  • A Visitor from France:

    Doubly Appropriate

    From Log24's Xanga footprints this morning:

    France Weblog http://search.ke.voila.... 4/1/2007
    8:33 AM

    The "Weblog" link is to a Log24 page containing the last five entries dated Sept. 22, 2002, or earlier.

    The first impression one has on clicking "Weblog" is that the visitor
    was interested in George Steiner, C. S. Lewis, and a game of chess with
    God-- appropriate topics for today, Palm Sunday.

    This, however, is just the top entry of the five on the page.  A
    check of the referring link shows the visitor to have been interested
    in neither chess nor God, but rather in sombreros-- an appropriate
    topic for today, April Fools' Day.

    Stories
    and Endings

    true-story teller who would keep that from you."

    Today is both Palm Sunday and April Fools' Day.
