Happy St. Valentine's Day

In September, 1995, I proposed to Lorie in this very spot on the Pont Neuf.

When she said, "Oui," ;^) I threw into the Seine my copy of "Why Men Shouldn't Marry."

Paris. "Le Plan de Merian" - 1615

"Cette ville est un autre monde
Dedans, un monde florissant,
En peuples et en biens puissants
Que de toutes choses abonde."

(This city is another world / Therein a flowerful world / Of people very powerful / To whom all things abound)
