about it. it's a little book about the french way of life and that "je ne sais quoi" that certain people seem to possess. it covers every aspect of living. i love it. several of my best friends own it now as well. there is the greatest stuff in this book that i would love to share from time to time. just assume that if it has quotes around it, it is from this book. enjoy your good friday and weekend...pg

on children and time: "i believe that boredom is one of the most formative experiences in childhood. kids must learn to be creative on their own instead of constantly being entertained and distracted. they must take time to be children. they must learn the fine art of doing nothing in particular."
