Umbrellas, seasonal?

My father had developed a theory of things becoming suicidal. Like if this cup decides to commit suicide it will try repeatedly to fall till it breaks. Umbrellas hide, get lost, break in the wind. I don't think umbrellas are suicidal. Just cheap.

Historical...

It turns out that during Napoleon III the French anthem was Partons pour la Syrie, In fact it was referring to the campaign in Egypt.  They kind of messed it, the French. And now they are left with going out to drink to show defiance.

Sang Impur

Yesterday, at the beginning of the show the choir sang La Marseillaise.  After all the Messiahs that I did not know and could not sing, here there was a song to my own deity- French democracy or revolution or whatever. Was the only one around who new the words. I sang along. Of course - my singing was false. Born with the wrong pitch. Sang Impur.
