It’s All Maya!

First on Thursday evening an Austrian tour bus (some reports say it was a German tour bus) fell into the Seine! Thank goodness no one was in the bus that sunk within a matter of minutes.

Maya Muses:  It reminds me somewhat of our boating accident last year. Something I would rather forget!

I know, I know!  I haven’t been writing much on my blog lately, but believe me it’s not because I haven’t been writing.  Just the opposite!  Yesterday I wrote 30 pages, yep, 30 pages of a novel that I’m writing.  I’ve had this idea in my head for quite some time and when the story […]

About a year ago this time I was talking to a friend of mine and asking her the usual, how things were going, etc.  Our conversation went something like this:
Me:  So, what’s new?
Monique:  Oh Gérard came to see me today (her ex) and we were talking about how there are so many festivities honoring music, […]

What does the Swine Flu and kissing in France have in common?  Not much, but one may have a very strong influence on the other this Fall and Winter!  In a country that has made kissing an art, health officials in France are advising schools, companies, and the public in general against this traditional form […]
