Oh! makes me want to *go* to Paris. Very nice.
Work with that Pavement memory, too. For a brief moment that was a high dramatic theater, with an unhinged drummer and tunes leaking out of the fuzz, even better than you thought it was at the time. |

i often read the iht (just the nytimes with an int'l slant) many mornings at my favorite cafe in addition to local english-language publications. it's not boring, not irritating...just routine. just as if i was in any city reading the daily paper (well, not any city). stating the obvious..such a difference between being a tourist and a working resident. no orderly parks in the US? parts of the Mall in DC, especially the straight path lined with trees from the Capitol to the Washington Monument. city plan originally conceived by Frenchman Pierre L'Enfant. this part of the mall is a marvelous jogging path, especially early evening as the sun begins to set behind the monument. i got out quickly then as it wasn't safe after dark. after i left the city, i missed this for so long, until the memory finally began to fade. |

Beautiful writing. We tennis hounds are bound to lose you sooner or later, but I'll enjoy your posts while I can. |

That is the Paris I know and love ... the best part of the day. Beautiful, Steve, as ever. |

Enjoying your writing from Paris so far. |

Steve - I have a question to ask you (and I mean it as a compliment). How in the blazes did you end up writing for the sport of Tennis ?
Seems to me you could be a literary columnist with expressionist or romantic overtones as well as you write about Tennis.
Let me just say, I am glad you write for Tennis. I may not agree with your opinions all the time, but the literary quality of your columns do make it worthwhile. |

So did you find the church, and was the sermon good? |

Ok, I'd love to be able to express myself much better than I do, just to write a comment that could do justice to such a great post, but I'm afraid I can not; so, I´ll just say that you write beautifully. When I read these words, I can see those places and I can hear the sounds. Thank you! |

Thankyou Steve
I am going to R.G. next year (come hell or high water!) and your wonderful sceneries make me all the more determined. What a magnificent writer you are. |

Steve, I love your descriptions of Paris, where I try to spend a month every year, most of it in the 5th and 6th--home of the Luxembourg Gardens and Le Rostand...you get the city, just the way you get Rafa. |

Steve - What are you doing here in Tennis! Best piece of yours.
Btw, I enjoy your blogs so far - don't leave us - the tennis fanatics. |

I knew this one would be good, like all the pieces from Paris, when I first saw it posted. I didn't want to read it then, I wanted to save it for when I am bored or when I need something to lift me up. I read it this afternoon. I was right, it's very good. Thanks Steve! |
