I'm not a saint, I'm not a soldier

I was woken this morning by the tearing air of a fighter jet going over the neighborhood. [personal profile] spatch later said it must have been a flyover for the Red Sox, but I was half-asleep out of nightmares and afraid it was going to bomb someone.

I woke up properly to discover that Gene Wolfe was dead and Notre-Dame de Paris is on fire.

Isn't it enough just to pay taxes?

True. I've been to Notre Dame, and have a photo of me standing next to a gargoyle imitating it. Pat and I were there many years ago, and it's one of my favorite moments from our travels. I cannot imagine Paris without it.
