Was it Thoreau? Who said beware of a profession that requires new clothes?
Or more exactly after a google: Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes.

Wish me luck....

15502. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 7:57:46 AM

That's terrific, Ulgine-Bonne chance!

15503. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 8:20:42 AM

Hi Magoseph!

What's your favorite shade of flower?

15504. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 8:31:05 AM

Purple, here.

Yellow is a close second.

Red & Pink last place.

15505. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 8:43:50 AM

I had to think about this--I'd say white. I love lillies of the valley, camelias and orchids.

15506. Macnas - 6/16/2005 8:50:04 AM

Well done UB, best of luck.

15507. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 8:58:51 AM

Ah, you're a gardener after my own heart.

White sets off EVERYthing.

15508. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 9:03:37 AM

Macnas, your advice to not panic ---thankx!

It's going unheeeded, all the same.

Tell us more bout that job!

Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes.

A man after my heart, this Thoreau... it's about time I read him. But I fear I may be getting into such enterprises.

Not ones which require fluttery skirts, in case you're wondering... but conceivably something that will pass for a suit and tie. An old friend and colleague who I haven't seen for a couple of years, but was thinking of calling this week... calls me with the prospect of an interesting job.

Mago :
La dame aux camélias?

No, I think you're
Le lys dans la vallée.

I'll take Balzac over Dumas.

15511. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 10:22:15 AM

I saw two movies with Suzanne Flon--have you seen some of her work, Ali?

15512. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 10:23:11 AM

I saw L'Été meurtrier and La fleur du mal, this last recently.

15513. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 10:29:05 AM

You're right, Ali, Balzac is my man.

15514. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 10:30:00 AM

But you know, l'amour impossible was never in my repertoire.

15515. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 10:33:38 AM

Where is the locale for two summer olympics to date?

15516. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 2:38:29 PM

I couldn't get in for a while--so I mailed the Gatekeeper, but then I found that I could get in on IE, for goodness sakes!

15517. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 2:40:18 PM

I still can't get in on Firefox. I wonder why.

Thank you, wabbit, got it right this time.

I think you'd really like Thoreau, Alistair. I finally got Bob to read Walden last year and he loved it.
